"They answered their phone! Came out the same day to give me an estimate to stretch my rugs and were able to do the job the next day. I was very impressed with this company from start to finish. I would highly recommend them."

"Pros from start to fantastic finish. Horacio came in and gave us an estimate we thought was such a good deal, we added a room and a stairwell carpeting and we could still afford it. He was courteous, listened to questions, and took time to answer. We told him we would get back to him after our other estimates. The national company with the phone number jingle came next. The first thing that person did was talk trash about a competitor, try to scare us that only a structural engineer could possibly handle our (lumpy, slopey) floor, and while he was coming up with an estimate number, told us "the chinamen in my tablet are taking a long time thinking about this." Generally against racism, so we knew he was out, but he scared us with his floor assessment. We called VRP back and explained our concerns, and Horacio came out AGAIN the very next day (free of charge), heard the concerns, and came up with a solution that did not increase our estimate. We scheduled right then. When the work day came, they were on time and went straight to it. They worked 8 to 3 ripping out our old carpet and installing new carpet and vinyl plank. It looks amazing!! They must have structural engineers in the family, because the "issue" the national guy tried to scare us with was no issue for them. I really couldn't be happier. I'll call them to re-do the kitchen floors when we're ready. Hire these people, you will be so happy you did. Check out the before and after of the stairs and the floor! Less"

"We scheduled an in-house estimate for replacing our family room carpet with wood and replacing upstairs carpet. The sales person came in on time but he was not interested in listening to what we wanted. He had very limited choice of wood floors and only two choices of carpets. His behavior was pretty condescending. When we asked him to estimate for carpet replacement in our bedrooms, he said and quot;it will be expensiveand quot;. We had researched before calling him and hence were not as ignorant as he thought us to be. We also had an idea of the price for the service we were asking for. In fact, his estimate was close to our expectation. But when we were asking for other possible options (since he had limited choices) he said if and quot; we can afford a Ford then Mercedes will seem expensiveand quot;. Who talks to customers like that? when we said we need to think this over since we have a few more estimates to check, he said we have to decide immediately . We wanted him to leave the estimate so that we could think it over. He declined and left. What a waste of time!

"Maximo completed my basement and kitchen. He did exceptional work, not only did it come out to be beautiful but everything was great quality. Price was fair and he followed through with everything that he said he would do. He came when he said he would and was very respectful and friendly. I’ve been getting compliments from his jobs and would definitely recommend him for any of your flooring needs!"

"sunset tropical is very professional and knows how to clean a house. She also offers carpet cleaning through her brother-in-law, and he is fantastic. I hired her to clean both the house I moved out of and the one I moved into, and my former landlord said he was impressed at how clean the house was. I've used other cleaning companies, but maria and her team have been the best so far. She is now cleaning my current house bi-weekly"

"I have worked with Brian for many years.  In the past, he has removed the soffit from the front of my house in preparation for painting it.  He also installed a new front door.  Inside, he replaced carpeting in the upstairs bedroomsand installed a fan in the family room - with no electrical box in the ceiling prior to installation. 
I just had him do a kitchen and bathroom remodel.  In the kitchen, he took out all the cabinets, countertops, appliances and
fluorescent light fixture.  Brian installed recessed lighting in it's place, repaired and painted the ceiling.  This meant adding new circuits for these lights as well as the new under cabinet lighting. New cabinets with crown molding, sink and faucet, granite countertops, garbage disposal,  and appliances were brought into my small working kitchen with extreme effiency.  In the middle of the job, my hot water heater went.  Within 36 hours he had a new one delivered and running.
The 2 bathrooms required taking vanities, tiolets and the shower/tub out.  Brian installed new vanities, granite countertops, sinks and faucets, toilets and a tub with a shower surround.  This invovled new plumbing and carpentry as nothing was plumb!  He also replaced the light fixture with a light /exhaust fan combo. 
One thing leads to another, so I decided to Have him remove an old fan from the stairwelland put recessed lights in it's place.  I wanted a fan in my bedroom, again with no electricy source in the ceiling so he did all the electrical work to make that happen. 
His work is impeccable.  I am so impressed with his knowledge and skill set.  My basement is the next thing I want to do.  I'll be calling Brian again when I'm ready for that job!

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

If you want to save money on carpet repairs, there are a few ways to save without sacrificing quality. Some options you have include:

  • Cleaning set-in stains by renting a steam cleaner or using DIY carpet cleaning methods. 

  • Prepare the area for repairing yourself, such as moving furniture, to avoid unnecessary fees.

  • Protect high-traffic areas with a runner rug to avoid excessive wear and tear.

Professionals ensure effective adhesion by choosing the right adhesive for the materials, preparing surfaces properly, and applying pressure as needed. This attention to detail ensures durable connections in various applications from construction to repairs.

When deciding whether to repair or replace your carpet, consider its age, the extent of the damage, and its location. It's often best to replace the entire carpet if the damage is extensive, such as large sections needing replacement, or if it's caused by water, which can lead to mold problems. Similarly, if your carpet is nearing a decade old, replacement is likely the more logical choice. On the other hand, consider repairing your carpet if the damage is localized to one spot, like minor rips or snags, the carpet is still relatively new, or the damage is in a low-traffic area of your home.

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.

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction and friction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls. Additionally, if a fall does occur, carpet offers more cushioning, which can lessen the severity of an injury. While hard surfaces can look great, they are often more slippery. However, it's worth noting that some carpets, especially if they are new, dirty, or have a slick texture, can also pose a slipping hazard. To improve safety on any type of stair surface, you can add traction treads to increase grip.
