Question 2

What carpet type is best for pets in Delaware?

Accepted Answer

For homes with pets in Delaware, solution-dyed nylon or triexta (PET) carpet is recommended. These fibers resist stains, repel odors, and bounce back from compression. Berber and low-pile styles are more practical than plush carpet for pet owners because they resist snagging and are easier to clean.

Question 3

How long does carpet installation take?

Accepted Answer

Carpet installation in Georgetown is typically completed in 1 day for up to 1,000 sq ft. The process includes removing old carpet, prepping the subfloor, installing tack strips and padding, stretching, and seaming the new carpet. Furniture should be removed beforehand.

Question 4

How often should carpet be replaced?

Accepted Answer

Quality carpet lasts 10–15 years with proper maintenance. Signs it's time to replace: persistent odors, matting that won't fluff back up, tears or buckling, permanent stains, or allergy flare-ups. High-traffic areas may need replacement every 7–10 years.
