"They were amazing! They were great at communicating all the way up to the appointment, which I appreciate. Then when the crew got here they were all very professional and conscientious and went above and beyond what I even expected. They had to work really hard on some tough stains, but they got them out. ? I was impressed that they stayed even longer than they anticipated to make sure everything was done 100%. Great experience with St. Luis carpet cleaning."

"These folks have been helping me for three years. Since day one they have been consistently conscientious, professional, thorough, and efficient and even do it all with smiles and laughter. My home sparkles when they leave! I recently asked them to clean my outside propane BBQ, as it is getting difficult for me (I am almost 80) to do myself. It is clean and shining and ready to use again. I cannot say enough positive things about this whole team, from the husband who always answers the phone and seems to be the one coordinating the jobs, to the lovely ladies who do the actual cleaning. I am very happy to have them all! and heartily recommend them!"

"Bryan was very knowledgeable about the stains in my carpet. He acknowledged that one particular stain has worked its way into the interior part of the carpet and would likely work its way to the top of the carpet again over time. Eventually, with multiple cleanings, the stain would be gone. I appreciated the facts. He was friendly, efficient and did a great job."

"There were several hours late, but did call to explain another job was taking longer.  I think someone just forgot us, and then discovered and roused up another truck to come out and do our job.  That said, they did show up, do good work.  I had not used a carpet cleaner in several years and thought $180 a bit much for a one room and stairs, but others seem to think this is the current rate.  The carpets did look very good.

"We had lots of pet stains to deal with. The carpet came out very wet and after a day a very strong odor was being detected. I called and left a message, but there was a weekend that delayed a response. I talked with our person who cleaned, told him about the problem. He said it was the padding, to wait two more days and then call him. He said they would return then and spray more enzyme. I am to call on Thursday (this is Tuesday). Hopefully the odor problem will then be resolved, The carpeting itself looks beautiful!!"

"These people were very professional both during the interview process and during the actual cleaning of my home. They did a detailed, deep cleaning of my entire home and did an outstanding job of it. They were very careful when handling my decorative objects. They were very friendly nice people and I have nothing but great praise for their work. I am going to continue to use their service and would highly recommend them to others."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

The cost to install carpet is $1,780 on average for 330 square feet, the size of an average living room. This cost could range from $200 to $5,000, depending on the amount of carpet, material, and type of carpet. 

If you need 500 square feet of carpet, it’ll cost $1,500 to $5,500, while 1,000 square feet of carpet costs $3,000 to $11,000. Polyester is one of the more affordable options, ranging from $1 to $3 per square foot. Wool is a more luxurious option, ranging from $4 to $20 per square foot

Yes, you can negotiate the purchase price of new carpet. You may also be able to negotiate installation costs or other fees in addition to the per-foot pricing of the carpet itself. You may have better luck negotiating with an independent retailer (as opposed to a big-box store), as they may have more discretion in pricing, but it’s always worth asking.

Spring and fall are the best seasons for installing carpet. Both seasons benefit from moderate temperatures and low humidity levels, which can help the carpet acclimate to the room and settle properly once installed. However, installing carpet during the winter months could result in lower costs, as demand for this service is low.

Some flooring companies recycle old carpet after replacing it. The broader flooring industry has been moving toward recycling more carpet material. However, whether an individual carpet gets recycled is up to the flooring company that removes it. When gathering quotes for new flooring in your area, ask each company about removal options and what they do with the material.
