"I had an excellent experience with this carpet cleaning service. The work was done professionally, on time, and with great attention to detail. My carpets had stains and heavy traffic areas from family & kids, that I honestly didn?t think would come out, but they now look almost brand new. The technician Anthony was respectful of my home, explained the process clearly, and made sure everything was done right before leaving. The results were impressive and the whole place smelled fresh and clean afterward. If you?re looking for someone reliable who takes pride in their work and delivers real results, I highly recommend this company for carpet cleaning."

"The crew showed up on time. They were very professional and got right to work. This was an elderly person's home. There was a lot to clean up. Lots of "accidents' and neglect. I'm not even sure they took a lunch break. They did a terrific job and spent around 5 hours getting the house cleaned up. I felt the fee was reasonable."

"Needed carpet removed and hardwood put down in all my bedrooms. The work was done in a timely manner and price was negotiable. However, you need to use the company’s hardwood, which is of lower quality than what I initially wanted. Also, the workers spilled some stuff on my furniture, which landed me with random spots of dissolved stain on my tables and end tables. Financing 0% for 1yr was a plus though, so overall the choice worked well for me."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

If you don’t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won’t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased carpet repair costs over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.

If you have a concrete subfloor, you must secure the carpet padding with adhesive or glue. However, if you have a wooden subfloor, use staples instead. Removing a glued-down carpet can be difficult and time-consuming, so it’s best to avoid glue when possible.

If you’re using a carpet runner instead of a traditional carpet, pay attention to your width measurements. Instead of measuring the total width of your staircase with 2 added inches for foldover, simply measure the width you’d like the runner to cover. Runners generally come in standard sizes, so you may need to approximate what would look best in your space.

When deciding whether to repair or replace your carpet, consider its age, the extent of the damage, and its location. It's often best to replace the entire carpet if the damage is extensive, such as large sections needing replacement, or if it's caused by water, which can lead to mold problems. Similarly, if your carpet is nearing a decade old, replacement is likely the more logical choice. On the other hand, consider repairing your carpet if the damage is localized to one spot, like minor rips or snags, the carpet is still relatively new, or the damage is in a low-traffic area of your home.

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.
