"Keystone Carpet did a fantastic job from original help selecting new flooring, carpet and hardwood, to colors and styles. But the best thing about Keystone Carpets is the installation, they are the best at installation, and that is the primary difference! Keystone installation is the absolute best you will find."

"Dan was awesome ð working on our carpet install. I am a bit surprise that he was a one man show since moving carpet and furniture is hard for one person. We did make it a team effort helping him with moving furniture. Floorcoverings NW was a great in getting our carpet installed in a timely manner. Thank you."

"Jeff and his crew always do a great job ! They have installed all our floor coverings (carpet, hardwood, and linoleum) and we are always super happy. We’ve worked with this company on many different projects over the last 15 years and we won’t go anywhere else ! Highly recommend !"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Decent carpet will last around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You’ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.

A transition piece between carpet stairs and wood flooring isn't always necessary. A transition piece separates two types of flooring in between rooms and areas, like carpet and vinyl. Because the carpet on the stairs tucks into the seam, you can’t see the fringes, and there is no need to hide anything. However, you can use a stair cap if your stairs have a nose.

When installing carpeting on your steps, start at the top and work your way to the bottom. That way, you can easily control the carpet and create a better seal. This approach prevents the carpet from bunching up or creating wrinkles as you work. You’ll have better leverage over it as gravity helps guide it down each step.

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.

If you have a dark carpet and are going for a lighter look, you should replace it, rather than dyeing, since you can only go darker with dye. If your stains are too heavy to mask with carpet dye or the carpet is more than 10 years old, you should also consider replacing it.
