Co-op carpeting
My 4-floor co-op is looking into improving the hallway/stairwell with new carpeting and fresh paint. I'm curious if anyone has any advice on carpeting materials for this high-traffic area. Do you need the best padding? What carpet would you recommend? We need this job to last 10-15 years, but we also have to keep the costs down. We are planning to get estimates from the big-box stores. Any local, smaller business recommendations are appreciated. Thanks.

Red Hook Carpet Installation just did a fantastic (and reasonably priced) job installing carpet for me. I know they also sell carpet. Talk to Robert.

Thanks, HDL. I'll give them a call.

There are a couple of places on 5th Ave, both in the Slope and South Slope. You're looking for a commercial carpet, better to get an expert than the kid at HD.

Our coop wants to put new carpet in as well but we've decided to wait because of other expenses. Please post on what you find out about carpet.
We did paint the common halls/stairs (3 stories). We went with the lowest bid which was MUCH lower than the others. He did a fantastic job and also did some construction for storage in the basement. His name is Eddie and he can be reached on 646-359-0032.
Also, Steve did some sheetrock repair/replacement and painting in the hallway after a leak. He also did a great job at a low price. He is also an electrician and both Eddie and Steve do all types of general work. Steve's number is 646-404-8140.
Both are highly recommended from a Clinton Ave coop.

Thanks to you both. I'll post the results of the carpet search.

The guys at the big carpet store on Atlantic Ave near 3rd Ave are pretty knowledgeable and should be able to give you good advice.

HDL: Our building is considering using Red Hook Carpet Installation. We'd like to talk to references or see RH's work. Any chance we can speak off-line?
