I dropped out in the 10th grade to be a carpet layer. Its an honest living paid for by the damage its doing to my body. I do have to say...we are definitely a different breed. Im proud of my trade!
Same 😂
Same
20 years worth, LoL
Lmao me too bro me too I got the gorilla knuckles but now I’m making 110k so I’m chillin
@@SOSALUVS420 gross or net income? If u don’t mind sharing.
Dude. This is hysterical. I installed Carpet full time for 13 years, from the ages of 21 to 34 years old. At 34, I decided to change my profession to EMT, then Paramedic. I can tell you that dealing with dying people is WAY easier than laying rug. God that was an awful job.
These are just maybe some carpet installers but my dad installed carpet for 45 years .. He started when he was 20 as a Helper and learn the trade and became a professional carpet installer until he was 65. I often helped him and we always replaced the pad when the owners bought pad for their new carpet. 1 funny things my dad would say when the homeowner would ask how long he was doing carpet , he would look at his watch and say oh about 20 minutes lol. We always showed up on the job bright and early and he always gave a business card with his name on it and if homeowners called him with a problem he was always right there. I think this video maybe telling some truth to some carpet installers but not all. my dad had the nicest truck and was clean-shaven more than most carpet installers that were working for the same business. My dad always said if I was a homeowner and saw this vehicle pull up I would say nope I want somebody else lol this video was fun to watch, my dad was so good at what he did I watching this reminds me of what I learned regarding carpet installation. My job was to scrape the floor from the old Staples sweep up the floor. Lay the tack strip in the area and he would go around it with the scooter and nail down all the tack strip. I would sweep the floor again in case of tack strip pieces and I would install the pad, tack it down and cut it in. My dad did the rest but I would use the stair tool to tuck the carpet in after he stretched it and cut it and I would pick up all the scraps get any tools he needed and pick up all tools. It's a very physical job which I can understand why my father took up this trade. He was not the type to sit or work in the same place every day. After the installation in the day was done was the best, we felt good about ourselves because we accomplished something. No need to go to the gym, believe me your legs will be tired at the end of the day once you sit for 30 minutes and try to get back up. I became very physically fit just like my dad. Today my dad is 78 years old, he retired at 65 due to a heart valve issue and he needed surgery. I often worried that all the glue from laying pad on cement floors and the glue from the tape that you used for seams was harmful to breathe, we always open Windows when the weather wasn't so cold but my dad is doing great today. All those years of using the kicker for the carpet his knees are fine. His back has arthritis and some vertebrae's are bone to bone from all the heavy carpet he had carried for years. I make him medicine using medical marijuana and it relaxes his body and he is doing great. That's my story: thanks for reading. :)
I live with two professional carpet installers and they laugh at this video because if they say they will be at 8 they will and btw they can afford a hemi so this video is kind of funny
I love this I was born into a carpet installing family and I started installing with my dad when I was 16 here and there doing jobs with him when it was a job he could take his time and show me and it didn’t get in the way of school and other things etc.. I’m still doing it to this day at 31 and met the guy I’m going to marry while traveling to another state doing floors it’s been quite the journey and have a 3 year old out of it... I’m a tiny girl 5’2 110 lbs but I’m tough as shit n can carry my own in this trade so cool to have heard of another girl who did carpet with her dad cool shit and bless u both
@@DR-mo5rt yes I've been working with my exe girlfriends dad hes been doing it for over 30 years hes about ready to retire but his wife also installs I'm 19 I've been there since I was 17
@@DR-mo5rt so cool to know another girl is doing what I used to do. It's a tough job and most girls couldn't do it. rock on sis 😃👍
@@italiangirl2440 this brought back so many memories,my father started at 16 he passed in 97. He was 49.he was on year 33 installing when he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I started when I was still a single digit I picked up scraps,swept,by the time I was 12, I was tacking and padding,today I have 30 yrs in . I was taught the right way, and yes there are some that give the rest of us bad raps,I take pride in what I do,I feel that this guy's opinions and theories are coming from a failed installer, that is salty. Those who can do.
Those who can't,make diy videos to salvage what little self respect they have left. Thanks again for the memories
Dang judging by this video you know some real characters in the Flooring Industry LOL
FloorsbySouthernboys yessir! Chase nasty and I send through the list of people we know and pulled the bullet points from their daily stories

@@smartfloors4542 my dad understands that went very well. Every time he trained someone and got them knowing what to do they would quit. I'm a girl and I did it for 5 years,
I have to give you props for this video man I joined the carpet business about 5 months ago and you hit all the key lies hahaha 😂😂😂
Man you just summed up our industry! Watched over my lunch break. Laughed the whole time.This one was priceless! Keep them coming
John Steier haha thank you!! Absolutely will do!
#10 “Of course I power stretched your carpet.”
Carpet Repair Guys lol yep!!
Part of that is the consumers fault though right? I mean they're the ones trying to utilize Home Depots "free carpet installation" as a means of negotiation... yeah free.. not necessarily good though..
He’ll nah a start my jobs at 7am mate 😅 wakey wakey to the down stairs neighbours 😂
Not one time in 45 years of installing carpet have I heard of a clogged toilet from an installer using the facilities.
🤣 I started doing carpet at 14 and so many workers around me do this kinda stuff
I'm so glad I found your channel!!! HA HA HA!!! I work in the sales side of the industry so I sell materials, plan jobs and coordinate installers... I almost fell out of my chair when you said "any professional, reputable carpet installer starts their day at the crack of 10:45!!!" !!! That is so true!!! Keep the videos coming man! This is great!
You have to realize getting to the job site at 10:45 (a humorous exaggeration) does not take into account that they may be picking up your carpet, padding, and supplies at the warehouse before traveling to the job site. Also they may have rolls of old carpet, padding, etc. that they removed from your house the day before that they need to dispose of. All that takes time.
He’s using wood nails taken out of wood smoothedge. 😂 You forgot to mention how cheap we flooring guys can be.
Maybe he had a bad experience with his installer but not ALL installers are that way.
U are funny as heck😂...and you're not lying.
I'm still listening and up to the point where you're talking about installers saying they never have call backs. I've probably had three in the last 35 years.
As I listen to this video 100% of what I've heard is BS and I'm awaiting to finish listening to the video.
I've been waiting YEARS to get new carpet and it's finally in our budget this year and now this lol
Lmfao, got a good laught out of this video, thanks lol
I’ve been to jobs as early as 6:00am. Also not all carpet guys are degenerates. I learned from some very respected installers.
I'm more than sure he meant this as a joke; but I know what you mean. I work as a carpet cleaner, doing carpet repair and minor installs and such on the side.. and most of these guys just seem to do terrible jobs because they work based of volumes rather than off quality. I work primarily for commercial apartment complexes, 3/5 apartments I do are in dire need of proper stretching.
Not sure why so many dislikes, this is EXACTLY what most carpet installers are like.
Lol for sure!!
My favorite on the list "I've been in the carpet game for X amount years."
But they're not installing correctly and think they're doing a "good" job.
Christian Wilson haha yessir! Thanks for checking it out!
Lmao this is so true
What I see, is guys that are in there mid 20,s saying they have 15 years experience. Like what .. you were subcontracting at 10?
Straight facts 80% of 'legal' carpet installers called out in this video.
Great video Mike!
Gold Coast Flooring lol thanks mah dude!!
I’ve been a carpet layer for a about a year now more then 70 percent of this is all false 😂
U forgot i have a dentist appointment..
He's using cement nails on a wood floor
I'll bet if you was in jail you would be doing Bubba's dirty laundry. You're a snitch and have a high pitched voice. Perfect for Bubba
I was initially wondering why you would lay pad before installing the tack strip, but then I noticed you had no knee pads on. Gotta wear those pads brother
Does anyone know how long it takes to learn how to install carpet
Im a Hardsurface and carpet installer when I say I’m busy I’m actually busy or need to break when I say I have a M4 and just bought a TRX yesterday that’s no cap 🧢. I put in that work
Started in carpet moving to hardwood and laminate. After 32 years I've heard a lot of lies but try not to be that guy. Funny story our shop guy backing up a cube van with mirrors held on with duct tape . He caught a wood parking barrier swing arm with the front bumper. It sounded like a gun going off. When the security guard asked did you brake that he said did you hear me break it. We coined the frase ear witness.
My boss/ father in law would flip out if I showed up at 10. I'm at his house at 7:20am at the latest, we load up and are at the site by 8:30.
chrisb3522 you are the 1% of the 1% my friend!
chrisb3522 Good job Chris
We started a 2300 sq ft plank job yesterday. Fun times
chrisb3522 That sounds awesome
chrisb3522 get that 💰💰💰💰💰
I hate those knives, bloody Marry
this guy is hilarious
I think this video is ridiculous! People shouldn’t judge others just bc. I know I’ve had shady work but doesn’t mean all carpet installers are the same!
I've told all those lies and I'm ready to come clean is there anywhere I can get help?
David Crowson lol that’s actually my new business “carpet therapy” I’ll send over a paypal link so you can book your first session lol
David Crowson You just did get help, the first step to helping the problem is admitting you have a problem, good job David
@@CarpetExpertBlueprint thank you so much for this service
@@FloorsbySouthernboys thank you
Not gonna lie I’m a carpet installer for 4 years now and I thought that was funny asl I’ve only not replaced pad once and that was because we had just done the job with new pad a month prior but they wanted a different color carpet cuz the white got stained that fast lol 😂
SO true hahahah
I dnt know any installer that starts at 1030 am that's rediculous I start 7 am everyday
Must be the carpet installers you work with. But glad your making everyone and yourself that installs flooring look bad
Nice job I also have this job👌👌
I used to do carpet and it can be very true.
I get to the factory to load up at around 8:45- 9:00. I lay 50cm a day.
Just remember, it all depends on the shop you use.
Thank God I'm not in that list
LMFAO, All carpet installers are not the same but anyhow you have a point in a roundabout way Just like you and alot others I have a friend that bloomed from working hard and learned on y Job he's been in a slump and prison and now he's is a wholesaler who pays salary's and etc not to mention going above and beyond for the consumers but moste importantly if my Van needed work or parts and look and Labor cost it's about being true gut instinct tells you when to say something about a carpet installer's but buster Douglas loaded up carpet van's for a workout to fight Tyson because carpet work is harder than anyone realizes especially if it's a 3 Rd floor unit LoL 😂
So im not the only one who dropped out and started flooring.
Some serious hackery at 2:21... really? You want to expose that on a video???
Sonia Soheli I reveal it all round here!
Not sure why u think we're all degenerates bud, did someone hurt u? Lmfao. I'm kidding, most of em really are
Easy with the tracker
sounds like every installer in montreal...
Lol
I think I'll install my own carpet.... sorry Craigslist
Wow
Holy Jesus!
I'm a carpet/ floor installer and what you have just said is full on racism!
Change the word CARPET INSTALLER to Black man!
Most carpets are second grade, first grade, is dearer so they company's buy the flawed ones, customer never knows,
😂😂😂😂😂
My fathers carpet installer for the past 35 years and he’s never been to jail .I think you’re stereotyping it because that can go with any profession.But I’m not saying you’re completely wrong either
😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
This guy maybe he is the one that does that
lol where is this guy from??? lol.
Hahahahaaa!!!!, We are degenerates.
Spitfire 1978 yes indeed lol!!
Idk what kind of installers u met 😔
Ive been doing carpet installer for 37 years and i find this video in bad taste. Never been arrested. But if i ever met you i probably would be .
When you were trimming around the bi folding door mount you drove you blade straight into the baseboard ,WRONG WAY UNCOOL ! BUTCHERIOUS ! EXPLAIN PLEASE ?????
very informative video
Greaaaat I love being a degenerate
This video comes across as a joke video, but if it's not, you're a degenerate for for classifying an entire profession as bums and liars. There are dishonest and manipulative people in this line of work, such as every other line of work, but there is a majority who take pride in their work and are hard working honest people.
Aside from that, I do highly agree this particular field of work is hard on the body. I've just got into flooring (Not as a professional or job) and did a lot of flooring for a friend's business. I've done both VCT tile and carpet tile with removing nightmare glued down carpets that were extremely rough on me. Overall, I found this sort of work to be very rewarding.
The real horror story are three ones the salesperson tells the customer
Sadly, you sound very cynical. I think you must install in the most crappiest area's. I have always had an extreme level of ethics and install as correctly as possible. I'm imagining you are relating to your own personal experiences or you yourself! Try to be more positive so you don't have so many people disliking you.
and who ever is installing that pad and not is terrible lmfao wtf not efficient at all and a weird way to lay pad before strip
Please anyone watching do not fit how this guy does 🤦🏻♂️ if they got underfloor heating, you def gone through with those 2 inch nails!! I know some fitters who fall live by those phrases lol
It was leaking before I got here!
I'm not knocking anyone's work or work ethic but I've been on the floor doing flooring for decades and decades and decades but when you stated that they consumer shouldn't be afraid to change the pad and see if it was replaced and professionally installed I want you to look at what the video of you explaining to the customer about lies and etc because your video shows a barrier pad that taped is used for not the staples your application your doing because staples break the barrier and manufacturer will not claim it because of lies y unprofessional installation we are a breeder so don't hate appreciate your own lies to the consumer anyhow its like you don't tell nothing but the truth 😊
Never seen any real carpet installer lay pad before installing tack strip.......and dont know why your bagging on ruggers.......u probably dont even do it
Bro, your making alot of accusations about all carpet installers. Sure this may be true for some but not everybody works like you.
You have no clue. I'm an installer. Good installers do ZERO of those things. YOU get what YOU pay for. Highly offensive.
Is this you in the video.
And don’t lie.
If so, your an amateur
My husband is a carpet tile contractor and I have to say your videos is full of BS. 1st my husband is a high-school graduate and has college behind him. Also he has never had any criminal a l infraction as a background check Is required with most companies. Also he install 100 to 200 yards a day. Stop making up conjectures of something you know little about. And your conjecture about how much we make is full of crap. Smh...stop watching this guy.
BTW our helpers make 40,000. Most installers that work for us make 70,000 a year.
You’re actually very insulting and not true. And why are you think you need to put this garbage out on RUclips? It’s just confusing. I grew up in the flooring business. My father had morals we always went above and beyond for the customers because if you take care of the customers, they’ll be your customer for life, and no we did not get callbacks. My father guaranteed the installation for the life of the carpet. That means no wrinkles nothing coming loose. The only thing that he insisted on is that you never ever steam clean your carpet. Never been in the giant/jail, neither has my father and we always tried to talk to customer into getting new padding under the carpet because with the newer pads, the life of the carpet would actually last longer. The phone numbers that my mother and father had for the business they had them to the day they died. I’ll be there tomorrow at 8 o’clock. As far as experience installing carpet, my father had over 50 years of experience installing carpet. He started back when you did not iron. Seems all seams were handsewn I know four different locking stitches that you use for carpet installation. I have over 40 years of experience installing carpet. Carpet vinyl tile, ceramic RK battleship linoleum and the list goes on. As far as when we would show up on the job, if we made an appointment to be at your house, we pulled up in front of the house 5 to 10 minutes before we were to be there, the scheduled time, and we would knock on the door 1 to 2 minutes early. My father insisted on it. You never show up late. In my younger years, we move furniture from either room to room or outside to lay the carpet and then moved it back. And all the years of laying carpet, I never once broke a piece of furniture. Neither did my father. Never lied about the vehicle. I drove my father never lied about the vehicle. He drove matter fact, my father drove a 1968 Ford three-quarter ton pick up truck until he died and before that he had a red one. The only thing that I notice his lies is this entire video this is not true. This is not realism to the carpet layers that I know. You may have had bad experience but you’re just full of shit. You don’t know what you’re talking about. The only thing that drives me nuts about the modern carpet layers. And yes I’m sure there are some bad ones out there and you’ll find bad in any field, but the part that is the worst is they install the carpet with an E kicker they do not bring in a power stretcher, and unlike the last scene here of the gentleman, installing the carpet up to the wood strip her wood flooring With the tack strip which is actually known as tactless trip for years if you’d like to know, he has no metal down there. There is a metal that has been called gripper Ridge for years and now they call Z bar that should be down there, so the carpet is tucked in, and it comes up flush to the wood floor instead of being a drop down or raise up and it makes it look nice and it’s a professional installation. This is actually very insulting. By the way my father also invented and patented the carpet crane and he also invented and patented the carpet dolly or by Roberts it’s known as Karpet Kart, and if you’ll notice carpet cart is actually spelt with K’s because my fathers last name started with a K. His business was called Kirkpatricks carpet. Lived in a small town in California. He was called by carpet manufactures to go back to Texas, Oklahoma LA serve Dino, Northern California, Nevada to either fix, or take care of or install difficult jobs. He was a true master of the trade, and the lies that use you said is very insulting because I was trained by this man, so my personal opinion is you need to crawl back in your hole learn little more because not everything you say is true.
Rude Bro
Are yiu the one who started these lies lol
