What Carpet Installation in Dripping Springs Actually Involves
The difference between a carpet that looks new in five years and one that ripples in two is almost entirely stretch and pad. We power-stretch every carpet in Dripping Springs rather than kick it in — a knee-kicker alone leaves the carpet under-tensioned, and under-tensioned carpet develops wrinkles as it relaxes. Power-stretching is slower, it is the standard the manufacturer warranty assumes, and it is included on every Sun Tile installation.
Pad is not the place to save money. For most Hays County homes we install a 7/16-inch rebond pad at 6-pound density, stepping up to 8-pound on stairs and high-traffic rooms where the carpet takes the most abuse. Pad that is too thick or too soft actually shortens carpet life by letting the backing flex, which is the opposite of what most people assume when they are handed a pad upgrade at a showroom.
Seam placement is planned before the carpet is cut: seams run with the light rather than across it wherever the room allows, and they are kept out of doorways and main traffic paths. Old carpet, pad, and tack strip come out, the subfloor gets inspected and re-fastened where it squeaks, and fresh tack strip goes down — reusing old strip is a shortcut that shows up later as a loose edge along a wall.
