"Jeremy, Mark, and Pono did a fabulous job with my carpet cleaning. Customer service was top notch and service was prompt and efficient. The best price in town for my 2600 sqft wall-to-wall carpet was unmatched. My carpet has been revitalized. Thank you Team Olsen. 5 Stars."

"Vasiliy is a true craftsman. He reviewed my sketches and talked with me about possibilities, then made suggestions as the job progressed and we saw what else could be included. His work is excellent and he got the drainage slope perfect in our walk-in shower, even suggesting a better drain for our application than we originally purchased. Martin has quoted carpet purchase and installation for commercial projects for our business as well, and Alaina has been responsive in the shop to our every need."

"Tobias and Don restretched my fairly new carpet. Three years previous install by Empire, carpet rolled in every room. It was a $10,000. Flooring job but Empire would not stand behind install. They said no install warranty after 1 yr. Tobias and Don came and gave me a bid the job. They stayed in communication with us. They were on time and friendly. Job looks good. I would hire them again."

"We could not have been happier with work done by Ruben, Chris, and their whole crew. After meeting with over ten contractors, we chose All Floor Solutions to replace our baseboards and install new carpet throughout our 2nd floor. We chose All Floor Solutions because we trusted that Ruben and crew would do great work, and we felt their estimate was fairly priced for the project. Ruben was on site everyday actively managing the project to ensure its on time conclusion. Chris, Ruben Sr and the whole crew was very professional, courteous, and did exceptionably good work. With so many contractors to choose from, it can sometimes be hard to know which one you can actually trust to do great work and be fairly priced. Ruben and All Floor Solutions were not the cheapest we interviewed nor the most expensive, but their estimate was fair. And there weren’t any “surprise” charges at the end either - the price we’d agreed upon at the beginning was the price we paid at the end. I"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

No, thick carpet padding isn’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. 

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’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.

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.

When choosing whether to install carpet in your home, consider the pros and cons of this change:

Pros

  • More affordable than laminate flooring

  • Gives the room a warmer feel

  • Softer on feet

  • Wide variety of textures and colors

  • Hides dirt easily

  • Faster and easier to install

Cons

  • Shows wear and tear more quickly than laminate flooring

  • Shows stains

  • Soaks up liquids

  • May not work well in some areas, such as a bathroom

  • Less durable than laminate flooring

  • Susceptible to water damage, mold, and mildew

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.

Yes, carpet tiles are easy to install—even if you don’t have much DIY experience. In fact, the simple installation process is one of the main reasons that people choose carpet tiles over traditional carpet. Since carpet tiles come in individual squares, they aren’t as heavy or awkward to install as regular carpet. Plus, you don’t need specialized equipment (like knee kickers or carpet stretchers) when installing carpet tiles.
