"Through Angi, I requested a quote to change the carpets on my 3rd level to hardwood floors. Kelvin responded quickly and gave me an estimate to change all of the hardwood from carpet and added some work to the kitchen floor. The day of the project he said I would need to pay more money to change all the floors to hardwood on the 3rd level and charged me $500 for the work even though it was already included in the work scope. He left the floors behind the stove and refrigerator in the kitchen a complete mess and didn’t inform me that holes were left in the floor. The floor looked ten times before the work that was done leaving me wondering about the qualifications of his staff because what professional would do that and purposely hid bad work behind the appliances."

"This is the second time 858 Flooring completed work for me. I sadly had tile removal to address a water issue, and needed the tile replaced (they had previously installed the tile perfectly). We also decided to install a tile backsplash while they were there. Grant provided an estimate within a few days of contact and started work within two weeks.

"Mr Zavala was hired to replace the existing heart pine flooring with a new subfloor and hardwood flooring. After a couple of weeks he still had not finished removing the old flooring. After applying some pressure to get the job, he proceeded to install the subfloor on the second floor in a shoddy manner, leaving us with an uneven subfloor. He also installed the subfloor with improper nails (smooth shank) when he should have used screws or at least ring shank. In addition, there were spots where he removed the old flooring (which functions as a subfloor in old houses) underneath a partition wall, causing the partition wall to sag. At that point we lost confidence in him and fired him. Unfortunately, we had paid him half the money at the start of the job and he only completed about 1/4 of it (badly). We subsequently got estimates from other contractors who told us he had installed the subfloor incorrectly, cutting the panels too small and not using the built in grooves to align the panels. Furthermore, they informed us that it is standard professional practice to inform the owner of the value of their existing flooring, which was long-leaf heart pine. We should have been compensated for this removed material which has considerable salvage value. So it it clear that he was taking his sweet time to remove the old heart pine so that he could maximize its value to him. Furthermore, a $1000 bicycle went missing while he was working in the house, which I suspect was taken by one of his workers. Needless to say, hire this guy at your own risk."

Carpet installations FAQs

Carpet padding is essential for extending your carpet’s lifespan. It acts as a protective barrier between your carpet and the subfloor, reducing friction and preventing premature wear. It also enhances underfoot comfort by absorbing impact and noise while protecting floorboards from damage. If you’re installing new carpets, investing in a quality pad improves comfort, durability, and performance.

How much carpet padding you need depends on the size of the room you're carpeting. Measure the length and width of the room and multiply those figures to get the square footage. Then, use the square footage to determine how much carpet pad you need to cover the room. It's a good idea to budget for 10% more overage than your calculations in case of mishaps during the installation.

The lifespan of carpet padding depends on the material used and the level of foot traffic it endures. Flat rubber padding can last for up to 20 years, while prime foam often needs to be replaced in less than five years. Worn padding affects your carpet’s comfort and support, so regular inspections help determine when it’s time for an upgrade.

You should replace your carpet padding when it no longer provides adequate support. Signs that it's time for a replacement include loss of springiness, visible lumps or dips, and a crinkly sound underfoot. Replacing the padding promptly preserves both comfort and the appearance of your carpet, helping to extend its lifespan and prevent premature wear.
