Carpet Types We Install

Choosing the right carpet matters for durability, comfort, and maintenance. We help Ottawa homeowners select carpet styles based on traffic levels, pets, children, moisture exposure, and budget.

Nylon Carpet

Nylon is one of the most durable carpet materials available. It performs well in high-traffic areas like hallways, stairs, and family rooms while resisting crushing and wear.

Polyester Carpet

Polyester carpet offers a softer feel and excellent stain resistance. It is a popular choice for bedrooms, basements, and lower-traffic residential spaces.

Wool Carpet

Wool carpet provides a premium natural finish with excellent insulation and comfort. It is commonly used in luxury homes and quieter spaces.

Berber Carpet

Berber carpet uses looped fibres designed for durability and heavy use. Many Ottawa homeowners choose Berber for basements, offices, and commercial environments.

Plush and Saxony Carpet

Plush and Saxony carpets provide a soft, formal appearance ideal for bedrooms and living rooms where comfort is a priority.

Frieze Carpet

Frieze carpet features twisted fibres that hide footprints and vacuum marks well, making it a practical option for active households.

Underlay and Carpet Padding Options

Proper underpadding significantly affects carpet comfort and lifespan. We install multiple underlay options depending on the project:

Standard rebond foam underpad
High-density underlay
Moisture-resistant basement underpadding
Rubber underlay for stairs and commercial areas
Sound-reduction underlay for condos and upper floors

Using the correct underlay improves insulation, reduces wear, and creates a more comfortable walking surface.

Our Carpet Installation Process

1. In-Home Measurement and Estimate

We visit your property to measure rooms, inspect subfloors, discuss carpet options, and provide accurate pricing. We also identify issues such as moisture damage, uneven flooring, or old adhesive that may affect installation.

2. Carpet Selection and Scheduling

Once carpet style and underlay are selected, we schedule installation based on project size and material availability. Most standard residential projects can be booked quickly.

3. Carpet Removal and Subfloor Preparation

Old carpet and underpadding are removed carefully. Our installers inspect the subfloor for squeaks, uneven areas, moisture concerns, staples, or adhesive residue before installation begins.

4. Underpadding Installation

New underpadding is installed and secured properly to improve carpet performance and comfort. Proper underlay preparation helps extend carpet lifespan significantly.

5. Carpet Installation and Power Stretching

Carpet is cut, fitted, and power stretched using professional equipment to eliminate wrinkles and loose areas. We pay close attention to seam placement, doorway transitions, edges, and stair fitting.

6. Final Inspection and Cleanup

Once installation is complete, we vacuum the space, inspect all seams and transitions, and ensure the carpet is securely installed throughout the property.

Typical Installation Timelines

Single room: approximately 2–4 hours
Basement installation: half day to full day
Full-home carpet installation: 1–2 days depending on layout and stairs

Carpet installation FAQs

How much does carpet installation cost in Ottawa?

Carpet installation in Ottawa typically costs $5 to $8 per square foot for standard installation. Carpet replacement, stairs, premium underlay, furniture moving, and old carpet removal can increase the total price.

How long does carpet installation take?

Most standard room installations can be completed in one day. Larger homes, stairs, basement projects, or jobs requiring carpet removal and subfloor preparation may take longer.

Do I need to remove furniture before carpet installation?

It helps if small items, electronics, breakables, and personal belongings are removed before we arrive. Furniture moving can be discussed during the quote depending on the project size.

How long before I can walk on new carpet?

You can usually walk on new carpet right after installation, but it is best to avoid dragging furniture across it and to allow adhesives or seams to settle where applicable.

What underlay do you recommend?

For most Ottawa homes, a quality 8 lb underlay is a good balance of comfort, durability, and value. Premium underlay may be recommended for bedrooms, stairs, basements, or sound reduction.

Will new carpet smell?

New carpet can have a temporary smell from manufacturing, backing, and installation materials. Ventilation usually helps it fade.

Do you install carpet in basements?

Yes. We install carpet in basements and can recommend carpet and underlay options better suited for below-grade spaces.

Yes. Old carpet removal and disposal can be included in your quote. We can also inspect the subfloor before installing the new carpet.
