What rooms should not have carpet?

• <div><p>Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it’s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.</p></div>

Q: Why do you start flooring in the middle?

• <div><p>Many DIYers and pros start installing flooring in the middle of a room to ensure a balanced, symmetrical layout, especially when using tiles or planks. This process is particularly helpful in odd-shaped rooms because it allows you to create a centerline from which to work. Beginning in the center will enable you to work toward the edges so the final layout feels intentional and centered, even if the walls aren&rsquo;t perfectly square. </p></div>

Q: Should I remove existing baseboards before installing new carpet?

• <div><p>Even if you&rsquo;re just replacing your carpet and not your baseboards, experts recommend removing existing baseboards before installing new carpet. This allows for a clean and seamless installation without the risk of damaging the baseboards or the carpet. Additionally, removing the baseboards gives you the opportunity to stain or repaint them as well as inspect and repair any underlying issues with the walls or flooring.</p></div>

Q: What is the process for installing carpet in a home?

• <div><p>Carpet installation typically starts with removing the old flooring, preparing the subfloor, laying underpadding for cushioning, and securing the new carpet with tack strips, making precise cuts to fit room dimensions.</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>

The folks at Skaug Brothers were great. I really felt like I was their only customer even though I wasn't. I had water damage and improper install for my floor and shower and they came in, gave a fair estimate, used quality materials and service providers. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

George Martinez worked us into his full schedule, was up front about cost, punctual, professional, did an excellent job, guaranteed his work, and even taught my kids how to stretch carpet. We will hire him again whenever we need work on our carpets!

They made a mistake on the billing, but we caught it they were eager to straighten it out. I believe it was an honest mistake. We didn't compare prices but with one other company.

They gave us an estimate for getting the carpet in all the rooms of our house stretched. They did a very thorough job and the carpet looks and feels much better. They underestimated the amount of time it would take to do the job, probably because they ran into some issues with all the seams in...
