"The worst flooring company! Outrageously expensive. If there was an option for zero stars that's exactly what I'd give. Took advantage of a terrible situation. No compassion and took over 3 weeks for installation. Not sure how they are getting 5 stars. Low quality. Absolutely horrible. Had to replace the $13000 floors from this company less than 2 years later."

"I am very disappointed with my experience at Scottsdale Flooring America. I paid a premium for carpet with the understanding it was backed by a warranty, and I followed all care requirements, including professional cleaning every 18 months (with receipts to prove it). When the carpet started rippling within two years, I expected the warranty to be honored. Instead, I was told the warranty was void without proper investigation and immediately referred to pay out-of-pocket for repairs. Despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue, the service was dismissive, and Todd the store owner showed little concern for customer satisfaction. I felt ignored and disrespected throughout the process. If you are considering purchasing from this location, I urge you to think twice and be aware they are not a BBB accredited business. They do not stand behind their products or their promises."

McFarland's Carpet Service has been family owned and operated since 1947. Your oriental rugs and carpets are not just art treasures; they're also very valuable investments. They must be stored and cleaned properly to maintain the rug itself and increase the value. That's why you want a rug cleaning specialist that will take care of your rug and not a "carpet cleaner".

"Perhaps the most terrible customer service Ive ever experienced from a company. Brought our Persian rug to be repaired (tassels needed to be redone). The first thing when we dropped off the rug the owner and his son say "I wouldn't pay $80 for this piece of s***". We took it with a grain of salt because some people lack social intelligence and it's not worth arguing. The owner confirmed that the tassels will be redone and quoted us $620. Fast forward 2 weeks later with no updates, I called and asked if the rug was finished. Apparently it was. I picked up the rug and when I unwrapped it, the tassels had not been touched at all. I called in to which the son answered. I asked if they had possibly missed the tassels? He became extremely defensive saying I needed to bring the rug in and ask his Dad. I asked if I could just speak to him on the phone as I live 45 minutes away. Turns out his Dad is "in the middle of no where in Mexico". The son then said "You'll get your refund and never call back here again" and hung up the phone. I had my husband call because maybe I upset him? Turns out the son might have anger problems because again he said to my husband "I'll call you whenever I feel like it" and hung up again. Keep in mind this guy is probably in his late 30's. He shouldn't be in charge of customer service if he has issues. I've attached photos of their "work". They also keep their dog in the shop which jumps on top of and sleeps on all of their rugs for sale and the clients rugs."

"Because Floor Depot does no advertising, they're easy to miss. But I was so glad that I found them! I had visited several big box stores, and couldn't find anything I liked. ( It seems that oak is very trendy now, but I really wanted a maple look for my house.) Unlike a place like Home Depot which only displays the most current styles, Floor Depot displays the whole product line. I was able to find the maple color I wanted in everything from engineered hardwood to vinyl. The salesperson (also the owner) spoke with me at length about the pros and cons of the various kinds of flooring. Because of his advice, I actually spent less money than I had intended. A big plus is that the store lets you take home very large samples (I took home four.) Actually placing the samples in my house gave me a really good idea of what my rooms would look like when the work was completed. The prices were fair, and I happy to talk to a very knowledgeable person who was able to save me a lot of money on my purchase. The owner also recommended an installer who was excellent. If you're looking for flooring, put this place at the top of your list."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

In order to avoid long-lasting waves, indents, or sticking, it’s a good idea to wait at least 24 hours after fresh carpet is laid to put weighty furniture on top of it. However, you can begin walking on your new carpet right after it’s installed, and doing so can actually help it adhere to the floor better.

Installing carpet tile takes a pro a few hours per room, while experienced DIYers may take a little longer. However, that does not factor in the time needed to remove the old carpet. Also, if there are issues with the subfloor, fixing it will add to the overall time it takes to complete the installation.

Yes, you can put carpet directly on concrete. However, you need to take certain precautions to ensure the success of the carpet installation. For example, you’ll need to choose a synthetic carpet pad to provide insulation and cushioning and a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from seeping into the carpet.

The knee kicker tool that attaches carpet to tack strips offers some stretching capabilities, so you can use this and your own arm strength to stretch out thinner carpets across a room. But you should buy or rent a stretcher for the best possible carpet application. If you don’t want to buy or rent a stretcher, it may be worth it to skip the DIY and leave this job to the pros or risk shortening the life of your new carpet by installing it without a stretcher.
