"Eric called me on Sunday after I was looking for a carpet cleaner on Angi's. He cam over to look and gave me an estimate. He came with his son on Monday and cleaned carpets in our whole house. He set up fans to help dry the carpets. Both he and his son were very friendly and respectful. I will highly recommend them."

"I was very pleased with Juan Carlos. My office carpet was really dirty - my dog shares the office! He also did a bedroom carpet and a living room carpet. The carpets were really clean and the price was very reasonable."

"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

"I had coupon for 3 rooms + hallway----I seem to recall it was for $125.. Carpets were badly stained, and required DEEP cleaning. Once he was there, he agreed to do whole apt. for $100, which was far below even his extremely reasonable "coupon" price.
Not only was his price unbelievably low, but he was timely, courteous, AND his work made the apartment look like it had just been re-carpeted!!
This service was TERRIFIC in every respect.

"Debbie in customer service is very organized, polite and quick to respond to questions and requests. Saul and his crew did a great job on our wood and ceramic floors. I had discussed with him exactly what I wanted the final design to look like and he made some suggestions on how to make it happen. I felt there was a bit of a lack of communication between the installers and the office; as well as the installers and me the client. If I hadn't checked in every morning they would've finished the job without calling me at all, and there were a few things that I had them correct. Overall I am happy with the job they did and the price compared to some of the other bids we got. We ended up running out of the stair molding because we underestimated the length that we needed; SW sent Saul out again 2 weeks later to finish those few steps."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to install carpet over concrete, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive.

Yes, nylon carpets are suitable for homes with allergies due to their hypoallergenic properties. Nylon fibers are resistant to mold and mildew growth, minimizing allergen accumulation in the carpet. Additionally, nylon carpets are often treated to repel moisture and stains, further reducing the risk of allergens and promoting a healthier indoor environment for allergy sufferers.

While it is possible to install carpet yourself, it is a challenging DIY project that requires precise measurement, proper cutting skills, and knowledge of correct installation techniques. The process involves multiple steps, including removing old flooring, installing underlayment and tack strips, and stretching the carpet to prevent wrinkles, which can take several days to complete.

Before starting, consider these factors:

  • Warranty: Many manufacturers' warranties are voided if the carpet is not installed by a professional.

  • Tools: You will need to buy or rent specialized equipment like a knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller.

  • Complexity: DIY installation is most suitable for simple, straightforward rooms. Projects involving stairs or floor vents are significantly more difficult.

  • Cost: While you can save on labor, the cost of tools plus the risk of expensive mistakes—which may require re-installation—can make hiring a professional more cost-effective in the long run.

Given the potential for errors, voided warranties, and the need for special tools, hiring a local carpet installer is often recommended to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

When installing carpeting on your steps, start at the top and work your way to the bottom. That way, you can easily control the carpet and create a better seal. This approach prevents the carpet from bunching up or creating wrinkles as you work. You’ll have better leverage over it as gravity helps guide it down each step.

A 65-oz. carpet is good, and in many cases, it indicates a premium carpet. Most carpets for homes should fall in the range of 40 to 60 ounces for face weight. If a carpet has a 65-oz. face weight, it is likely more durable and long-lasting than a similar carpet with a lower face weight. Carpet face weight is just one factor in determining a carpet’s quality.
