Why are stairs so expensive to carpet?

• <div><p>Installing carpet on stairs involves a lot more cutting, tucking, tack strips, and time. The shape of your staircase, along with the material and construction of the carpet you’re installing, will also increase the cost. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-carpet-stairs.htm">Carpet installation on stairs will cost</a> $400 to $800 in total, but it can go as high as $2,500 for difficult staircases, such as wrap-around, upholstered, or spiral staircases.</p></div>

Q: How can I acclimate my floor faster?

• <div><p>Acclimating laminate flooring cannot be rushed. Laminate flooring needs at least 48 hours to acclimate properly to its new environment, and being patient during this time can make installation go smoother because you will not be dealing with boards that have expanded or contracted during the shipping process. You will also be less likely to damage the boards during installation.</p></div>

Q: What are the costs associated with carpet installation?

• <div><p>Carpet installation costs include carpet type (material, weave), room size, subfloor preparation, and labor costs. Getting multiple quotes provides a clearer picture of expected expenses.</p></div>

Q: Is thick carpet padding better?

• <div><p>No, thick carpet padding isn&rsquo;t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. </p><p>For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it&rsquo;s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-choose-carpet-high-traffic-areas.htm">carpet in high-traffic areas</a>.</p></div>

Q: Is stain-resistant carpet worth it?

• <div><p>Stain-resistant carpet might be worth it for your household if you have children or pets and expect spills to happen. While it may cost more than you expected upfront, you may save money in the long run if you have to replace your carpet less frequently (thanks to stains not absorbing down into the fibers). </p><p> </p></div>

Austin and Corbin were our installers and they did a fantastic job! They quickly got the old shower out and had the new one installed and the bathroom cleaned up in less than 7 hrs. We LOVE our new shower and we wouldn’t hesitate to do it again!

"Overall, the process went very well. The front office and the work teams communicated with us each step along the way. Through a back order and trying to coordinate plumbing, electrical, construction and the finishing crew things came together nicely. The work crew almost felt like family while they remodeled our kitchen. They followed up quickly after the job was completed to check on some questions we had. Our experience was very positive. Thank You."
