"Everything seemed fine until the crew arrived. They were late, but the scheduler did call about 45 minutes after the arrival time to let me know. The minute the leader stepped into my house, he began complaining that the job was not as he was told, and then began quizzing me all about the communication I had with the scheduler. I had to tell him the details given to me about the estimate. He then told me that he would have to charge extra to move some of the furniture (not what the scheduler had said). He then demanded that I show him the emails exchanged with the scheduler, as if I had been lying to them. The complaining made me so uncomfortable, that I told him to leave if he didn't feel he could do the job. He said no, that he would do it, but then went outside to call the scheduler himself. We proceeded to move most of the furniture ourselves, just to expedite the process. I then received a call from the scheduler, who hinted that I had mislead her as to how big the rooms were, although I had given her actual square footage specifications. She finally said ok, they would do the job as agreed, but that they had to do some extra space in a hallway, and had to charge an additional fee. At this point, I was stuck, as the crew had already begun working. The bottom line is that the work quality itself was good, but the level of professionalism was poor. Customers should never be pulled into internal disputes, and inadequate job scoping is not the fault of the customer."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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 carpet repair costs over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.

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.

Carpet padding costs an average of $510 to purchase and install in a 225-square-foot room. The price can range from as low as $170 to as much as $850, depending on the brand, the thickness, and the labor cost. Although carpet padding will increase the overall cost of carpet installation, it also helps the carpet hold up longer, reduces noise in the room, and provides more insulation.

Most projects take 1-3 days, depending on space size and complexity.

Installing carpet padding is mostly a matter of measuring the room and cutting the carpet pad to size with a utility knife. You can save some money on carpet installation costs by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room’s perimeter and prepare the subfloor by cleaning and making any necessary repairs. Then, unroll the carpet pad and cut sections as needed. Staple the carpet pad to the subfloor along the edges, leaving the tack strips exposed.
