Carpet

Soft underfoot, built for the way your family actually lives.

Bare feet in the morning, kids on the floor, pets on every surface. Carpet has to handle all of it. We carry fibers that resist stains, pads that don't flatten, and brands that hold up past year three.

Fiber Types We Install

Four fibers that cover almost every project.

Carpet comes down to fiber. Each one performs differently with pets, stains, sunlight, and traffic. These are the four we install most.

Spacious master bedroom with durable nylon carpet in soft neutral tones

Nylon Carpet

The most durable residential fiber on the market. Excellent resilience under furniture, recovers well from foot traffic, and holds color through years of sunlight. Our pick for high-traffic households and stairs.

Triexta carpet fiber close-up showing stain-resistant texture

Triexta (Smartstrand)

A newer fiber engineered for stain resistance built into the strand itself, not just topical treatment. Pet-friendly, soft underfoot, and the easiest carpet to clean we carry. Strong choice for families with kids and pets.

Cozy loft bedroom with polyester carpet covering the full floor and landing

Polyester Carpet

The budget-friendly fiber. Naturally stain-resistant and available in a wide color range. Slightly less resilient than nylon, but a practical pick for bedrooms, secondary spaces, and rental properties.

Luxury master bedroom with premium wool carpet in soft neutral tones

Wool Carpet

The premium natural fiber. Self-regulating against humidity, hypoallergenic, and ages better than synthetic options. Higher upfront cost, but lasts longer and feels different underfoot than anything synthetic.

What Actually Matters

Three decisions that determine how long your carpet lasts.

The fiber matters. But these three factors determine whether your carpet looks good in year five or shows wear by year two.

Carpet pad layers showing upgraded padding quality

Pad Quality

The pad underneath your carpet does more work than people realize. Standard 6 lb pad is included in our base pricing. 8 lb pad adds comfort and life. Memory foam pad is the upgrade that makes cheap carpet feel expensive and good carpet feel luxurious. Skipping pad quality is the most common mistake we see.

Pet Performance

For pet households, the right combination is Triexta or solution-dyed carpets paired with an upgraded pad. The fiber resists stains. The pad prevents accidents from reaching the subfloor. Without both, you'll be pulling carpet up in three years.

Hallway carpet in a high-traffic area of a home

Traffic Patterns

Hallways, stairs, and other high traffic areas wear differently than bedrooms. We'll recommend a denser carpet for high-traffic zones to make sure your carpet lasts for years to come.

Want carpet that still looks good in 10 years? Ask about upgraded padding.

The pad is the part of your carpet system that you can't see, but it determines how the carpet feels and how long it lasts. 6 lb is the residential minimum. 8 lb is what we recommend for most homes. Memory foam adds comfort and protects against subfloor moisture from spills and pet accidents. Most box stores include the cheapest pad available and don't tell you. We will.

Common Questions

Questions about carpet?

The things homeowners ask us every week, answered straight and without hedging. If something isn't here, just call us at 737-260-7177.

01 Is carpet a bad idea for pet households? +
Not at all, but the fiber choice matters. Triexta and solution-dyed nylon both handle pet accidents better than polyester or undyed nylon. The trick is pairing the right fiber with a moisture-barrier pad. The fiber repels surface stains, the pad keeps anything that does soak through from reaching the subfloor. We've installed carpet in pet households where it still looks great five years later. The wrong fiber and pad combination wears out in two.
02 How long does carpet actually last? +
Budget polyester in a low-traffic bedroom can last 8-10 years. Mid-range nylon or Triexta in a typical household runs 12-15 years. Premium nylon or wool with quality pad can hit 20 years. The biggest variables aren't the carpet itself, they're the pad, the foot traffic, and how often it's professionally cleaned. We tell clients to plan for a 12-15 year window in normal residential use.
03 What's the difference between nylon, Triexta, and polyester? +
Nylon is the most resilient. It bounces back from foot traffic better than any other synthetic fiber and holds color through years of sunlight. Triexta is engineered for stain resistance built into the fiber itself, making it the easiest to clean and the pick for pet households. Polyester is the budget option, naturally stain-resistant, but slightly less resilient over time. The right answer depends on traffic, pets, and budget.
04 Why does the pad matter so much? +
The pad does three things: it makes the carpet feel softer underfoot, it absorbs impact from foot traffic, and it can include a moisture barrier that protects your subfloor from spills and accidents. A cheap pad makes expensive carpet feel cheap and shortens its lifespan. A good pad makes mid-range carpet feel premium and adds years to its life. Standard 6 lb is our base. 8 lb or memory foam is the upgrade we recommend for most homes.
05 Is wool carpet worth the higher cost? +
For the right home, yes. Wool is naturally hypoallergenic, regulates humidity (a real consideration in Central Texas), and ages better than synthetic fibers. The lanolin in the fiber naturally resists soil. The downside is higher upfront cost and you can't use most synthetic cleaning products on it. If long-term value, comfort, and natural materials matter more than upfront price, wool is worth the investment. For most homes, mid-range nylon or Triexta makes more practical sense.
06 How long does carpet installation take? +
Most carpet projects run 1-2 days, including demo of old flooring, pad installation, and carpet stretching. Stair installations add time. Whole-home projects with multiple rooms typically take 2-3 days. We give you a realistic timeline during your consultation, not the best-case number.
07 What's included in the per-sqft price? +
Every per-sqft rate on this page is a true installed price. carpet material, standard 6 lb pad, professional installation labor, and tax. Pad upgrades, stairs, demo of existing flooring, and any leveling work show as separate line items on your written estimate before we start. Nothing is buried. You'll see every dollar accounted for, and we lock your material pricing at deposit, even if supplier costs change before your install date.
08 Does new carpet affect indoor air quality or allergies? +
New carpet has a brief off-gassing period (usually 48-72 hours) where you may notice a smell from the manufacturing process. After that, carpet actually traps allergens and dust until they can be vacuumed away, which can improve air quality compared to hard flooring in many homes. For allergy-sensitive households, we recommend wool (naturally hypoallergenic) or solution-dyed nylon with frequent HEPA vacuuming. We'll talk through the right fiber for your specific situation.
