Hey Keith,awesome job my friend.I totally hear ya,when we gotta do fixes to other contractors jobs. When i shim to tile,i leave a little eight inch space,as opposed to butting shims against tile.I cut it a little heavy and tuck it to the floor.It makes for a nice finish,and that carpet will never come loose,and no strands showing in the future. Cheers keith.We’re the last of the moehigans.LoL
Funny how America and Europe use totally different methods. We use double-face tape rather than tack strips to hold down the carpet, generally directly to the cement floor w/o pads. It's probably a lower level of comfort, but is it really perceptible (?).
Hi Keith Beautiful Work bud. Question as an installer myself in the Niagara Region, 21 Years at End Of The Roll, I was wondering why you wouldn't use a reducer at the Bathroom instead of the shims. I see you use Red Tape at the seams for Pad. Do you get call backs for the Crunch sound it makes over time. I've stopped using it all together lol. I have always used a kicker but recently I was convinced to buy the knee less Kicker but I cant get used to it, Any tips on it & the proper methods on using it the right way.. You do great work Man I enjoy watching your Vids. Beautiful work on the stairs as well.. Nice to watch guys that are local or in our case just down the QEW. LOL
Hey bud how’s it going! Yup we use the shims I’d love to see the reducer your talking about in action!!! Stretcher is great but takes some time to get used to! Once you get the hang of it it’s as fast as anything! (Damn learning curve)😀😀😀🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Hey Keith and Mike- Johnsonite make rubber shims that are so nice to work with. They are pricey,but that gets passed onto customer.Check em out,its a great product for shimming.Cheers
hi! I just across your video. Nice job. I love the carpet. Can you provide maker? I was able to made out the color, but not the brand. Is this carpet available in most carpet installers?
Wonderful work. I have a tiled entry. Somebody put ceramic tiles over the original vinyl, so it sits as high as the transitions. Worried about that.😂

Hi Keith, great video! I'm interested in getting some carpet installed in my basement. Where are you located?
We are located in Toronto/ Hamilton Area for installation
Hello we just bought a home in Oshawa and we're getting the basement done in the new year. Do you guys install carpets in Oshawa?
Little bit out the way for us
Expensive but looks fantastic
What is the color of paint on those walls and where did you get it? Just putting finishing touches on drywall and have to pick out paint. I love this!
The customer picked out the paint on this job / I’m not sure of the color….sorry🙏🙏🙏
ok thanks for quick reply and awesome videos...really helps!
Whats the cost per sq ft for carpet. That install seems cheap. I am looking at carpet at $3.78 sq ft. For 22x14 room.
Not sure have to check/ thought I mentioned in video?
You talk about total cost of install but never mention the cost per sqft of the materials. Any numbers on that?
That s cheap. Thanks
