"When I called for an estimate I was surprised at how quickly Mr. Straus was able to come. I knew the carpeting I wanted and he was able to get it in a reasonable time. (The carpet had to be run specially by the manufacturer.) When my remodel slowed down, he was very flexible about re-scheduling the date of installation to meet my new needs. The installation was painless, with workers arriving exactly when they said they would, cleaning up after themselves, and making seams that were almost invisible, with a single exception. When I wrote Mr. Straus that my worry was not about the lack of invisibility of a single seam but the fear it might unravel with time. He guaranteed he would fix it if that happened. He built so much trust in my dealings with him that I happily accepted his promise. I recommend Mr. Straus both for

"Alan did a terrific job. I've been using him for many years and can always count on him for first rate steam cleaning. This year he had new equipment which he described as the rolls royce of steam cleaners. It was clearly much more powerful and left the carpet much drier than in the past.

"We had over 1800 SqF of new flooring installed and couldn't be happier. BayAreaMagicFlooring helped us through every stage of the project. Started with material selection, then scheduling the work, demolishing old carpets and finally laying new flooring and baseboards. Majid is very understanding and flexible. As a customer I see this as a big plus. The project was completed in a timely manner and just looks perfect. I would go back to them for the next job - highly recommended. :)"

"Mr. Silva was professional and extremely helpful.  We threw him a curveball by being very far from where he could park his van, but he worked to figure out a solution to the issue and remained friendly and accommodating throughout.  Overall, a great experience and I would definitely use him again.

"Have to agree with the recent D reviewer. Went with them becuase they were the cheapest - floors look good but still rough to the touch so called them and hopefully they'll fix it and put another coat of sealant on. At least they were responsive without giving me a hard time. The smell is pretty awful, something I hadn't thought about, and thankfully we won't be moving in for another 2 weeks but it could be a major issue for someone who still lives in the house. Would go with a more expensive vendor next time.

UPDATE: I wrote a review last week and gave them a C because the floors were still rough and the smell was quite powerful. When I called, they were very responsive and came out and resealed the floors and now they look great and the smell is almost gone. I was impressed at how responsive they were. I would use them again after they came out and fixed the problem."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is five to 15 years. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.

While it may not always be ideal, you can fix a squeaky floorboard without removing the carpet. Pros use specialized carpet screws and drive them through the carpet into the subfloor, securing floorboards. They may also use nails instead of screws if they suspect the pile will get caught in the screw. While some types of carpet will hide the screws and nails, a low-pile carpet may not.

Carpet stretching can be a worthwhile investment to increase the lifespan of your carpet and eliminate unsightly wrinkles, ridges, and ripples. For an older carpet that is in relatively good condition aside from some wrinkling or bubbling, restretching can make it look like new and extend its life by at least a couple of years. You should consider restretching when you notice looseness or other related issues.

However, it's important to note that stretching will not fix issues like stains, wear in the pile, or discoloration. Consider replacing the carpet instead if the repair cost is more than 50% of the price of a new one. Additionally, if your carpet is past its expected lifespan of five to 15 years, or if it has been stretched multiple times already, replacement is likely a better option.

Regular vacuuming is essential in homes with animals and children to remove pet hair, dirt, and debris from the carpet's surface. Additionally, prompt cleaning of spills and accidents can prevent stains from setting in. Consider using carpet protectors or area rugs in high-traffic areas to minimize wear and tear on your new carpeting.

Carpet stretching isn’t permanent, but it can last anywhere from two to six years. The longevity of this project depends on the quality of the carpet and whether it’s in a high-traffic area. You might not be able to stretch old or damaged carpets because they can tear. Certain fibers, like nylon, stretch better than others.
