"Last year I wanted to change my carpet out with hardwood floors. I already had hardwood in the kitchen and foyer. I wanted to replace all the carpet with the same flooring or close to it. After speaking with lumber liquidators, Luna Flooring, Empire and a local shop in VA (that quoted me without a site visit) I decided to go with District floor depot. I stopped in the store on a Wednesday and the following Saturday Mani was at my home for a consult. He was very professional and did not try to upsell me on anything. He suggested the style he thought would be a perfect match and he was right. The following Monday I had a quote in my email. Unfortunately, I was not able to get the floors done so almost a 10 months later I called the store to see if I can get it done and they remember me and had all my information still and was ready to proceed. Heidy was very helpful and stayed in touch with me throughout the project until completion. Even as I changed some of the material and install dates they still was very professional and accommodating. I really like that I did not have to be home during the installation. The installers was prompt and early and did not waste any time getting to work. The team that did my installation worked from the time they got there until they left. And they left my home just as they found it. They cleaned up any mess that was made and took all trash with them. I did not find any trash in or around my home at all. Then to top it all off to get a follow-up call after the installation to make sure I was satisfied with the outcome was also a nice touch. They have a very customer orientated & professional staff overall. My experience was excellent. I highly recommend anyone that is looking to get their floors done to give them a look. I will be using them again myself to do my parents’ home next."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

There are a couple of color options to consider when installing carpet in high-traffic areas (like entrances and stairways). Medium-toned colors and patterned carpets can work well in these parts of your home because dirt and stains can blend in easily. Dark carpets will also conceal marks and spills, but they show lint and other light-colored debris. Consider a medium brown or tan for your high-traffic areas. Either way, it’s best to avoid paler shades, like white and cream, which get dirty easily.

In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.

It is not recommended to install or stretch a carpet without a power stretcher. Skipping essential tools like a power stretcher and a knee kicker will likely result in an improper installation, leaving you with wrinkles, creases, and an unappealing final look. While a knee kicker can provide some limited stretching for thinner carpets, it is not a proper substitute. Attempting to stretch a carpet by hand or with homemade tools can also shorten its lifespan. For the best results, you should buy or rent a stretcher. If you do not want to use a stretcher, it is better to hire a professional for the installation.

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.

While not always required, experts recommend removing baseboards before removing old carpet and installing a new one. This practice leads to a smoother process and a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. Removing the baseboards allows for a seamless carpet installation without the risk of damaging either the carpet or the trim. It also provides a good opportunity to repaint or stain the baseboards and inspect the underlying wall for any issues. If you prefer a quicker option, you can carefully cut the old carpet along the edge of the baseboards, but this may result in a less polished installation for the new carpet.
