Installing Wall-to-Wall Carpet

Bob meets Scott Howard of Dean's Carpet as he installs Stainmaster nylon carpet in one of the Mashpee, Massachusetts, affordable homes. This nylon carpet is engineered to fight off stains from kids, pets, and food. Howard uses an eight-pound rebond pad underneath that is made from recycled foam and will last the life of the carpet. This type of installation is not for do-it-yourselfers since there are so many specialized tools required. The installers fit carpet under the baseboard heat enclosure and tamp it onto the tackless underneath for a tight fit. More information
