Carpet in Beaverton, OR

Yes, and it costs nothing to check — pull back a corner in a closet. In Beaverton mid-century housing there is often original hardwood underneath, and if it is sound, refinishing may be the better result for less money than a new floor. We will tell you honestly which way we would go, including when the answer is that the old floor is not worth saving.

Always, and in the low-lying parts of Beaverton it matters. The city grew on ground that was wetland, and moisture coming up through a slab or crawlspace will destroy a floating floor no matter what it cost. We test, and if a vapour barrier or a different product is the answer, we say so before you spend anything.

Most houses are a single day, and a couple of bedrooms is a morning. The bigger variable is the material: carpet is ordered in for your job, so the lead time between signing the quote and the install day is usually a week or two rather than the install itself being slow. We give you both dates up front.

Yes, for normal household furniture. We ask that you clear the small and breakable things — lamps, electronics, the contents of wardrobes and closets — and we handle beds, sofas and dressers. If there is a piano or something similar, tell us at the estimate so we can plan for it rather than meet it on the day.

Mostly density and fiber. A higher grade generally means more fiber packed into the same area and a tighter twist, which is what resists crushing in the traffic lanes. Color and softness are choices; density is durability. We will show you the difference on samples side by side rather than asking you to trust a number on a label.

Yes. Ripples usually mean the carpet was kicked in rather than power-stretched, and it can generally be lifted, re-stretched and re-trimmed without replacing it. We do take that work on. It is worth saying plainly that re-stretching is not our main business, so if you are weighing a re-stretch against a replacement we will give you an honest read on which is the better use of your money.
