"My carpet hadn’t been cleaned in years. So with 4 cats they got dirty and embedded with cat fur. I was told what the cleaning process was and after he was finished I totally amazed at how clean the carpets were. Had a great experience and would recommend them highly."

"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!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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. 

If the installer is unwilling to fix the problems and you’re not interested in seeking remediation, you could hide a visually unpleasant floor. This will only work if the floor is structurally sound and the only issue you have is the way it looks. The easiest way to do this is to use large area rugs. You can also paint the floor, although that’s a labor-intensive job if you want to go the DIY route.

In order to avoid long-lasting waves, indents, or sticking, it’s a good idea to wait at least 24 hours after fresh carpet is laid to put weighty furniture on top of it. However, you can begin walking on your new carpet right after it’s installed, and doing so can actually help it adhere to the floor better.

There are a couple of color options to consider when installing carpet in high-traffic areas (like entrances and stairways). Medium-toned colors and patterned carpets can work well in these parts of your home because dirt and stains can blend in easily. Dark carpets will also conceal marks and spills, but they show lint and other light-colored debris. Consider a medium brown or tan for your high-traffic areas. Either way, it’s best to avoid paler shades, like white and cream, which get dirty easily.

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.
