"Ron called me within 30 minutes of my request for carpet repair on Home Advisor. He told me he could be here the next morning (Wednesday), but I was unavailable so we made it for Friday, 2 days later. He was prompt in arriving. I had 3 rooms that needed carpet repair from cats scratching at it. The repair was completed in about 1 hour. You cant tell anything was done to the carpet, but the customer service and friendliness go beyond what I expected. I will not hesitate to call them in the future if I need other carpet work. 5 STARS - Well deserved!!!"

"Don and his team are wonderful. The are quick, efficient and priced right. They performed a carpet installation for our entire 2nd Floor. A year later we had an area that needed to be stretched and Don came and took care of it. He's a man of his word which is unfortunately becoming rare these days. No worries if you pick Certified Flooring as your home pro!"

I had a supply line break in my guest bathroom which flooded my entire home.  Drimaxx was there that evening (very quickly) and immediately started the work to get the water out.  They took care of everything. I just watched.  After getting the water out they removed all damaged flooring and wall boards.  They set up fans and dehumidifiers.  Brian and his employees made an unbearable situation a lot less stressful.  The team was always professional, polite and made me feel comfortable that I was in good hands. The work took several days and I was secure with them being in my home while I was not there. I would use this company again if I needed to and would refer them to others.

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

Standard padding works like a sponge. It absorbs liquid, soaking up every drop of moisture that hits it. Moisture barrier padding does the opposite because it has a waterproof coating made of plastic film, rubber, or treated foam. It doesn’t absorb spills and keeps them on the surface instead, so you can clean them up before they damage your subfloor. 

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.

While it may not always be ideal, you can fix a squeaky floorboard without removing the carpet. Pros use specialized carpet screws and drive them through the carpet into the subfloor, securing floorboards. They may also use nails instead of screws if they suspect the pile will get caught in the screw. While some types of carpet will hide the screws and nails, a low-pile carpet may not.

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.

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.
