"Everything about Fred and Rainbow Carpet Cleaning were first class. Came out right away and gave an estimate. We took several months to need the service and Fred remembered us right away and scheduled the job ASAP for us. Right on time and they did an awesome job of making our dingy carpet look great. All at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend."

"We couldn't be happier with Dominick's carpet stretching and cleaning. Our carpeting in our entire house needed stretching in every room. Angel was on time, worked hard all day stretching out carpeting. He came back the next day to clean our carpets, move furniture, very friendly, plus my carpet looks like NEW, stains gone, bumps gone and very professionally done. His prices are very fair and we highly recommend Dominick's Carpet Stretching and Cleaning."

"The carpets were horribly dirty and looked much better after cleaning but still had several stains remaining (probably Not due to the cleaner but the prior tenant).

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible for small areas. Professional installation ensures proper stretching and a polished finish.

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.

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.

Carpet tiles come with a preexisting adhesive backing, which means installing them is as simple as peeling off the paper and sticking them down where they need to go. In other words, no. You won’t need to purchase any separate glue to get your carpet squares situated. It’s already built into the carpet tile itself.

The average cost to install new flooring is around $3,162, with a typical price range between $1,530 and $4,860. On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay an average of $3 to $22, including installation. Several factors influence the total price, including the flooring material, project size, geographic location, and any special features. Material choice is a significant cost driver; vinyl plank, linoleum, and carpet are on the lower end ($3 to $7 per square foot), while stone, tile, and hardwood are more expensive, with hardwood reaching up to $22 per square foot. Prices can also vary by region, and installing flooring on stairs will add to the cost, typically ranging from $11 to $160 per step.
