Q: How often should I replace my carpet in a home with kids and pets?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">The life span of carpet</a> in a home with children and animals depends on factors like the carpet material&rsquo;s quality, how frequently you clean and maintain it, and the level of foot traffic. On average, carpets need to be replaced every five to 15 years. Signs of wear, matting, or persistent odors may indicate that it's time to contact a local flooring company to replace your carpet.</p></div>

Q: When should I remove old carpet?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">Carpeting lasts</a> between 10 and 15 years in most cases, but keep an eye out for common signs that it's time to replace it. Persistent smells despite deep cleaning, faded color, worn-down carpet padding, and general wear and tear are signs that it's time to tear it up. If you are experiencing allergy issues indoors, this could also be a sign that new flooring is the key to a fresher home.</p></div>

Q: What flooring materials do floor transitions work best with?

• <div><p>Door transitions can work with virtually any flooring type; however, different transition strips lend themselves better to specific flooring types. For instance, if you are bridging the gap between a taller floor, like carpet, to a shorter floor, like hardwood, then you will want a transition strip with a slight slope to bridge the height difference. These transition strips are called reducer molding. On the other hand, if you are bridging two floors of the same height, you can use flat transition strips, such as T-strips and seam binders.</p></div>

Q: Can you stretch carpet with furniture on it?

• <div><p>You can get away with stretching the carpet with some remaining items of furniture, so long as you have ready access to the parts of the carpet that require maintenance and you are not stretching through the furniture, as this leads to tears and fraying. Try to remove at least 50% of the furniture if you can&rsquo;t remove it all.</p></div>

Q: Can I put my old carpet out on my regular garbage day?

• <div><p>Most cities accept old carpet as bulk trash, typically without any nails or glue on the base of the carpet. You may be required to request a specific pickup and wrap the carpet into specific bags. You can also visit your local recycling center and pay a small fee to have the carpet materials recovered. </p></div>

Do not work with LESA. I am the first to write a positive review and try my best to avoid negative, but LESA's negligence has cost my family $26,000 in unexpected repairs after our home purchase. Choose a different inspector. First, our entire basement ceiling/floor system was contaminated...

RUN the other way! Mitch was originally hired for various home repairs and quoted me $1625. Every time he came it turned into something different and a bigger job that needed more money up front. When he put in an outside spigot, he said I needed a new hot water heater and I should pay up front,...
