Choosing what type of carpet is best for your home is difficult
For resale you want something nutral light colors will stain easier but
give the room a brighter feel
When you are getting your carpet pad opt for the higher grade
Nylon is good for quality and price dont buy the cheapest you want the
highest tread count you can afford within reason. make sure it says
solution dyed that means the color is put in when they make the nylon.
Cut pile is probably what you want to save money
loop lasts longer but it is very hard to cut in a patch and make it look
good
also make sure they give you the larger scraps incase you do have
a burn or bad spill. That way you can cut in a patch
Resale SF Bay area? million dollar houses?
dont worry about resale because your furniture
will leave marks in the carpet and unless you sell them your furniture too
or they want a golf course for the cat they will endup replacing it
