Denver Carpet InstallationIf you are planning on having carpet installed in your house or doing it yourself, there are a few obvious measurements and details, then there are the less obvious things to know.

Less obvious carpet installation details

  • Is your floor squeaky? This can affect your sanity in the years to come. Once your carpet is up, you’re going to want to check for squeaks in your subfloor. Note: we do this for free when we install Denver carpet.
  • Make sure to vacuum and/or mop & dry (depending on the subfloor) to remove dust. Carpet can collect years of dust that settles below the carpet and carpet pad. When your carpet is pulled up, it is a rare opportunity to remove that dust. This can help with asthma, removing smells, and general cleanliness.
  • Paint the baseboard before putting it back. When you replace carpet, you’ll often encounter paint that is at the previous carpet level. Your new carpet won’t be the same height. Take the time to sand and paint your baseboards and you’ll be so much happier with the finished product.
  • If you get headaches after replacing your carpet, stay somewhere else for a few days and leave the windows cracked. New petroleum-based carpet can off-gas.

So when you are considering whether to hire professional Denver carpet installation or do it yourself, there are some tips to help you along the way.

Carpet Installation Tips – Installing Carpet Tiles

Why are carpet tiles such a hit in Denver? Seasonal damage control!

Carpet tiles are a big hit in Denver and around the country. One of the reasons that carpet tiles (or sometimes called “carpet squares”) are such a hit is because if you stain or damage your carpet, it’s simple to remove that one tile and replace it with a clean one. In Denver, where can snow six months of the year, it’s important to have a carpet that can handle that amount of debris.

Before you start laying carpet tiles, draw your pattern on graph paper. If you’re interested, also draw the arrows that the tiles will be facing. This will give you a great guide that you can work off of, which is very helpful on complicated patterns!

A Down Economy Means Lower Denver Carpet Prices

Less carpet sold means better prices for carpet.

While Shaw Industries (of Shaw Carpet brand) plans layoffs and housing numbers continue to be down, the number of impacts from the recession continue to pile up.

One thing that has been piling up as well are discounts in carpet. Discounted carpet is a side effect of the over-supply of carpet and flooring options as the construction industry has been slow to rebound from the housing crisis since 2008.

Don’t confuse discounted carpet with cheap carpet. The carpet that’s available is from brands like Shaw, Mohawk, Stainmaster – all the best brands in the industry. Don’t settle for cheap carpet brands.

Feel free to negotiate – it’s a Denver carpet buyer’s market!

Denver prices for carpet are at historic lows, even with the prices of oil and cotton rising. Now is a great time not only to get good retail prices, but carpet buyers have more sway to set their desired prices and see who matches them.

If you’re considering carpet tiles or replacing existing carpet, now is the perfect time to get in touch with a Denver carpet dealer. Don’t wait until the housing market gets stronger – it will already be too late to get some of these great deals.

Discount Carpet – What to know about Denver carpet “secrets”

Our low prices are no secret: we sell carpet wholesale, not irregular

Denver CarpetOne of the major players in the Denver discount carpet market is Sloan’s Carpet Secret. Their deal is that they sell consumers “irregulars;” carpet that has not been approved by the manufacturer for general sale.
