Carpet Installation & Replacement in Allston
As a local contractor serving the Allston community, I've seen firsthand how outdated flooring can affect a home's overall aesthetic and resale value. With its dense population and aging housing stock, Allston's homes often feature worn-out carpets that require attention. Our carpet installation services cater specifically to this neighborhood's needs, addressing issues such as moisture accumulation in basements due to heavy rainfall (averaging 43 inches per year) and high humidity levels during the summer months.
Our team takes into account the unique characteristics of Allston's homes, including their age and architectural style. Many of these homes were built between 1920-1950, with some as old as 100 years. This means that the subfloors may not be level or smooth, requiring additional work to ensure a proper installation. Our prices reflect this complexity, ranging from $1,500 for smaller rooms to $5,000 for larger spaces or those requiring extensive repairs.
When it comes to choosing the right carpet, we consider factors like fiber type and quality, as well as room square footage and furniture moving requirements. We've worked with numerous homeowners in Allston who have been pleased with our attention to detail and commitment to delivering a smooth, wrinkle-free finish that enhances their living spaces.
