"Ques Eso Express were outstanding. They contacted immediately after I posted a need for services. A date was quickly set and an estimate given to cost. They arrived on the property on time, a work began quickly. So professional in their approach. Such wonderful people to work with. I would give them my highest recommend and can already anticipate using their company again in the future. They brought the sofa back with their professional service, carpets and area rug were cleaned and the entire house looked better. I highly recommend that you seriously consider Ques Eso for all of your needs."

"Excellent work ethic. I allowed him to make a few suggestions that work out beautifully. He goes above and beyond to make my projects absolutely amazing. I can’t say enough about how pleased I was with Brian’s ability to do just about everything that was needed even redesigned my pool house and landscape surrounding. Even though it wasn’t listed on my project list he managed to get squirrels out of my attic. To which I will forever be grateful. Brian checks all the boxes on my satisfaction list."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Spring and fall are the best seasons for installing carpet. Both seasons benefit from moderate temperatures and low humidity levels, which can help the carpet acclimate to the room and settle properly once installed. However, installing carpet during the winter months could result in lower costs, as demand for this service is low.

Installing carpet over carpet may affect the warranty of the new carpet. Check with the manufacturer or retailer regarding their warranty policies. Many warranties stipulate specific installation guidelines, and installing carpet over carpet may not comply with these requirements. Voiding the warranty due to improper installation methods can leave you without help in case of issues or defects with the new carpet.

Experts advise that replacing carpeting can bring a 50% to 80% return on investment. However, new carpeting doesn’t necessarily add value to your overall home value. Because flooring value heavily depends on taste, it can be tricky to determine whether new carpet will increase your home sale price. Carpeting tends to be a renovation that increases overall comfort and aesthetics for your home, but it’s not a big factor in value.

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction and friction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls. Additionally, if a fall does occur, carpet offers more cushioning, which can lessen the severity of an injury. While hard surfaces can look great, they are often more slippery. However, it's worth noting that some carpets, especially if they are new, dirty, or have a slick texture, can also pose a slipping hazard. To improve safety on any type of stair surface, you can add traction treads to increase grip.
