While it can be tempting to DIY your carpet installation, especially if you are working with a tight budget, having a professional handle it for you is nearly always a better approach. Attempting to install your carpet can result in poor attachment that looks uneven and comes apart faster than it should, ripples that cause tripping hazards and make moving objects around more difficult, and other potential problems. Many of these issues are even more common when working with much larger pieces of carpeting in a commercial space, which makes choosing us an even more important step in getting the most out of your investment. We work with businesses of nearly any size and type, including small office spaces, hotels, medical facilities, and many more.
Before you start looking at swatches, it’s important to get familiar with the installation process, even knowing what type of adhesives you may want to use. Understanding each step will help you plan accordingly; renovations are always inconvenient to some extent, but with a proper plan, you can minimize the stress put on employees and customers.
The first step in carpet installation is knowing how much space you need to cover. Commercial carpeters can measure the total flooring and note any oddly shaped areas that will be more difficult to work with.
Now that you know how much area you have to cover, it’s time to choose the carpet type. Carpeting comes in many different styles, lengths, densities, and textiles, which can be overwhelming if you’re not familiar with all the pros and cons of each. Your will want to choose between carpet tile and traditional carpet flooring. Fortunately, the experts at Precision Flooring Services can review options with you, ensuring you have all the information before you make a final decision.
If you currently have flooring installed, our team will first remove and dispose of it. This exposes the subfloor, which must be prepped before being carpeted.
Preparing the subfloor has several steps:
Filling in any cracks
Removing nails or staples
Smoothing the subfloor
Replacing broken tack strips (for stretch-in installations only)
If you’re having carpet padding installed, that will be laid down first. Once the padding is secured, our team will begin the installation of your chosen carpet.
This includes cutting the carpet into well-fitting pieces, which are laid out before being anchored. Our team makes sure seams are imperceptible, and all carpeting is flush to the walls, ensuring there are no issues later on.
Make sure that your new carpeting is just the right size before the installation process begins. Start by carefully measuring the area of the space you want to be carpeted. This process includes measuring your floor's general area and accounting for any closets, entryways, unique floor shapes, and other small or unusually shaped areas. Once we know exactly how much carpeting you need, we can help you choose a style with specific qualities that suit you. We will then remove any flooring you already have to reach the subfloor, which we carefully prepare by filling in cracks, removing any nails or staples that are present, and smoothing its surface to make sure that it is capable of properly supporting your new carpet. Finally, we install any padding you might want under the carpet itself and add the carpet on top.
Since we’ve mentioned how important choosing the right carpet is, let’s talk about the factors that may influence your decision. Which factors are most important depends on your business. For example, if you have a lot of foot traffic, durability may be your number one concern. If aesthetics are a large part of your business, style may be a priority. As you consider each factor, determine which are the most important and which can be compromised.
Durability is often a high priority for businesses, as the longer your carpet lasts, the less money you have to spend on repairs or replacements. For restaurants and other high-foot traffic enterprises, durability can also affect safety, as damaged carpeting may lead to slipping or tripping.
Installing carpet throughout your business can be expensive, so you understandably want to find an inexpensive but high-quality option. Just remember that to get carpet that truly lasts, you may have to spend a little bit more.
Out of all the factors to consider, style is the least cut-and-dry. If you work with a design agency in the Washington-Baltimore area, you may want to consult with their experts to get an idea of what styles to look for. After all, the carpet’s texture, pattern, and color all impact the final effect, and you want to ensure these characteristics fit well with your existing décor. The PFS team has decades of experience working with different carpet products and styles and is happy to help you select the right carpet for your space.
Finally, you need to think about how much maintenance your carpet will need. Among flooring options, carpeting is one of the higher maintenance choices, as it needs to be vacuumed regularly and can become discolored with heavy foot traffic. There’s also the potential for allergens such as dust and pollen to collect in the fibers, creating an unhealthy environment.

“I can’t recommend Precision Flooring highly enough. They brought samples to the house to provide an estimate, which was very convenient. Their estimate was less than competitors and their recommendation on the amount of material needed was precise and accurate. Their recommendations and advice on the types of flooring were consistent with consumer research sources — always impressive. Their workmanship in installing the flooring in our bathroom (including pulling up and then re-installing the commode) was expertly done. They were very efficient in their work, flexible, and left the workspace clean and neat. They also worked hard and were very responsive to questions and were prepared to handle any quirks in the sub-flooring that might have required a change in the installation plan. Highly professional and conscientious employees — I am very comfortable in giving Precision Flooring my highest recommendation.” – KG
