Carpet pros and cons<\/strong> are not a mystery for a company that has been in the flooring business for over 11 years, like The Carpet Guys. There are several applications that may not warrant carpet and some that carpet is best for.\u00a0 Let The Carpet Guys help you decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Pros of Carpet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of pros to having carpet, and very few cons. That’s one reason we decided to go with the name The Carpet Guys. Being a provider of all things carpet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s inexpensive \u2013 One of the best options for price in flooring is carpet.  Price per square foot, carpet is lower than all other flooring options.  If you\u2019re looking for a square foot calculator, click here<\/a>. This will help give you an idea of how much it will cost to carpet your room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s softer and quieter \u2013 Hard surface flooring is just that\u2026hard.  Carpet, even a tightly woven Berber, is still going to be softer underfoot than hardwood or laminate. If you include a pad upgrade like The Carpet Guy’s pink memory foam, it\u2019s even softer. The quiet can be best portrayed by all libraries\u2026carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s faster to install \u2013 When installing any roll product like carpet or sheet vinyl, the roll is precut by the company per the measurements of the customer\u2019s home.  It is then laid out by the installers and trimmed to fit the room.  The hardest part of the installation is deciding where to put the seams in a room if it is larger than 11.5 feet. The best installers can do this quickly and \u201cseamlessly\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It hides dirt \u2013 One of the best things about carpet is that it hides dirt for those unexpected visitors. If choosing a flecked carpet, the only way you will know it\u2019s dirty is when you empty the vacuum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"carpet<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Cons of Carpet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It shows wear and tear \u2013 Frequently, we are asked to replace the carpet in high traffic areas of people’s homes because the carpet shows wear and tear.  Each footfall can compress the fibers and if the flooring is not properly cared for, it won\u2019t last forever.  See the next point for proper carpet maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It needs maintenance \u2013 In order to maintain your carpet’s valuable warranty, you will need to vacuum once a week with an approved machine by the Carpet and Rug Institute.  They are the leaders in all things carpet.  Check out their maintenance and cleaning page here<\/a>. It\u2019s also important to have the carpet professionally cleaned every 12-18 months and maintain your receipt.  By maintaining your flooring with the proper care, its beauty will last longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It needs to be replaced periodically \u2013 This, unfortunately, applies to all flooring types and styles.  Nothing lasts forever.  Whether your carpet is worn, or you just want an upgrade, The Carpet Guys can fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the pros outweigh the cons, schedule a Free In-Home Estimate with one of our complimentary Design Consultants by clicking here<\/a>.  We can bring our showroom of samples to your home so you can decide which carpet would look best in your home and next to your furniture.  If you feel the cons are weightier, then make sure to call 855-4-MY-GUYS (855-469-4897) and schedule an appointment with a Design Consultant that can give you some other options like laminate, hardwood, luxury vinyl, or sheet vinyl.  All options that The Carpet Guys can install.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
