"A team of three woman spent 4 hours in the house, but as they charge by the job, this was fine.  But after 12 person hours, I expected a very clean house.  They did a lot of work, and one always notices what's not done, but there were what I considered basics that were missed.  There's a corner where I keep a litter box for the cat, and I pointed out in advance that there would be dust on the woodwork and shelves in the area and that it would need special attention.  But before they left, I called them in and showed them that they had left litter behind on the floor (a lot of litter against the walls and in the corners) as well as the dust.  Evidently, they had steamed the area without sweeping up the litter and created something of a mess which they did not see. They did then reclean the area. I also pointed out that the tubs would come smooth with soap scum remover, but though they had certainly cleaned the tubs, there was still a residue left that I had to scrub off.
I don't think they did much in the utility room, which is actually part of the kitchen.  I asked them to go back and clean the sink, which they had neglected.  This is not a paint-spattered old sink, but a very nice white porcelain sink, which I would have thought they would have cleaned automatically.
In two of the upstairs bedrooms we have rugs which go partly under the beds on wood floors.  When I checked under the beds, I saw that they had not vacuumed or dust mopped in these areas.
They did, however. do a nice job in my daughter's room and bath, which is a challenge. They did clean the window ledges and sills, which many people miss.  
I had to ask them to turn off their loud music at one point. Even when I've had workmen in, they were considerate enough not to play music, given that I was home.
They did not have a receipt on hand to give me.
I hope I am not being unfair. I don't really like writing the reviews. I'm hard to please, but I've had services do a better job in much less time, and I'm surprised that all the reviews have been A's for this service. I cancelled the service after the first cleaning and forfeited the $40 charge for supplies.

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.

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.

It's best to wait until the newly installed carpet has fully settled and dried before moving furniture back into the room. Your carpet installation professionals can provide guidance on the recommended wait time based on factors such as the type of carpet and adhesive used. Moving furniture back in too soon could damage the carpet or affect its adherence to the floor.
