"I called Superior out to clean my Berber carpet at my home. When I spoke to them on the phone I informed them that I might want some of my furniture cleaned as well and they told me that they would be happy to look at it when they came to clean the carpets. The day of the service appointment they called to let me know that they were on there way to my home (15 min early). Once they arrived I showed them the carpet that was to be cleaned and also asked them to look at my furniture. The were very professional and informative. They explained the type of furniture that I had and how that particular fabric should be cleaned. After answering all of my questions they gave me a price to clean everything and I agreed to have them do it. I had a sofa, love seat and chair cleaned and fabric protected and the carpet in my living room, dining room, family room and two bedrooms cleaned and carpet protected. As promised, my furniture was almost dry even before they left my home and the carpet was totally dry in just a few hours. I am so glad that I found Superior. My carpet and furniture looks and smells like new. I would definitely recommend Superior Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning!"

"This is the second time we have used this company and we are extremely pleased with all services provided. Brian and his team cleaned our tiles and grout and they look awesome and like new, we have a white tile floor and it was very old and dirty looking. Brian and his team cleaned and stained the grout where it now looks like a new floor. We also had our carpets cleaned and they look new. We would definitely use them again for any tile and carpet needs. Excellent work and affordable service."

"Jeff is friendly and honest. I was complaining about the upstairs carpet, which is what he came to stretch, and I asked him if I should be considering replacing it with solid surface flooring. Jeff said that this carpet will last a long and carpeting is good for upstairs floors . It helps keep the noise down. I really appreciated his honest and helpful answer."

"Mr. Perez did a great job. We had a 5-cushion/lounger couch steam cleaned and a living room/dining room carpet steam cleaned. He also cleaned the hallway carpet and building entryway carpet as an add-on to our original request. Everything looks great and the freshness is wonderful. He was professional and knowledgeable about his work and clearly took pride in doing a good job. We will definitely recommend his for future cleaning."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Installing carpet over carpet may negatively impact the resale value of your home. While it offers a quick fix, potential buyers may view it as a temporary solution rather than a long-term investment in quality flooring. Properly installed and maintained flooring adds value to a home, so removing the existing carpet and installing new flooring may be a better option to attract prospective buyers and maximize resale value.

Installing carpet tile takes a pro a few hours per room, while experienced DIYers may take a little longer. However, that does not factor in the time needed to remove the old carpet. Also, if there are issues with the subfloor, fixing it will add to the overall time it takes to complete the installation.

While not always required, experts recommend removing baseboards before removing old carpet and installing a new one. This practice leads to a smoother process and a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. Removing the baseboards allows for a seamless carpet installation without the risk of damaging either the carpet or the trim. It also provides a good opportunity to repaint or stain the baseboards and inspect the underlying wall for any issues. If you prefer a quicker option, you can carefully cut the old carpet along the edge of the baseboards, but this may result in a less polished installation for the new carpet.

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 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.
