Carpet Installation for Auburn Homes

In an Auburn, Maine home, carpet belongs in the rooms where you slow down: bedrooms, family rooms and the stairs between them. Through a long heating season, it keeps floors warm underfoot and the house a little quieter.

Styles run from stain-resistant carpet that stands up to a busy family room to softer, plusher carpet for bedrooms, in a wide range of colors and textures.

Color and texture are much easier to judge at home than on a store swatch. Floor Coverings International® brings the Mobile Flooring Showroom® to your door, so you can see samples in your own light, next to your own furniture, while your Design Associate talks you through what matters in a Maine home.

Local Considerations

Winter is hard on carpet near the door. Sand and salt come in on boots for months, so walk-off mats at every entry and regular vacuuming do the most to keep carpet looking its best. In busy rooms, cut-and-loop and patterned styles also hide soil well.

Basements are common in Maine homes, and carpet can make a finished lower level warmer and more comfortable. On a slab, the pad matters as much as the carpet, so ask about pads with a moisture barrier. Before the crew arrives, we agree with you on the pad, seam placement and how the stairs will be finished.

A few more things worth asking about:

• Fiber. Nylon is known for resilience in high-traffic rooms, and polyester for softness in bedrooms. Compare them with the pad you’ll use, since the pad changes how carpet feels.
• Stairs. Stairs see the hardest wear. Loop pile is a common choice there, as wall-to-wall carpet or a runner.
• Allergies and sensitivities. Tell us about anyone in the home with sensitivities, since that can change which fibers and cleaning routines suit you best.
