"Carpet King did a great job cleaning my carpets and my large living room couch. They came on time, cleaned everything extremely well and finished their work promptly. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

"I called Scott because of all the wonderful reviews that he received on Angie's list.  I must say, he did not disappoint.  He called 10 minutes before his arrival time to inform me that he was running 15 minutes behind schedule and asked me if that was still ok.  I always appreciate a phone call when people can't be on time so that was his first brownie point.  He was extremely pleasant and I could tell that he aimed to please.  He did not push me to get certain carpets cleaned that he felt didn't need it and was very helpful in giving me tips on how to wash my white slipcovers. He did a great job and promised that if for any reason I wasn't happy with the cleaning that he would come back free of charge.  He also gave us some spot cleaner and some shoe covers if we needed to walk over the still wet carpets.  I would highly recommend Scott and PacPro Clean and will definitely plan to use him again in the future.

"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.

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.

  • The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.

  • Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

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.

Deciding whether to clean or replace your carpet depends on its condition and age. If cleaning no longer resolves issues, it's time to consider a replacement. Key signs that you need to replace your carpet include:

  • Stains that are impossible to remove.

  • A persistent smell that lingers even after cleaning.

  • An increase in allergy symptoms.

  • The age of the carpet. Most manufacturers state that carpets should last about 10 years with proper care.

When cleaning is no longer effective, you should replace the carpet with a new one or consider other flooring options like vinyl or laminate.

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.

While not always required, experts recommend removing baseboards before removing old carpet and installing a new one. This practice leads to a smoother process and a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. Removing the baseboards allows for a seamless carpet installation without the risk of damaging either the carpet or the trim. It also provides a good opportunity to repaint or stain the baseboards and inspect the underlying wall for any issues. If you prefer a quicker option, you can carefully cut the old carpet along the edge of the baseboards, but this may result in a less polished installation for the new carpet.
