Carpet Installation in Kawartha Lakes

Looking for new carpet in the Kawartha Lakes area? You need something that feels good but also holds up to foot traffic. We specialize in installing durable carpets that are meant for everyday living, from busy family rooms to quiet bedrooms. Our whole focus is on doing the job right so you don't have to think about it again for years. We help you pick the right material for your space and install it correctly, simple as that.

Our Approach to Carpet Installation

Getting new carpet shouldn't be complicated. We keep our process straightforward and focused on quality. It starts with an accurate measurement of your space. We then handle the removal and disposal of your old flooring if needed. Before any new carpet goes down, we inspect the subfloor. A solid, level subfloor is critical for a lasting installation; we'll fix any minor issues we find to prevent problems down the road.

Next is the underpad. We only use high-density padding that provides proper support and extends the life of your carpet. It's the foundation of the whole job. Finally, we install the carpet itself. We use power stretchers, not just knee kickers, to ensure the carpet is drum-tight. This prevents ripples and buckling later on. Seams are placed thoughtfully, away from high-traffic paths where possible, and sealed correctly so they don't fray or separate.

Choosing the Right Material

The type of carpet you choose matters. We'll give you the straight goods on what works best. Nylon is a workhorse; it's durable, resilient, and great for stairs and hallways. Polyester is stain-resistant and soft, making it a good fit for bedrooms. For basements, we often look at olefin (polypropylene) because it's resistant to moisture and mildew. It’s not as tough as nylon, but it serves a specific purpose.

We don't get caught up in brand names. We focus on the carpet's construction: the fibre type, the pile density, and the twist level. A dense, tightly twisted carpet will perform better and look good for longer than a loose, shaggy one, especially in a busy home. We'll explain the practical differences so you can make a choice that makes sense for your budget and your lifestyle.
