"Excellent. They did an amazing job cleaning the carpeting in my sister's apt. I never thought it was possible to get the stains out of her carpeting. I would highly recommend that you hire Gary and his son Gary for your project."

"I hired Xtreme Cleaning to clean my carpet and tile/grout. They did an excellent job. The 10 year old carpet looks brand new and the tile and grout look very clean and refreshed. Jimmy and his assistant showed up 15 minutes early which was a nice surprise. They wore booties over their shoes and were very careful to put up protective barriers around the corners to prevent any damage from the hoses touching my walls. I will definitely recommend Jimmy and Xtreme Ccleaning to my friends and family and use them for my carpet/tile/upholstery cleaning needs in the future."

"The salesman Luke was very professional. The contractors that were used to install the flooring tried to short cut the installation process towards the end but was caught. If I use Empire Carpet in the future I will be specific in telling the salesman what my expectations are of the installation contractors."

"It was a small job where carpeting needed to be installed in the hallway. I had the carpet and padding. Contacted Fausto Construction. Saul reached out to me within 24 hrs. Came by two days later, submitted quote and three days later the carpet was installed and looks amazing. Customer service was excellent both from Saul and his team. I will definitely reach out to Fausto Construction for future projects. Thank you Saul for making this project so easy for me."

"It was wonderful to have a pro take our carpets to his work area and bring them back looking beautiful and clean. He even helped us move our dining room table and chairs, put the rug down, and put the furniture back!! He's fun to chat with too!"

"Sent out Silk Rug with urine damage, got back in beautiful condition. Great service and excellent communications. A rather expensive Turkish silk rug (at least for me!), I was worried to just ship it off to an unknown company but Fred was great! Thanks Soleimani Antique Rugs as Mystical Art!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls, and its cushioning can lessen the severity of an injury if a fall does occur. Hard surfaces often lack the friction needed for a secure tread and can be quite slippery.

However, it's worth noting that some carpets can also be slick, particularly if they are brand new, dirty, or made from certain materials. If any stair surface feels too slippery, traction treads can be added to most materials to increase grip and improve safety.

Carpet installers use furniture sliders or blankets to protect your furniture during the installation process. They handle each piece with care to minimize the risk of damage. Additionally, they may employ techniques such as lifting and shifting furniture rather than dragging it across the floor to prevent scratches or other marks. If you have particularly delicate or heavy items that need to be moved, discuss special handling with the installers beforehand.

Carpets in earthy, neutral shades should go with everything. Specifically, colors like beige, cream, and gray pair well with other neutrals and more vibrant colors. If you’re concerned about your carpet clashing with your walls or furniture, stay away from loud colors and complicated patterns, which could distract from the rest of your decor.

When it comes to flooring installers, licensing laws vary from state to state. Even if your state doesn’t require your flooring installer to have a license, your municipality or city might, so it’s a good idea to check with your town before getting started. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines. 

Hiring an unlicensed flooring installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
