 | I'm having hardwoods installed in one big area, about 900 sqft. It's an engineered pecan hardwood that can only be glued down. No nailing or free floating. I have hired it out and will be having it installed soon. I already have the flooring. What should I watch for with the installer to make sure he's doing a good job and doing it right?
He will be removing carpet and some tile that's in the space now. He may have to level the slab depending on how level it is. I want to make sure I get a good job. What should I watch for?

| I was wondering how much money you can make an hour installing carpet. Where do you get training? I heard you need a license? Where would I get one? Does installing tile or hardwood pay more?

 | I'm trying to hire someone to install carpeting in my basement (about 1100 sq. feet). The job would include removal of existing carpet.
I was quoted for a supposed midrange carpet (polyester type with 32 oz weight per sq foot - whatever that means) $3100 for the whole thing - is that a good quote? If not, how much can I expect to pay by breakdown (carpet, install, padding, removal)
Thanks greatly appreciated!
I will leave a best answer for your effort!

 | My carpet was installed about 18 months ago. It looked fine then, but now has a couple of "bubbles" in it, so that it doesn't lie flat on the floor. What causes this and what can I do about it?

 | I recently pulled carpet from my living room and underneath the padding the installers used some type of glue and nails to keep it down. I cant contact the installers cause the carpet was down when i moved in. I have tried hot water and scraping. Id prefer not to sand but I think i may have to.

| I was told the double sided tape would not hold up in this area but, there are NO INSTRUCTIONS on how to iron the HEAT BOND TAPE without melting the carpet. It's just a small area so I don't want to pay carpet installers prices to fix it. Any suggestions?

 | My brother has been doing sheetrock and painting work, mostly residential and bids the jobs by going in and measuring each wall space that he has to do. He has the chance to do 4 commercial jobs, finish the sheetrock and paint, each between 20,000 to 40,000 sq ft but can't figure out if he's supposed to bid on the floor space sq footage or the wall space sq footage. This could be his chance to really get going on his own and he's afraid of not bidding right, but we already know that a bid of 1.00 a sq foot is expected, just not if that means the sq footage of floor space or wall space. I hope this makes sense and someone can help really soon.

| My mom's basement recently flooded and now she wants me to remove part of her carpet. She claims that the only tool I'll need is a razor knife. It's basically just a carpet laid over the cement basement floor. I don't know whether the installer attached it to the floor with an adhesive substance of some sort. I doubt it, personally. I have to remove the section of the carpet that is soaked. So, will a razor knife suffice? Or, do I need a stronger cutting implement?
