OverviewWhy homeowners choose
Why homeowners choose
Frieze / Twist.
Frieze (pronounced free-ZAY) is hyper-twisted cut pile - the yarn is over-twisted before tufting so each fiber stands up slightly curled. The texture hides footprints, vacuum lines, and traffic patterns better than any other cut-pile construction. The default 'I want plush comfort but my house gets used' answer.
Highly twisted fibers that hide footprints and vacuum lines.
Best for: Family rooms, hallways, kids' rooms. Pricing starts at $2.79 / sq ft, with full installed pricing typically in the $4.79 / sq ft installed range.

Lifetime
8–15 years
expected lifespan
Lowest installed cost per square foot. Easiest floor to refresh when listing - buyers prefer new carpet over old hardwood in bedrooms.
Three homes where this shines
Busy household with kids and pets
Two dogs, a toddler, and a finished basement playroom. You need a floor that survives juice spills, claw marks, and the occasional accident - and still looks great when guests come over. Frieze / Twist handles all of that.
Refreshing the living room
You're not ready to renovate the whole house, but the living room is looking tired. Frieze / Twist drops in over your existing subfloor in 1–3 days, and the room photographs ten years younger before the baseboards are even back on.
Tight budget, real impact
Starting at $2.79 / sq ft, Frieze / Twist delivers the highest visible upgrade per dollar in the carpet family - a smart pick for rentals, flips, or any room where budget matters.

Yes, but…The questions everyone asks
The questions everyone asks
before they sign.
Will frieze still look good in 10 years?+
With a premium nylon or Triexta fiber base, yes - the twisted construction maintains its shape. With cheaper polyester frieze, traffic lanes do eventually flatten.
Does frieze pile up pet hair?+
Slightly more than berber, less than plush. A weekly vacuum keeps it manageable. The texture actually hides what hair is there better than smoother carpets.
Won't Frieze / Twist feel cheap or look fake up close?+
Modern manufacturing has closed almost all of that gap. Premium SKUs in this tier use real-wood scans, multi-pass texture, and beveled edges - at conversational distance, most homeowners can't tell. Ask for our top three samples in this category and compare them on your own floor before deciding.
How disruptive is the install?+
Most Frieze / Twist jobs finish in 1–3 days per floor. Whole-home installs average 4–7 working days. We sequence rooms so you always have a kitchen and at least one bathroom in service.
What if I don't love it once it's down?+
We bring up to 8 samples to your Free In-home Estimate so you can see the planks/tiles in your own light before we order material. After install, our workmanship warranty covers any defect for the life of the floor - no fine print.
