"Scott did an excellent job from beginning to end. He returns calls promptly in a professional manner, and scheduled the job quickly. When on site he confirmed prices before starting the work and the carpets came up great. I wasn't really sure how well the tile floor would look after cleaning, it has been down a few years. The kitchen tile flooring looked like new after he had finished! I will not waste time and energy DIY again as his results were amazing! He even left me few shoe protectors to use while the carpet fully dried. Highly recommend Scott and will use Pac Pro Cleaning again."

"George is the man. He consistently gets me great carpets at a great price, is friendly, punctual, professional, and does a fantastic job. You don't need anyone else to do your carpet. I've used several outfits in the past, and I've had the best, most reliable experience with Carpet Time. Highly, highly recommend.

"Good work and excellent results. Marcus and his worker came over and cleaned the carpet at my house in a very professional way. They were very polite and nice guys. They worked for close to 3 hours cleaning each room and made sure that the carpet came out clean as close to new. Their price was set between me and the office and they were able to give me a reasonable price for that job. I will definitely use them in the future.

"It was a pleasure doing business with this company ! We needed a rush order, because someone was coming out of the hospital.  Andre helped us to accomplish this goal.  He is helped us pick the perfect carpet for the house. They go overboard to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. The  workers were friendly and capable.  They cleaned everything up as well.  I am definitely a repeat customer!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it’s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.

When it comes to flooring installers, licensing laws vary from state to state. Even if your state doesn’t require your flooring installer to have a license, your municipality or city might, so it’s a good idea to check with your town before getting started. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines. 

Hiring an unlicensed flooring installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

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.

If you don’t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won’t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased carpet repair costs over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
