"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Charles and the team at Floor Coverings International! From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing. Cheryl, their designer, made the entire process seamless—her expertise and keen eye for design helped me choose the perfect carpeting and vinyl plank flooring for my home. The installation team was not only incredibly skilled but also punctual, courteous, and super helpful throughout the entire process. They worked efficiently and paid attention to every detail, leaving no mess behind. Thanks to their outstanding work, my home looks completely transformed—almost like a brand-new house! If you’re looking for top-notch flooring, exceptional service, and a team that truly cares, I highly recommend Floor Coverings International. Thank you, Charles and team, for making this such a fantastic experience!"

"Gary and his son did a fantastic job on my 25 year old cream colored carpet. It looks just beautiful now. They came back a second time because, even though it looked perfect when they finished the first time, some "browning" spots emerged when it dried. These they took care of during the second trip. They also removed a stain that was on it. Previously I had used two other carpet cleaners which had completely failed to get it clean. McCoy Carpet Cleaner's has saved me from the huge expense of replacing this very old carpet!"

"The salesman Luke was very professional. The contractors that were used to install the flooring tried to short cut the installation process towards the end but was caught. If I use Empire Carpet in the future I will be specific in telling the salesman what my expectations are of the installation contractors."

"My light gray sofa from Ikea is 5 years old and it had it's share of coffee and food stains. I hired Mexi Maids to steam cleaning it at my apartment. The guy did a great job, worked without making a mess and was most gracious. I would hire Mexi Maids again in a heartbeat because my sofa looks brand new! Very satisfied!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

You can expect your carpet protection to last about six months to two years. It will last longer in low-traffic areas (compared to busy areas, where your carpet experiences more wear and tear). Once the protector wears off, you’ll need to call your carpet contractor to reapply the stain protection treatment and revive your carpet. 

Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to install carpet over concrete, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive.

Decent carpet will last around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You’ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.

Costs depend on carpet quality, labor, underlayment, and furniture moving requirements.
