"A home is a very personal, sacred place, so it is nerve-racking to trust a stranger and their "expertise" with your home, especially having been burned by different, previous contractor; however, trust me when I say this: you will be in good hand with California Crews. The crew arrived promptly early in the morning, worked really hard throughout the day, cleaned up the property before I arrived home each day, and always kept an open, professional line of communication. Some may have been born a green thumb; unfortunately, I have been graced with a brown thumb. I kill every plant I come in contact with. Luckily, Joel was patient enough to pick the plants for us, which worked out very well. I completely trust his expertise. With California Crews, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. California Crews did an immaculate job on landscaping and taming a beast of a yard. We've already received compliments and positive feedback from neighbors (they're also probably grateful that California Crews got rid of my knee-high weeds too, haha). THANK YOU so much."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction and friction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls. Additionally, if a fall does occur, carpet offers more cushioning, which can lessen the severity of an injury. While hard surfaces can look great, they are often more slippery. However, it's worth noting that some carpets, especially if they are new, dirty, or have a slick texture, can also pose a slipping hazard. To improve safety on any type of stair surface, you can add traction treads to increase grip.

Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is five to 15 years. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.

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.

Your room doesn’t need to be completely empty to restretch a carpet, but you’ll need enough space that you can move around furniture to access the wrinkled areas and the wall where you’re reattaching the carpet. A contractor will move your furniture out of the way before they start the job, but you can save money by moving your furniture before they arrive.

You can save money on labor costs by removing your old carpet before the professionals come in to install the new carpet. Just make sure to clear it with your contractor ahead of time. You might also be able to cut costs by buying carpet at certain times of year when it’s less expensive. These periods include late December to mid-January and late spring to early summer.
