"The 1st Resort team was professional, quick, and were on time. The results were great. Given the age of the carpet, they were able to make the carpet look almost new again!"

"Kody did an excellent job cleaning our carpets! He was professional, friendly, and arrived on time. He took the time to explain the process and made sure everything was done thoroughly. Our carpets look and smell so much better, and he was able to get out stains I didn’t think would come out. You can tell he takes pride in his work. I highly recommend Kody and Mile High Carpet Cleaning to anyone looking for quality carpet cleaning. We’ll definitely use them again!"

"Leila and her workers have always been nothing but professional and perfectionists in their work each time they came to our home. They go over and beyond what ordinary service companies would provide. They are consist and clean everything in sight and out-of-sight. They clean the oven, refrigerator, baseboards, carpet, walls, doors, etc. We are selling our home in Denver and wish we could take them with us. I would highly recommend Blue Bucket Cleaning for any and all of your cleaning needs."

"The entire experience with Denver Carpet & Flooring was great. I was very anxious about such a big job and investment, 1,420 sq ft of laminate in the whole house, stairs included. Kevin and his install crew did an amazing job with incredible attention to detail and professionalism. Thank you so much, I would definitely recommend."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

If you have a concrete subfloor, you must secure the carpet padding with adhesive or glue. However, if you have a wooden subfloor, use staples instead. Removing a glued-down carpet can be difficult and time-consuming, so it’s best to avoid glue when possible.

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.

It’s a good idea to install a rug pad under the carpet for your stairs. To make the pad fit, you’ll need to cut one section for each stair tread that’s about one inch narrower than the stair runner so that it won’t be visible once the carpet is installed on top.

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls, and its cushioning can lessen the severity of an injury if a fall does occur. Hard surfaces often lack the friction needed for a secure tread and can be quite slippery.

However, it's worth noting that some carpets can also be slick, particularly if they are brand new, dirty, or made from certain materials. If any stair surface feels too slippery, traction treads can be added to most materials to increase grip and improve safety.

The costs range from $3 to $10 per square foot, depending on the carpet type, labor, and subfloor preparation.
