"I was thoroughly impressed with the results of my carpet cleaning by Apex. I was thinking this would be an interim cleaning before replacing all my carpets. However, after Apex completed the carpet cleaning the carpets looked almost new such that I am no longer considering replacing the carpet in the near future."

Customers say: Quality work

"Alex was amazing! We had him tear out our old carpet and replace it with new carpet on our second floor. He was able to come and complete the job with very short notice, and it was done in one day! His price was very reasonable, way under what the large stores are charging, and with the timing, he cannot be beat! He even picked out the carpet for us and chose a beautiful color that matches our other flooring perfectly. He was very professional and easy to work with! We will definitely hire him again the next time we have any flooring needs."

"Our carpet looks great. If you do go with them just request for a top notch installer because they are not all the same according to reviews apparently. But, overall great job, no complaints."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

In most cases, laminate flooring is better for people with dust or other allergies as laminate is easier to clean. Carpet can trap pollen and other allergens, allowing them to be kicked up into the air again with foot traffic. Consult your flooring specialist about the best types of carpet or laminate flooring to use based on your household member’s needs.

Carpet installers use furniture sliders or blankets to protect your furniture during the installation process. They handle each piece with care to minimize the risk of damage. Additionally, they may employ techniques such as lifting and shifting furniture rather than dragging it across the floor to prevent scratches or other marks. If you have particularly delicate or heavy items that need to be moved, discuss special handling with the installers beforehand.

Costs depend on carpet type, labor rates, and additional services like padding or transitions.

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.

New carpet installation offers warmth, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. It can improve indoor air quality by trapping dust particles and provides a sound-dampening effect, which is beneficial for creating quiet environments.
