Carpet flooring Installation from American Carpet One in Honolulu, HI

Some important carpet installation FAQ answers

At American Carpet One, we know your floors are of the utmost importance to you. If you’re ready for carpet flooring installation, we also know you have a lot of questions, as most homeowners do. Here are some answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about these materials.


How long will the carpet installation take?

The answer to this question varies. It depends on several factors including the size of the room, whether you have odd shapes to work around, and if we have to install around hearths or on staircases. Other factors can include moving furniture, taking up old flooring, and how many people are on your installation team. For a very specific answer, speak with the professionals at our carpet flooring store.

Is carpet padding really necessary?

We understand that many homeowners try to save a bit on the budget by leaving out the underpadding, but we strongly suggest that you don’t do that. This padding not only acts as another layer of insulation and noise reduction, but it’s extremely important for the longevity of your carpet floors. For instance, without it, your floors can experience excessive wear and balding and can decrease the overall lifespan of your floors.

Can I install my carpet flooring?

As a trustworthy retailer of carpet flooring in Honolulu, we strongly advise against DIY carpet installation unless you have prior experience as a carpet installer. In addition to the requirement of a great deal of experience, you’ll need special tools that are not only expensive, but that cannot be used for anything other than carpet installation. If you purchase them, you will have already spent more than it would have cost to hire the professional installation team. So, we advise the latter. You won’t regret it.
