"I am really pleased with how my carpet turned out, the installation was fast and it looks great. It felt a little expensive, even after negotiating the price down a bit, but I am a firm believer you get what you pay for and my carpet looks great so I have no regrets."

"We feel so fortunate to have found William Solis. He did a fantastic job with our carpets which I felt were hopeless and we had unexpected guests coming to stay a while. Several months ago I came home with two dogs rescued from a shelter to add to one very imperious mini dachshund. Shortly afterward in a tangle with the three of them and a gate I fell, tearing a tendon in one leg and breaking 2 wrists. Needless to say dog training fell into neglect. Along with the last in line housework. On short notice William came to help, he came to view the scene the same day he answered my advertisement and did the job the next day. He was precisely on time. He worked very, very hard and steadily for all the time he was here. He had excellent, new, top of the line equipment. My husband, Peter, was a golf course superintendent for many years and appreciates hard work and well tended equipment. Peter recently retired of necessity because of a serious neck injury and we really needed Williams help. I want to add that we both liked William so very much. He is a kind and gracious gentleman and any one would be happy to have him as a friend. He is clearly honest, dependable and generous and his fee reflected these characteristics"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Professional installation ensures seamless fitting, extended carpet life, and compliance with workplace standards.

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.

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.

Deciding whether to clean or replace your carpet depends on its condition and age. If cleaning no longer resolves issues, it's time to consider a replacement. Key signs that you need to replace your carpet include:

  • Stains that are impossible to remove.

  • A persistent smell that lingers even after cleaning.

  • An increase in allergy symptoms.

  • The age of the carpet. Most manufacturers state that carpets should last about 10 years with proper care.

When cleaning is no longer effective, you should replace the carpet with a new one or consider other flooring options like vinyl or laminate.
