What happens if you don’t put padding under carpet?

• <div><p>If you don’t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won’t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-repair-cost.htm">carpet repair costs</a> over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.</p></div>

Is it worth re-stretching the carpet?

• <div><p>Stretching a carpet should be a one-time job. If by re-stretching you mean doing it a second (or third) time, it’s probably better to replace it altogether. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">Most carpets are expected to last</a> anywhere from five to 15 years, so if it’s past that timeframe, you may want to shop around for a new one.</p></div>

Do buyers prefer carpet or laminate?

• <div><p>What a buyer prefers usually depends on the home’s layout and which material fits the current aesthetic. The local real estate market can also dictate these desires to some extent, as do the buyer’s personal preferences. With that said, laminate can increase the resale value of a home by a tiny bit, whereas carpet does not. Hardwood increases the resale value by the highest amount.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a special floor in a wet room?

• <div><p>In a wet room, you need a floor that won&rsquo;t sustain damage with constant exposure to water, but your options are normally the same as with a bathroom. Ceramic and porcelain tile are suitable options, as are natural stone like granite and marble, much like in a standard bathroom. Since a wet room&rsquo;s floor is more likely to be wet, you should choose a flooring option with some texture to reduce how slippery the material gets.</p></div>

Q: Can you put a new tile floor over an old tile floor?

• <div><p>Yes. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-tile-over-tile.htm">tile over tile</a> if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it&rsquo;s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor. </p></div>
