Soft Floors That Last for Years

Professional carpet installation and replacement services in San Antonio that deliver comfort and durability.

If your floors feel cold, echo with every step, or show visible wear from years of foot traffic, replacing or installing new carpet changes how your San Antonio home sounds and feels the moment you walk through the door. Carpet absorbs noise between rooms, cushions your steps, and softens spaces where you spend time with family or guests.

Baseline Flooring installs and replaces carpet for homes and businesses throughout San Antonio, starting with proper padding that prevents premature compression and extends the life of your flooring. We secure carpet edge to edge, trim seams to stay invisible under normal use, and remove old material and debris before we leave. The work includes surface prep, padding installation, carpet stretching, and finishing around doorways and transitions.

What Happens During a Full Carpet Install

We start by removing your existing flooring if needed, checking the subfloor for damage or unevenness, and installing padding that matches the carpet type you selected. In San Antonio homes, we often work around furniture placement and doorways that need custom transitions to tile or hardwood in adjacent rooms.

Once the carpet is laid and stretched, you will notice the surface sits flat without ripples or loose spots, seams align tightly enough that they are hard to see, and the edges stay tucked under baseboards without gaps. Proper padding underneath means the carpet holds its shape under furniture and resists matting in high-traffic areas longer than carpet laid over thin or worn padding.

We clean up all old materials, adhesive, and tack strips before we finish. The installation does not include moving large furniture such as pianos or entertainment centers, but we work around most standard household items. If your subfloor needs repair or leveling, we identify that during the initial assessment so there are no surprises once the old carpet is removed.

Questions That Come Up Before Installation

Homeowners in San Antonio often ask about timing, material choices, and what to do with furniture before installation day. Here are answers to the most common concerns we hear during the booking process.

How long does carpet installation take?
Most single-room installations take three to five hours, including removal of old flooring and cleanup. Whole-home projects typically require one to two days depending on square footage and the number of transitions between rooms.
What type of padding should I use?
We recommend eight-pound density padding for high-traffic areas and six-pound padding for bedrooms. The padding thickness and density affect how the carpet feels underfoot and how long it resists compression from furniture and foot traffic.
Why do seams sometimes become visible over time?
Seams can lift or separate if the carpet was not stretched properly during installation or if padding underneath compresses unevenly. We use power stretchers to pull carpet tight across the room, which keeps seams flat and reduces the chance they will show later.
What happens if my subfloor is damaged?
We inspect the subfloor before laying padding and let you know if we find soft spots, water damage, or areas that need leveling. Subfloor repairs are handled separately, but we identify issues early so installation is not delayed.
When should I replace carpet instead of cleaning it?
If the carpet has permanent stains, worn traffic patterns that show backing material, or odors that do not go away after cleaning, replacement is usually the better option. Cleaning works well for surface dirt, but it cannot restore fibers that have matted down or lost their texture.

Baseline Flooring works with homeowners across San Antonio to install carpet that fits the way you use your space, whether that means durable fibers for kids and pets or softer textures for bedrooms and living areas.
