Carpet Installation Resources

Carpet Installation Pricing, General Cost, Durability, Best Use In Specific Areas.

Carpet Installation Cost

Carpet is much cheaper than hardwood or tile flooring, making it an excellent option for budget-conscious homeowners. Our typical carpet installation price is nearly half the cost of LVP coming in at around  $3.25 - $10.50 a square foot (materials and installation). Additionally, carpet is a relatively easy installation process for an experienced flooring contractor.

​

Carpet also offers more insulation than other types of flooring, so you get more bang for your buck when it comes to energy efficiency. With its low price tag and minimal care requirements, carpet is the perfect choice for anyone looking for an affordable replacement flooring solution that won’t break the bank.

Is Carpet Good For High Traffic Areas?

Only select quality carpet can make a decent choice for high traffic areas. It is highly durable and can withstand a lot of wear and tear, so it stands up to frequent footsteps in busy parts of your home. Additionally, carpet offers more cushioning than hardwood or tile flooring which makes it much more comfortable to walk on.

​

Carpet may not be the best choice for any first room directly from outside the home, apartment or business as it may become dirty and can wear down from shoes very quickly.

Replace Or Repair Carpet

When to Replace or Repair Carpet

Replacing your carpet can be a great option if you want to completely change the look and feel of a room. It is also the best choice if your current carpet is worn, stained or otherwise damaged beyond repair.

 

If your carpet is relatively new and in good condition, it may be possible to repair minor damage such as loose threads or small stains. In this case, a professional carpet cleaner can often restore your carpets to like-new condition at an affordable cost.

 

Whether you choose to replace or repair your carpets will depend on the extent of the damage and how badly you want to upgrade the look of the room.

DIY Carpet Installation

Replacing your carpet yourself may initially seem like a great idea, but it's often not the best choice. Carpet installation can be complicated and time-consuming, and making mistakes could lead to costly repairs down the line. DIY carpet installation requires specialized tools and materials that are not always readily available.

​

Common "first-timer" carpet installation mistakes:

​​

  • Improper subfloor preparation.

  • Improper stretching and securing - Leading to wrinkles and shifting.

  • Improper padding and underlayment placement.

  • Insufficient materials (not enough carpet for trimming, closets, thresholds etc.)

How Long Does Carpet Last?

Generally, carpets can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years depending on its quality and maintenance. High-quality carpets installed in areas with low foot traffic can last 15 years or more. However, carpets in high traffic areas such as entryways and hallways may need to be replaced after only 5-7 years. Regular maintenance is key to getting the maximum lifespan out of your carpet, including vacuuming regularly and having it professionally cleaned every 1-2 years.

Carpet vs. LVP vs. Tile

Choosing the right flooring for your home is an important decision. It's important to consider factors like cost, maintenance, noise level and durability when deciding which type of covering is best for you.

 

Carpet is a popular choice due to its comfort and affordability, although it can require more frequent cleaning compared to other options.

 

Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) provides the look of hardwoods or stone with added benefits such as waterproof protection and easy installation.

 

Tile offers long-term durability but may be more expensive in the short-term due to the labor required for its installation.

 

Ultimately, there is no "right" answer when it comes to selecting the perfect flooring option - it all depends on your individual needs and preferences.
