Carpet Installation

Hard surface has taken over most of the house, and carpet has become a deliberate choice for the rooms where it genuinely wins: bedrooms you walk into barefoot, bonus rooms over a garage, stairs you don't want to hear, and basements that need to feel warmer than they are.

Scope

What carpet installation includes

Removal, roll-up and disposal of old carpet and pad, including tack strip if damaged
Subfloor inspection, squeak fastening and staple cleanup before new pad goes down
Pad selection by density and thickness for the room's traffic, not just by price
New tack strip at the correct gap from the wall for the carpet's thickness
Seam placement planned away from doorways and primary sightlines
Heat-seamed and sealed seams, then power-stretched wall to wall
Stair installation, waterfall or cap-and-band, wrapped and fastened per tread
Transitions to adjacent hard-surface flooring and cleanup of the work area

Our approach

Installation note: power stretching, not kick-and-staple

The ripples you see in five-year-old carpet almost always mean it was installed with a knee kicker alone. We use a power stretcher across the full run of every room, which puts real tension on the backing and keeps it flat for the life of the carpet. It takes longer and it's the reason our carpet doesn't need re-stretching later.

1Measure and plan seam layout to minimize waste and keep seams out of traffic paths
2Remove old carpet and pad, then prep and fasten the subfloor
3Install or repair tack strip and lay pad, staggered and stapled
4Roll out, cut, heat-seam and seal, then power-stretch wall to wall
5Trim at walls, finish stairs and transitions, and vacuum the space

Why STRYDE

Why homeowners still choose carpet

It's the only floor that solves noise

A bonus room over a garage or a second-floor playroom transmits every footstep through hard surface. Carpet with a good pad is the single most effective thing you can do about impact noise short of opening the ceiling below.

Bedrooms are a barefoot room

The argument for carpet has narrowed to comfort, and in bedrooms comfort is the whole point. Clients who put LVP through the entire house frequently tell us the bedrooms are the one decision they'd take back.

It covers a lot of square footage cheaply

For a finished basement or a large bonus room, carpet and pad remain the lowest cost per square foot to get a finished, warm-feeling space — and it's the fastest install of any material we offer.

Questions

FAQs about this service

Does the carpet pad really matter that much?

More than the carpet does, in terms of how long it lasts. Pad density is what stops the fibers from crushing under foot traffic. An 8-pound, 7/16-inch rebond pad under a mid-grade carpet will outlive a premium carpet over cheap builder pad, and the upgrade typically adds only a modest amount to the total job.

Can carpet go on stairs, and does it cost more?

Yes, and yes — stairs are priced per step, not per square foot, because each tread is cut, wrapped and fastened individually. Waterfall installation is faster and less expensive; cap-and-band wraps each tread nose separately for a tailored look and costs more per step. We'll show you both before you decide.
