Carpet Installation FAQ for Madison Homeowners

How often should Madison homeowners get carpet installation?
Given Madison's cold winters averaging 20°f with 51 inches of annual snowfall, most homeowners benefit from carpet installation at least once a year. Heavy snow removal from roofs and lakefront properties (Nov–March) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Madison most need carpet installation?
Craftsman and bungalow homes near the UW campus and Victorian homes in Mansion Hill and Orton Park are the most common home types in Madison and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How long does carpet installation take?
A typical 3-bedroom home can have all bedrooms carpeted in a single day. Furniture needs to be moved out of rooms before installation.
How long does new carpet last?
Quality carpet lasts 10–15 years with proper maintenance. Nylon is the most durable fiber. Polyester is softer and stain-resistant. Wool is luxurious but expensive.
What carpet padding should I choose?
For most residential applications, 7/16 inch rebond foam with 6 lb density is the standard. Thicker, denser padding feels better underfoot and extends carpet life. Avoid padding over 7/16 inch under Berber or loop pile.
Can carpet be installed over existing hardwood?
Yes, though many homeowners choose to preserve hardwood rather than cover it. If doing so, be aware that removing carpet and padding later can leave tack strip holes in the hardwood perimeter.
