Carpet defines warmth and softness in a home. It’s the ideal way to create a cozy, quiet environment. Shopping for carpet, though, means roll after roll of great choices. And choosing a carpet installation company can sometimes be a hassle as well. How will you choose one that’s right for your home? Ask these questions first.

How Much Can I Afford to Spend?

Unlike many other flooring choices on the market today, you can choose carpeting that fits your budget. Look carefully at your numbers before you ever start shopping, though, because it’s hard to get a choice out of your head when you’ve touched it and decided it has to go in your bedroom!

How Much Padding Do I Need?

The level of padding for your carpeting affects durability and even the temperature of the floor. While different rooms of the home need different levels of padding, it’s a good idea to at least look into the manufacturer’s recommendations before you choose a padding level that’s right for your home.

How Much Experience Does My Carpeting Installation Company Have?

You can shop for carpet in lots of places these days, but where you get it really does matter. Good carpeting installation companies will not only help you choose the right floor, but will also do everything possible to ensure durability.

What Maintenance Tasks Are Involved?

Some carpets require very little maintenance. Others require constant vacuuming and cleaning. Look carefully into just how easy a given choice is to clean before you decide its right for your child’s room or the game room in your home.

What Does The Price Include?

Many are shocked to find the $2.32 per square foot they were initially quoted doesn’t include the padding they wanted, installation, or the lifetime warranty. Look beyond that sticker to find out exactly what comes with the price and what your total costs might shape up to be in the end.

Beautiful carpet is possible, but you’ll certainly want to do a bit of research before you buy.
