"This is the 3rd floor I have had Michael and Steven install, 2 rooms with carpet, 1 large , 12 ft by 42 ft, room with sheet vinyl, and now another large, 13 ft by 32 ft, room with vinyl planks. Our house is 108 years old and this last room required a lot of leveling before he could install the floor. He shows up on time, is very professional and very good at what he does. He takes the time to make sure the job is done correctly and does not cut corners. I highly recommend him for any flooring needs."

"Elliot has worked for us on three or four occasions. He does great work, is on time, efficient, cost-effective and friendly. He did work at the house we used to live in in suburban Heights. He also laid some carpet and did some tile work for us at Leonardo s Pizza of Millhopper. Will use him again when needed."

"We hired Blake to clean the carpet on our stairs. He was very careful to use coverings around corners and furniture and took extra care to protect our home. The carpet on our stairs now looks fresh and clean and has extended the life of the carpet. He provided a great service at a very reasonable price and was friendly and professional. Highly recommended."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

There are a couple of color options to consider when installing carpet in high-traffic areas (like entrances and stairways). Medium-toned colors and patterned carpets can work well in these parts of your home because dirt and stains can blend in easily. Dark carpets will also conceal marks and spills, but they show lint and other light-colored debris. Consider a medium brown or tan for your high-traffic areas. Either way, it’s best to avoid paler shades, like white and cream, which get dirty easily.

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

Most projects take 1-3 days, depending on space size and complexity.

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.

It is not recommended to install or stretch a carpet without a power stretcher. Skipping essential tools like a power stretcher and a knee kicker will likely result in an improper installation, leaving you with wrinkles, creases, and an unappealing final look. While a knee kicker can provide some limited stretching for thinner carpets, it is not a proper substitute. Attempting to stretch a carpet by hand or with homemade tools can also shorten its lifespan. For the best results, you should buy or rent a stretcher. If you do not want to use a stretcher, it is better to hire a professional for the installation.
