"I called Eric at King Carpet. Eric called me back and came out looked at the carpet sent me a estimate which i approved online. Eric called to set up a day to come out and clean carpet. I came into work the next day and couldn't believe it was the same carpet. All the stains were gone the carpet was clean and looked new again. Eric called me when he was leaving left me a message locked up. Very proffesional and very pleasant. Price for the work he did was very resonable. I would tell anyone that needs there carpets cleaned to call Eric you won't be sorry. I will recommend him to anyone looking to get there carpets cleaned."

"Impressive Air Duct Cleaning Service - Improved Air Quality! I recently had the pleasure of using VenWorx for their Air Duct Cleaning and Dryer/Bathroom Vent Cleaning services, and I must say, the results were outstanding. From the moment they completed the job, I noticed a remarkable difference in the air quality within my home. VenWorx's team of professionals opened my eyes to the importance of this service for maintaining a healthy living environment. It's incredible how something as simple as air duct cleaning could make such a significant impact on my daily life. I highly recommend VenWorx to anyone looking to improve their home's air quality. Don't make the same assumption I did; your furnace filter alone might not be enough to tackle all the hidden dust and debris in your ducts and vents. VenWorx's efficient and friendly team is equipped to handle the job, leaving you with a fresher, healthier living space."

"VRP was exceptional. They removed our old carpet, installed new wood flooring and did it quickly, quietly and professionally. We never even knew they were here except for the beautiful floors which replaced the carpet. We would absolutely use them again and I would recommend this company to anyone thinking of wood flooring!! Communication was also wonderful!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

In most cases, carpeting isn’t kind to the wood that it’s attached to. Most carpet installation uses adhesive or nailing strips, both of which will damage wood. Conversely, you can choose to use an adhesive designed to be removed from wood, in which case carpeting can actually protect your hardwood stairs.

Yes, you can negotiate the purchase price of new carpet. You may also be able to negotiate installation costs or other fees in addition to the per-foot pricing of the carpet itself. You may have better luck negotiating with an independent retailer (as opposed to a big-box store), as they may have more discretion in pricing, but it’s always worth asking.

Yes. When installed properly, the strong adhesive on carpet tiles keeps them in place while also allowing homeowners the flexibility to peel up an individual tile and replace it if they need to. It’s important to keep in mind that the adhesive on your carpet tiles may take some time to cure, so it’s best to leave them alone for a couple of days after you first install them.

Yes, you can put carpet directly on concrete. However, you need to take certain precautions to ensure the success of the carpet installation. For example, you’ll need to choose a synthetic carpet pad to provide insulation and cushioning and a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from seeping into the carpet.

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.
