Carpet in West Linn, OR

Yes — stairs and trim are one of our seven services, and in a hillside town like West Linn they come up on most jobs. Treads, risers, nosings and the transition at each landing get quoted as their own line, so you can see what that part of the job actually costs.

Not necessarily, but it should be a decision rather than an accident. In a split-level or daylight-basement home you see two levels at once from the stairs, so color and plank direction want planning together. Carpet on the stairs with hard flooring above and below is a common and good-looking answer, and it is quieter.

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.
