Is your carpet grungy, damaged, or outdated? It may be time to lose the shag and spring for some berber. The new carpet materials are non-toxic, non-allergenic, and thus may be better for people who have allergies, asthma, or are sensitive to chemicals.

Installing carpet is a tough job. If you don’t have any experience installing carpets yourself, call a professional, licensed, and bonded carpet installer. Installing carpets yourself is not recommended; it’s a job best left to the pros.
