"We are beyond thrilled with the results of our carpet cleaning! After our dog quite nearly destroyed our carpet, we called Dani for a well needed cleaning. And wow, what a difference. Not only did he remove every trace of the mess (and the smell!), but the carpet looks and feels like new again. We honestly didn’t think it was possible. Dani was so professional, friendly, and incredibly thorough. We would choose Dani again and again! Highly recommend their services to anyone—especially pet owners."

"It was great. I needed a quick repair on a few panels as they were lifting up in high traffic areas. Juan explained more than once that it would only be a tempory fix unless the foundation was first corrected but for me, that was going to have to wait. Until that time, at least I won't be tripping over the floor now! Work was fast and he was able to come by on the weekend. Hopefully he can do another room for us in the future! Thanks so much."

"I'm selling my house and hired David to clean the carpet. David did an amazing job! He got all the trouble spots out that I was worried about. This is not a very high-quality rug since I bought the house remodeled and they put the rug in. Also it's about eight or nine years old. But David made it look brand new! I didn't have to replace the carpet. He saved me tons of money. And reasonably priced."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Nylon carpet is widely considered one of the most durable and longest-lasting options, typically lasting 12 to 15 years. Its durability comes from its high resistance to wear, tear, stains, fading, and abrasions. It also resists liquid spills, insects, mold, and mildew, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms and hallways. For even greater longevity, frieze or Berber carpets are excellent choices that can last up to 20 to 25 years.

Beyond the material, a carpet's construction is key to its durability. Low-pile carpets with short, tight loops hold up better against wear than high-pile options. As a synthetic material, nylon is available in a vast range of colors and styles and often feels remarkably soft.

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.

Yes, laying laminate over carpet may void the warranty of your flooring. Most laminate manufacturers specify installation over a suitable subfloor, not carpet. Deviating from these installation guidelines can invalidate the warranty. You should stick to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure warranty coverage, and you should always consult with professional laminate flooring installers near you if you have any concerns or questions regarding installation methods.

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.

It is not recommended to install or stretch a carpet without a power stretcher. Skipping essential tools like a power stretcher and a knee kicker will likely result in an improper installation, leaving you with wrinkles, creases, and an unappealing final look. While a knee kicker can provide some limited stretching for thinner carpets, it is not a proper substitute. Attempting to stretch a carpet by hand or with homemade tools can also shorten its lifespan. For the best results, you should buy or rent a stretcher. If you do not want to use a stretcher, it is better to hire a professional for the installation.
