Our company was designed with the customer in mind. To give the best prices to our customers we had to get out of old company business models. We dont keep staff on hand; we have sub-contractors on our team which enables us to pass the savings onto our customer. All subs are fully licensed and insured. When your guys are subs then you dont need a huge office staff and there is no need for vans or trucks because your subs already have them. Finally there is no need for a huge office space. All of these savings are past down to the customer. Thats why we guaranty that no licensed and insured company can beat our prices for the same quality of work. We accept cash, credit or debit cards, and we also do some in-house financing when applicable.

"Placed my order nearly a month ago and still have not gotten my order. Ordered 43 boxes of a laminate that is discontinued so they were one of very few options. Salesman told me they had my entire order available, even asked if I wanted more. Got an e-mail a week later saying my order would be delayed a week as they were shipping my order from NC and warehouse was pulling material from other locations to get the quantity I needed to fill my order. I contacted their order person and she advised they would ship order in Oct 12th and that I should get my order by Oct 19th. I placed my order on Sept 26th. I e-mailed the person on Oct 16th to ensure I would get my order the following week but got her out of office e-mail. I had to call back on Oct 20th because I had not gotten a response from my e-mal and still had not even gotten a shipping e-mail. The lady answered and told me she would call me back by end of day to give me a status. I called back at end of say because I got no call back and left a message that I needed them to overnight my order if possible because my contractor scheduled me for my floor installation the week they told me I would get my order. I had to call back next day because I still hadn't gotten a response to my voicemail. Lady answered and said they would be shipping item out that day, I get feeling had I not called back no one would have contacted me. I asked could they overnight the order and se said no because they could not expedite freight orders. She said there was basically nothing she could do and wasn't sure why I did not get another e-mail saying my order was delayed a second time and asked if she wanted me to ship it. That made me angry as I waited almost a month, what was I going to say "No" and waste a month of my time? Long story short, very bad customer service and communication from this company. I live in AZ so I understand I wasn't going to get my order in a couple of days but it will be over a month since I paid for my order that I will have my order assuming the lady wasn't lying and I get it next week. I would recommend doing business with some other online flooring company. Again, I would have requested a refund and looked elsewhere but I needed to match the flooring in my rental and this was only company that I found that sold the exact floor model I needed. If I could give negative stars I would."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, there are plenty of ways to lay stair carpet without grippers, such as carpet adhesive, magnetic flooring, or staples. Adhesive may be your best bet if you don’t want grippers, as it will most likely stick the best and cause the least amount of damage. However, if you’re looking for an easy fix, grippers are one of the best solutions you can purchase.

Hard materials like wood or vinyl flooring on stairs can look great but can also be slippery, posing a risk of injury. On the other hand, carpet often has much more traction, is a lot softer and cushioned, and is still aesthetically pleasing. With all this in mind, carpet is the ideal choice for stairs. 

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.

Carpet installation costs include carpet type (material, weave), room size, subfloor preparation, and labor costs. Getting multiple quotes provides a clearer picture of expected expenses.

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.
