FAQs for carpet installation projects in West-Farmington, ME

The best outdoor carpet material is synthetic material like polypropylene or olefin. Polyester and nylon are also options. It should be water-resistant, mold-resistant, and durable. Avoid jute, as it can get moldy over time, leading to both an unsightly appearance and potential health hazards for your pets and kids. It’s well worth spending slightly more early on than replacing jute down the road. 

Peel and stick carpet tiles run from $1 to $5 per square foot, but they’re likely the cheapest option since they are fairly easy to DIY install. Roll carpet costs as little as $0.30 per square foot, but chances are you’ll pay an additional $2 per square foot for installation.

To get the cheapest price, opt for carpet without patterns or bright colors. Be sure to talk to a pro to see if they can get you a lower price on certain products.

Most outdoor carpet is waterproof or water-resistant. It can withstand more wear and tear than regular indoor types—but don’t rely on your outdoor carpet to withstand heavy conditions. If you’re installing outdoor carpet in a very high moisture area or if your region receives a lot of rainfall, discuss with a pro about adding additional drainage to keep potential mold under control.

Outdoor carpet padding costs between $0.75 and $1.30. Mesh padding can help with drainage when needed, but incorrect padding causes mildew problems because it traps moisture between the carpet and the surface underneath. Consult with a pro to see what will work best in your space.

You can use indoor-outdoor carpeting on a boat. Also called marine carpet, get manufacturer approval for this use before installing. This type of flooring frequently has rubber backing to help withstand excess water exposure. Similar to the outdoor carpet you’d use for your home, the same care and maintenance apply to ensure it doesn’t trap moisture and cause damage to the boat.
