Frequently Asked Questions About Carpet & Area Rug Installation​

1. How long will my carpet installation take?

Most rooms can be completed in just a few hours, while larger projects or multiple rooms may take a day or two. Our team handles every step efficiently — from removing old carpet to the final touches — so you can enjoy your new floors as quickly as possible.

2. Can I install carpet myself, or should I hire a professional?

While DIY carpet installation is possible for small rugs, professional installation ensures durability and a flawless finish, especially for wall-to-wall carpets. Our experts handle padding, seams, and stretching to keep your carpet looking great for years.

3. What’s included in your carpet installation service?

We take care of it all: moving furniture, removing old flooring, preparing the subfloor, precise installation, and thorough cleanup. No surprises — just beautiful, ready-to-use floors.

4. When can I walk on my new carpet?

Light use is usually okay immediately, but we recommend waiting 24–48 hours before heavy traffic or moving furniture back in, allowing seams and padding to settle perfectly.

5. Will seams in my carpet be noticeable?

Seams are a natural part of carpet installation, but we strategically place and secure them to minimize visibility. With expert installation, they blend seamlessly into your design.

6. Which carpet types work best for high-traffic areas?

For hallways, stairs, or busy family rooms, we recommend dense, low-pile, or loop-style carpets. They resist wear and maintain their appearance even under heavy daily use.

7. What kind of padding should I choose?

Padding isn’t just about comfort — it extends carpet life and improves insulation. Our team can recommend pads suited for your Illinois climate, balancing warmth, durability, and comfort.

8. Will carpet help keep my home warmer in winter?

Absolutely! Carpet adds natural insulation, keeping rooms cozy during Lake County winters. It also reduces noise and adds a soft, welcoming surface for your family and guests.

9. Can you make custom area rugs or stair runners from your carpet?

Yes! Transform any carpet you love into a custom rug or stair runner that perfectly fits your space and style. Our specialists guide you through design, size, and pattern options for a truly unique look.

10. How do I keep my carpet looking its best?

Vacuum regularly, treat stains promptly, and schedule occasional deep cleaning. With proper care, your carpet will retain its color, texture, and comfort for years to come.

11. What if my carpet wrinkles or buckles over time?

Improper stretching or padding can cause issues, but our professional installations are done to CRI standards. If any problems arise, we’ll address them to ensure your carpet stays smooth and safe.

12. Is carpet safe for indoor air quality?

Modern carpets meet low-VOC standards and are safe for homes and businesses. Good ventilation during and after installation helps minimize any temporary “new carpet” odor.

13. What’s included in the cost of carpet installation?

Your quote covers materials, padding, professional installation, tear-out of old carpet, cleanup, and often furniture moving. We provide transparent pricing, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

14. How do I know your team is qualified?

We’re licensed, insured, and experienced, following industry standards for every installation. Our Lake County team has handled hundreds of local homes and businesses, delivering results that last.

15. How does the Illinois climate affect carpet?

Northern Illinois winters can be harsh, and heavy snow or salt can affect floors. Choosing durable, stain-resistant carpet with proper padding ensures your floors look great year-round, even in high-traffic areas.
