Q: Does carpet tile need padding?

• <div><p>Because carpet tiles are designed to adhere to the subfloor directly, it&rsquo;s usually not a good idea to install padding under them. Some carpet tiles come with padding attached to the tile if you prefer a cushier walking experience. In some cases, you can use a compact underlayment beneath your tiles, but you would likely need help from a pro to accomplish this type of installation. </p></div>

Q: How long does carpet installation take?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the area size and preparation needed.</p></div>

Q: Will installing carpet over carpet affect the resale value of my home?

• <div><p>Installing carpet over carpet may negatively impact the resale value of your home. While it offers a quick fix, potential buyers may view it as a temporary solution rather than a long-term investment in quality flooring. Properly installed and maintained flooring adds value to a home, so removing the existing carpet and installing new flooring may be a better option to attract prospective buyers and maximize resale value.</p></div>

Q: Is a stair runner cheaper than a carpet?

• <div><p>A stair runner can be cheaper than a carpet and will definitely save money over the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hardwood-floor-refinishing-cost-and-other-factors.htm">cost of refinishing hardwood floors</a> and stairs. The price depends, however, on the fabric and quality of the runner. A wool stair runner can be more expensive than an inexpensive polyester carpet and vice versa. Keep an eye on your budget, knowing that the higher quality the carpet and the carpet pad, the better the carpet will wear over time.</p></div>
