"Mendez and team did a phenomenal job removing the different outdated flooring and installing LVP flooring that I had purchased. The team did such a great job that when I remove the carpet in the rest of the home, they’ll be the team that I hire to do so. The first photo is what it looked like and the second is the installed LVP flooring"

"This company did an amazing job on our kitchen!! The walls were in pretty rough shape & had paneling over sheetrock & several layers of wallpaper over that! We removed some of it before we hired this company but they did alot of prep work to prepare the walls for painting. It all turned out wonderful!! They were very personable, listened to what we wanted, made suggestions, and helped us decide what would look best! We set an appointment for them to start after finishing another job which they were working on. The date to start had to be delayed one week but they were very prompt & courteous about working that out with us! They got it all done in 2 days which was wonderful!!! They also did a great job cleaning everything up when they were done, didn't leave any mess for us to have to clean up!! That meant alot to me!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company to anyone needing work done!! & when I have a need for something else to be done they are definitely the ones I will hire!!!"

"Moving to a new apartment and asked for help making the rugs look brand new and clean. The job was done fast and efficiently. Still waiting on the verdict from my apt complex but move out inspection was smooth and nothing was checked off for the carpet. Definitely would use them again."

I couldn't be happier They look amazing! They showed up early, stayed late, and finished my job in 2 days. Even brought me a burger back for lunch! These guys are very professional and made sure they went through the entire process for me. I will always choose them, and you should too!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to install carpet over concrete, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive.

Smaller carpet installations may take less than a day, while full-home installations can take several days. However, your carpet installation timeline will ultimately depend on a few factors, including the number of rooms you’re renovating, the project’s total square footage, and the carpet type. Installation will take longer if your carpet company needs to repair your subfloor or remove old tile flooring.

It is not recommended to install or stretch a carpet without a power stretcher. Skipping essential tools like a power stretcher and a knee kicker will likely result in an improper installation, leaving you with wrinkles, creases, and an unappealing final look. While a knee kicker can provide some limited stretching for thinner carpets, it is not a proper substitute. Attempting to stretch a carpet by hand or with homemade tools can also shorten its lifespan. For the best results, you should buy or rent a stretcher. If you do not want to use a stretcher, it is better to hire a professional for the installation.

The first step in budgeting for carpet is to determine the amount of carpet you need and the type of carpet you want. You might be tempted to opt for the least expensive option if you have a limited budget, but a low-quality carpet won’t last as long as a high-quality one. When accounting for future carpet repair costs, it makes sense to buy the best-quality carpet you can afford.

Installing carpet padding is mostly a matter of measuring the room and cutting the carpet pad to size with a utility knife. You can save some money on carpet installation costs by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room’s perimeter and prepare the subfloor by cleaning and making any necessary repairs. Then, unroll the carpet pad and cut sections as needed. Staple the carpet pad to the subfloor along the edges, leaving the tack strips exposed.
