"After a water leak we needed to replace carpet in our hallway and den. Valley Carpet One and Sandy Sanchez took very good care of us and the install was flawless. Sandy helped us match the carpet to our existing carpet and it looks beautiful. We would highly recommend Valley Carpet One. They have an amazing new showroom where we were able to find just what we needed."

"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.

"Moe did a great job on our carpets and upholstery. Our drapes were cleaned in place rather than taking them down. That was a good decision because the drapes are old and could not have with stood dry cleaning, and he was able remove water damage stains. I highly recommend All Shine Carpet Care."

"We visited the business several times before deciding to purchase carpet there. The owner was professional and provided information without being pushy. He came to our house to measure and provide a quote. The installers were efficient and completed the job in a day. They did not charge to move the furniture (the other businesses we looked into did). We could probably have paid less at Home Depot or someplace similar, but we were interested in patronizing a small business that used their own employees to install the carpet instead of contracting out. The carpet was installed in September and we have been very happy with it. I would recommend Carpet Time highly."

"when I called GTS Future Cleaning Services to clean my carpets I was not sure how the results would turn out. My carpets were worn and needed to be replaced. I gave them a shot and could not be happier with the results! My cream carpets were sparkling when the technician left my home. One of the best parts of the service is how fast your carpets dry! Highly recommend GTS Future Cleaning Services!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Carpeting has a few benefits on stairs in addition to being a cost-effective floor covering. It absorbs sound, dampening footsteps. It also provides additional traction, which is especially important if you install linoleum floors, epoxy flooring, or any other floor covering that can become slippery if you’re wearing socks. Therefore, carpets can help prevent slips. 

If you want your carpet to last as long as possible, then yes, you need to install carpet padding. Carpet padding creates a layer of protection between the back of your carpet and the floor beneath it, which decreases friction and reduces wear and tear. Aside from that, carpet padding also helps absorb noise and makes your carpet feel more comfortable underfoot.

A transition piece between carpet stairs and wood flooring isn't always necessary. A transition piece separates two types of flooring in between rooms and areas, like carpet and vinyl. Because the carpet on the stairs tucks into the seam, you can’t see the fringes, and there is no need to hide anything. However, you can use a stair cap if your stairs have a nose.

Spring and fall are the best seasons for installing carpet. Both seasons benefit from moderate temperatures and low humidity levels, which can help the carpet acclimate to the room and settle properly once installed. However, installing carpet during the winter months could result in lower costs, as demand for this service is low.
