"Always Improve Flooring has done four jobs for me since 2015: 1. Installing new oak flooring in my kitchen and office and refinishing the rest of the oak flooring on the first floor of my house; 2. Refinishing wood flooring in two of my rental units; and 3. Leveling the floor of my garage and then installing new oak flooring as I was converting the garage into an ADU. Their workmanship was excellent. I am very happy with their work. Juan Hernandez, the owner, is very responsive. I found his pricing to be reasonable and he stuck with the quoted price. I strongly recommend Juan and his company."

"Great! They have a large selection of carpet, the staff is helpful and informed and there is a wide variety for every budget. Everything went well from ordering to installation for both jobs. I was able to find nice, budget-friendly, durable carpet for the rental and the tenants were very happy. I have always wanted luxurious, pink carpet in my master bedroom and they had exactly what I was looking for. I am beyond thrilled and I absolutely love it! Photo attached. I will definitely go to Valley Carpet One for all of my future carpet and flooring needs!."

"We had many quotes and Mike Pillar was certainly not the lowest, but we'd read great things from Angies list. We couldn't be happier. From the beginning Wendy (the saleslady) was very patient with showing us everything she thought appropriate to our tastes. After many samples back and forth to our home, we were finally ready. Mike came to the house, measured everything, and took special notice of kitchen/bathroom transitions plus a weird fitting french door we had just installed. Our specific flooring was on back order so we had to wait 4 weeks for it to come in, which it did right on time.
For the install, day one was carpet removal, grinding old tar off the concrete and floor leveling. Everything was covered and a few heavy objects were moved to the garage. Days two and three were actually laying the wood. The crew answered my many questions and took special care to make the room transitions flush, as opposed to putting in those wood risers that people trip over. The areas around the french doors really look great.
A couple days later we noticed an unforeseen problem and the next day they were back and fixed it in a jiffy. No problems found since. I installed the baseboards myself so I can't comment on what type of job they do on those. Compliments keep pouring in from our friends and neighbors so we won't hesitate to recommend them in the future.

"This guy I the best. Worth every penny. My floors had holes and were shaking. My mom is in a wheel chair so this is not acceptable. Not only did he reinforce and level the floor he also recommended the right type of flooring. He truly went above and beyond. I would give him 10 stars it I could. ✨️"

"It went great. Laurie and Dave were very professional and easy to communicate with. Dave and his team did excellent work, paying attention to detail and always concerned with doing the best work rather than just getting it done quick. They installed flooring and baseboard in my entire 1400 sq ft house, including kitchen and bathrooms, and it all looks great."

"We are very pleased with our two flooring projects that Harvey and his team completed for us - a luxury vinyl plank install and a hardwood floor refinishing. Harvey was very professional and he and his team were very easy to work with. They got the job done in the time stated, his pricing was very reasonable and we are very happy with the work. Thank you, Harvey!"

Flooring 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.

Yes, you can recycle most types of carpet. If you hire a pro to remove your old carpet, ask about their carpet disposal process. Many companies will recycle the carpeting, but if yours doesn’t, you can ask them to take it to a recycling center for you (although there might be an additional fee). Alternatively, you can hire a junk hauling service or contact a carpet recycling organization (like CARE).

Vacuum regularly, clean spills promptly, and schedule professional deep cleaning annually.

In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.

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.
