"Israel and his team were beyond professional and left my 3 year old carpets AND sofas looking as close to new as possible. They were polite, efficient and also went out of their way to make sure this highly strung customer (it's me :) was happy. I would definitely recommend this business for any carpet cleaning needs."

"The carpet in my apartment was in very much need of repair. The carpet was installed in 2005 and had started to show signs of rolling due to the poor installation. Moser Carpet Repair was able to remove 2 inches of excess carpet around the entire living room area of my 1 bedroom apartment. The excess carpet was the reason why the carpet was rolling and needed to be stretched. I'm very happy beyond words with the very professional and thorough job Moser Carpet Repair was able to provide. Brandon was very detailed with his estimate and worked with me in providing an estimate for my landlord for the carpet stretching. Brandon, was very informative about the process he would use to insure that all of my concerns would be handled. Also, Brandon was very flexible in scheduling the appointment and informing of what I had to do before the appointment. I highly recommend Brandon if you are ever in need of carpet repair of any type!"

"Wesley came over and helped me assemble two consoles and one buffet. He moved the furniture to the desired locations and cleaned everything up after. He was also well versed to work in a space with dogs since I had two pups in the house. I would highly recommend him!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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 is an effective natural insulator, so it will make a room slightly warmer than laminate. The material’s insulating properties also make carpeted rooms more efficient for temperature regulation.

You may get better coverage painting your baseboards if you do so before carpet is installed. The best course of action may be to attempt to paint them between having the old floor removed and the new floor laid, though this will render the room unusable for a period of time and may make the entire project a bit slower overall.

You can expect your carpet protection to last about six months to two years. It will last longer in low-traffic areas (compared to busy areas, where your carpet experiences more wear and tear). Once the protector wears off, you’ll need to call your carpet contractor to reapply the stain protection treatment and revive your carpet

In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.
