Carpet Flooring
Carpet Floor Installation
Carpet is known for giving a comforting presence in residential spaces. Carpet is inviting, comfortable, and adds warmth to a space, visually and in terms of insulation. Carpet is also beneficial because it helps reduce noise and can be a safer option for kids or the elderly, as it is a nonslip surface. Carpet comes in many colors, textures, patterns and styles, allowing for customization and personalization to match your look and style preferences. We offer commercial carpeting installation as well if you are looking to install commercial carpet to your new business or industrial property.
Types of Carpet Flooring
There are several popular types of carpet flooring that each have different properties. Nylon is one of the most common and durable carpet fibers. It is more resistant to wear and tear, making it suitable for high traffic areas. Polyester is another common option. Polyester is known for its soft texture and variety of color options. Polyester is less durable than nylon, but tends to be more affordable and retain its color well. Another common carpet material is olefin, also known as polypropylene. Olefin is resistant to moisture, mold and mildew, making it a nice choice for both indoor and outdoor spaces that are prone to water exposure or spills. Many carpets come as a blend of various materials to achieve specific characteristics. Some of our more popular carpet styles offered are a blend of nylon and polyester, which makes a durable option that has a soft and inviting texture.
Our Process
Whether you are installing carpet in a brand new home, upgrading your current flooring, opening a business space, or finishing your basement, we provide the area’s top rated carpet installation services. Hiring experienced professionals is important for a proper look and result.
Our process starts with a site visit and consultation. We are able to take measurements and discuss your goals and style preferences. We provide estimates free of charge, no obligations whatsoever.
We prepare the subfloor to ensure it is clean, level and ready for carpet application. We are able to make any necessary subfloor repairs to ensure a smooth and stable base for the carpet.
We use special tools to cut and install the carpet. It must be cut precisely to fit the dimensions of your space. We stretch and secure the carpet in place, ensuring an even and tight fit. We then seam the carpet together to ensure everything blends together seamlessly. We then secure the edges by installing tack strips along the edges of the room, securing the carpet in place. We then trim excess carpet, tuck the edges in neatly, and finish with adding your baseboard trim if needed.
Caring for Carpet Flooring: Tips and Tricks
It is important to take care of your carpet if you want to preserve its appearance, comfort and longevity. Proper care helps prevent wear, damage, and stains, making sure your carpet stays looking fresh for years.
Regular vacuuming: high traffic areas of your home or space should be vacuumed 2-3 times per week to remove debris, dust and dirt. Less frequently visited areas can be vacuumed once a week. It is important to use a vacuum with a high-quality air filter to ensure dust and allergen removal from your carpets.
Prompt stain removal: blot stains, don’t rub them. Use a clean white cloth or paper towel to promptly blot the stain, otherwise it will spread. You want to move quickly to prevent it from settling into the carpet fibers.
Hire professional carpet cleaners: routine professional cleaning is a key way to maximize the longevity of your carpets. Every 12-18 months is recommended. Professional services are able to provide hot water and steam methods for a deep and thorough clean.
Remove shoes indoors:
encourage your family or people coming into your home to remove shoes. This helps minimize the amount of dust, dirt and other contaminants brought in.
