"Gainesville Carpets Plus is a very professional organization that stands behind their work. Carpet was installed upstairs and in stairwell and looks great. Vinyl flooring was installed downstairs. There were some issues originally with the installation of the flooring in the entryway due to having to cover areas where there was originally tile up against carpet. Leroy worked with us and stood totally behind the work ensuring that it be top notch and done the right way. It took a couple of return trips, and building up of the subfloor in the entryway, but the final installation was excellent. Thanks again to Leroy and Carpets Plus for a floor we are very proud of."

"I needed to have my carpet re-stretched. Several buckled spots had it looking really old. Travis came out with a power stretcher and made it look near new again. And while not originally part of the service call, I asked about cleaning the carpet afterwards. The additional fee for the cleaning service, since he was already there, was impossible to say no to. Scheduling and pre-appointment communication was great as well; getting the quote, setting the appointment around my schedule and letting me know when they were on the way. Awesome."

"I am a general contractor up north visiting family and I am beyond satisfied with DSV. I was under a tight time constraint for getting this floor done. Rick was able to get the flooring material expedited and personally delivered within 2 days! The installer was professional and his experience really shined through his attention to detail between leveling the floor, installing the base + shoe and covering steps./transfers. Our new floor looks amazing and my family is thrilled with the look and feel. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for flooring and will be using them again in the future."

Andy and his partner came in after another installer left me high and dry - walked out after taking more than a month to lay about 600 sq ft of flooring and didn't even finish.  Handy Andy fixed the BAD job the other installer did and finished the 1/2 done room and hallway. And then removed the carpets, baseboards and shoe in my master bed and bath, levelled the sub floor and laid over 800 sq ft of new floors, installed new baseboards and shoe all in 2.5 days!!!  And a beautiful job it was indeed!!!!  Almost a  year later its still beautiful!!

We would definitely recommend this company and use them again.  I actually found Handy Andy Custom Wood Flooring by calling a bunch of wood flooring sellers in Jacksonville seeking a recommended installer. They were recommended by more than a few as the best they had on file!!!

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is five to 15 years. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.

The best way to fix carpet matting is to start by vacuuming thoroughly in multiple directions to lift the flattened fibers. For more stubborn spots, apply moisture with an ice cube or steam, then fluff the carpet using a spoon, comb, or carpet brush. A blow dryer or warm iron over a damp towel can also help restore the carpet’s texture. For deep or widespread matting, a professional cleaning is your best bet to fluff your carpet back up to its former glory.

The life span of carpet in a home with children and animals depends on factors like the carpet material’s quality, how frequently you clean and maintain it, and the level of foot traffic. On average, carpets need to be replaced every five to 15 years. Signs of wear, matting, or persistent odors may indicate that it's time to contact a local flooring company to replace your carpet.

There are many types of carpet repairs that you might experience in your home, depending on the activity level in your home. Snags and tears are relatively common, especially if you have pets or tend to move furniture around often. Some other carpet repairs you might need include:

  • Burn damage

  • Water damage

  • Pet damage

  • Loose carpet 

  • Severe stains

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.
