"From pick up to delivery, excellent customer service and quality repairs. My dog had an accident and also chewed on the edges of my Persian rug. Now the carpet looks brand new and I am very happy."
"Absolutely excellent..great job installing my carpet and customer service was wonderful. Thank you do much for a job well done I highly recommend them."
"They were punctual and the carpet was removed. I wish they would have told me there was a $150.00 minimum fee. The job was completed in a total of 30 minutes. I had described the work to be performed prior to scheduling. There were multiple opportunities to state such a high minimum fee for such a small job. I would have shopped around if I was aware of this minimum fee.
"It was fabulous. I did some comparisons and the other companies charge you by the square foot to take away your old carpet and padding. With Daniel, everything was included, they have a large selection, and they did the whole house in 2 days. They're great!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts
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.
Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to install carpet over concrete, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive.
When installing carpeting on your steps, start at the top and work your way to the bottom. That way, you can easily control the carpet and create a better seal. This approach prevents the carpet from bunching up or creating wrinkles as you work. You’ll have better leverage over it as gravity helps guide it down each step.
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.
Carpet installation costs include carpet type (material, weave), room size, subfloor preparation, and labor costs. Getting multiple quotes provides a clearer picture of expected expenses.
