PLUSH CARPET
Plush carpet is the epitome of comfort, with its dense, smooth pile that creates a soft and luxurious feel underfoot. Ideal for bedrooms and living rooms, this style offers a rich, velvety appearance that adds a touch of elegance to any space. Its even, upright fibers make it perfect for formal areas where a refined, upscale look is desired.
BERBER CARPET
Known for its durability and resilience, Berber carpet features looped fibers that can handle heavy foot traffic with ease. It's a popular choice for high-traffic areas such as hallways, stairs, and family rooms. Berber’s low-maintenance design resists stains and hides dirt, making it a practical yet stylish option for busy households and commercial spaces.
FRIEZE CARPET
Frieze carpet is a modern, textured option that features tightly twisted fibers, creating a casual and contemporary look. Its unique texture not only adds visual interest but also helps conceal footprints, dirt, and vacuum marks. This makes it an excellent choice for active areas in the home, such as family rooms, playrooms, and busy living spaces.
PATTERNED CARPET
For those looking to make a bold design statement, patterned carpet offers intricate designs and textures that bring visual depth to any room. Whether you want geometric patterns, floral designs, or custom motifs, this style is perfect for adding character to formal spaces like dining rooms, home offices, or entryways. Patterned carpet combines durability with a sophisticated, eye-catching appearance.
SAXONY CARPET
Saxony carpet features a soft, plush texture with tightly packed fibers that create a smooth and even appearance. It’s perfect for formal areas like living rooms and bedrooms, where a luxurious and elegant look is desired. While its smooth finish gives a refined look, it can show footprints and vacuum marks, making it best suited for low-traffic spaces.
CUT AND LOOP CARPET
Cut and loop carpet combines both cut fibers and looped fibers to create unique patterns and textures. This style is highly versatile and adds dimension to any room, making it an ideal choice for spaces where you want to make a design statement, like home offices or living areas. It’s also great for hiding stains and wear in high-traffic zones.
TEXTURED CARPET
Textured carpet features fibers with varying lengths, giving it a casual, slightly uneven look that helps mask footprints and dirt. It’s a great option for active households, as it’s durable and easy to maintain, making it a smart choice for family rooms, play areas, and busy common spaces.
SHAG CARPET
Shag carpet is known for its long, thick fibers, creating a deep, cushioned feel underfoot. It’s a great option for cozy spaces where comfort is a priority, such as bedrooms, lounges, or media rooms. Its retro style makes it a bold choice, offering both texture and warmth, though it requires regular care to maintain its plush appearance.

Steps for Replacing a Carpet:
Steps for Replacing a Carpet:
1. Clear the Area
Remove all furniture and items from the room where the carpet is being replaced. Larger furniture may need to be disassembled and removed to another room.
Inspect the room for items that could be tripping hazards, such as floor vents or transition strips at doorways.
2. Remove the Old Carpet
Start by cutting the old carpet into manageable strips using a utility knife.
Pull up one section at a time, using a pry bar or pliers to lift the carpet from the tack strips at the edges of the room.
Remove old padding underneath the carpet and check for staples holding it in place. Use a staple remover or flathead screwdriver to pull them up.
Dispose of the old carpet and padding by rolling them up and taking them to a proper disposal facility or dumpster.
3. Remove Old Tack Strips (Optional)
If the existing tack strips are damaged, corroded, or not in the right position, use a pry bar or tack strip remover to take them out.
Replace tack strips with new ones around the perimeter of the room, leaving about ½ inch between the wall and the strip. Secure them with nails or screws.
4. Prepare the Subfloor
Inspect the subfloor for damage, squeaks, or uneven surfaces. If the subfloor has issues, it should be repaired before installing the new carpet.
Clean the subfloor thoroughly by vacuuming up dust, dirt, and debris to ensure a smooth surface for the new carpet.
5. Install Carpet Padding
Roll out the carpet padding across the subfloor, cutting it to fit the space.
Use a staple gun to attach the padding to the subfloor, ensuring it fits snugly but does not overlap.
Trim excess padding along the edges using a utility knife, leaving a slight gap between the padding and the tack strips.
6. Measure and Cut the New Carpet
Measure the room carefully, accounting for doorways and irregular shapes. Add a few extra inches to ensure the carpet will cover the entire area.
Roll out the new carpet and use a utility knife to cut it according to the room’s dimensions. For larger rooms, multiple sections may need to be joined with a seam.
7. Lay the Carpet
Start by laying the carpet loosely in the room, aligning it with the walls.
If multiple sections are needed, use carpet tape or adhesive to secure the seams, and roll a seam roller over the joins to flatten them.
8. Stretch the Carpet
Use a carpet stretcher or knee kicker to stretch the carpet across the room. Begin by hooking the carpet onto the tack strips along one wall, then work your way across the room to the opposite side.
Use the knee kicker to push the carpet into place around the edges and to secure it onto the tack strips.
9. Trim Excess Carpet
Once the carpet is stretched and secured, use a carpet tucker to press the edges of the carpet neatly between the tack strips and the wall.
Trim any excess carpet along the walls with a utility knife for a clean finish.
10. Install Transition Strips
For doorways and other areas where the carpet meets different flooring, install transition strips to create a smooth and secure transition.
11. Final Adjustments and Clean-Up
Walk across the carpet to ensure it’s properly stretched and flat with no wrinkles or bubbles.
Vacuum the carpet to remove loose fibers and any debris.
Replace furniture and other items back into the room once the installation is complete.
Our Methodology for Carpet Installation with NextGen Renovation Solutions
At NextGen Renovation Solutions, we follow a meticulous and customer-focused approach to carpet installation to ensure high-quality results, durability, and customer satisfaction. Our step-by-step methodology is designed to provide a seamless installation process that enhances the comfort, appearance, and value of your space.
1. Initial Consultation and Site Assessment
We begin with an on-site consultation, where our team evaluates your space, discusses your design preferences, and reviews your specific requirements.
We assist in selecting the most suitable carpet options based on the room’s function, foot traffic, and aesthetic goals, ensuring you choose a style, material, and color that best meets your needs.
Our experts provide a detailed quote and timeline, outlining every step of the installation process.
2. Accurate Measurement and Planning
Accurate measurements are crucial to a flawless carpet installation. We carefully measure the area, accounting for any irregular shapes, doorways, and transitions to other flooring types.
Based on these measurements, we plan the layout to minimize waste and seams, ensuring optimal placement of carpet sections for a clean, continuous look.
3. Removal of Existing Carpet and Preparation
We efficiently remove and dispose of old carpet and padding, taking care not to damage the underlying subfloor or surrounding walls.
Our team inspects the subfloor for any damage or irregularities, repairing as needed to provide a smooth and level surface for the new carpet installation.
Tack strips or adhesives are replaced or installed around the perimeter as required to ensure a secure fit for the new carpet.
4. Installation of Carpet Padding
High-quality carpet padding is installed to enhance comfort, provide insulation, and extend the life of the new carpet.
We carefully staple or adhere the padding to the subfloor, ensuring a snug fit without overlapping the edges, which ensures a smooth base for the carpet.
5. Precise Carpet Cutting and Laying
Based on the measurements, we cut the carpet to fit the room’s dimensions, leaving extra material at the edges for a perfect fit.
For larger rooms, multiple pieces of carpet are aligned and joined using carpet tape and adhesives to ensure invisible seams.
6. Carpet Stretching and Securing
We use specialized tools such as a power stretcher and knee kicker to stretch the carpet across the room, ensuring it is taut, wrinkle-free, and properly aligned with the tack strips.
Our team takes extra care to tuck and secure the carpet edges against walls and trim, delivering a neat and professional finish.
7. Finishing Touches
After the carpet is stretched and secured, we carefully trim excess carpet along the edges using a utility knife.
Transition strips are installed at doorways and between different flooring types to provide a smooth, seamless transition.
Any seams are rolled and pressed to ensure a smooth finish, and final inspections are carried out to ensure there are no bubbles, wrinkles, or loose sections.
8. Final Cleaning and Client Walkthrough
After installation, we vacuum the new carpet to remove any fibers and debris, leaving the room clean and ready for use.
We conduct a final walkthrough with the client, addressing any concerns and providing care and maintenance tips to keep the carpet looking and feeling its best.
Once the client is fully satisfied, we complete the job, ensuring everything is left in perfect condition.
