Choose your city

Colorado's dry air and temperature swings can affect flooring. Carpet, especially natural fibers, can react to these changes. We choose materials suited for our climate. This means your new carpet will last longer. We also consider the sun's intensity, which can fade some colors over time. Our team knows how to prepare your subfloor for these conditions.

Common questions

How much does carpet installation cost in Colorado?
How long do you have to stay off new carpet in Colorado?

Generally, you can walk on new carpet after about 24 hours in Colorado. However, it is best to avoid heavy furniture for a few days. This allows the carpet fibers to settle properly. We will provide specific advice for your installation.

What is the best flooring for the money in Colorado?

For value in Colorado, consider durable options like quality vinyl plank or well-installed carpet. These offer good performance in our climate. They can also be budget-friendly. We can help you weigh the pros and cons for your specific needs.

What is the 1-3 rule for flooring in Colorado?

The '1-3 rule' often refers to expansion gaps needed for wood flooring. Carpet does not typically have this same rule. It is more about proper stretching and installation. We ensure your carpet is installed correctly for our climate.

Which is better, vinyl plank or laminate for Colorado?

Both vinyl plank and laminate are good choices for Colorado. Vinyl plank is generally more water-resistant, which is a plus. Laminate can mimic hardwood beautifully. We can discuss which best suits your lifestyle and home in Boulder.
