Frequently asked questions

Does NailIt include labor or contractor costs?

No. NailIt estimates materials only. Since you're doing the work yourself, we show only what you'll spend on supplies—carpet, adhesive, sealing tape, and tools.

What's the difference between carpet repair and partial replacement?

Repair typically involves patching a small damaged area (stain, burn, snag). Partial replacement means removing and installing new carpet in a section of a room. Both use the same materials; partial replacement covers more square footage.

Can I rent tools instead of buying them?

Yes. Tool costs in this estimate assume modest hand-tool purchases or rental alternatives. If you rent a power stretcher or seaming iron, factor rental costs (usually $20–$50/day) into your budget.
