Carpet Flooring

Most carpets last 5-15 years, although the average lifespan of carpet varies based on several factors, including:  

• Foot traffic – Carpets in high-traffic areas of the home, like the entryway or hallway, will wear more quickly.
• Quality – Premium, high-density carpets will last longer than bargain carpets and flooring.
• Pets – Pets increase the need for frequent cleaning by creating stains and odors.
• Installation – Properly installed carpet is less likely to wrinkle, crease, or curl.
• Climate – Carpets exposed to direct sunlight may fade faster than those in cloudier climates, while regions with high humidity pose a moisture risk.

Carpeting is sold per square foot, typically from $1 to $6. Carpet padding is usually sold separately and may cost between $0.50 and $2 per square foot. During your in-home consultation, your Design Associate will provide a detailed estimate based on your choice of carpet, the square footage required, and carpet removal and installation costs, if applicable. It’s all a part of our customer-oriented process!

Hypoallergenic carpet is designed to reduce the presence of allergens in your home, protecting those with respiratory conditions like asthma or allergies. It uses materials like nylon and polyester that are resistant to mold, mildew, and dust.

Carpet made of materials with reduced volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are commonly found in glues, fabrics, and other manufactured materials, are considered low VOC. Low VOC carpeting reduces off-gassing or the emission of chemicals. Many hypoallergenic carpets are also low VOC.
