"Terrific job done! Did everything I asked for and beyond. Romeo ( the professional) worked very hard on a carpet that hadn't been cleaned in several years, and the carpet looks like new. VERY PLEASED!"
This marble was cover in wax, so we had to strip it before we could polish it.
Here we have the finishing touch. If you look at the reflection now you are able to see a actual tree in the image.

"Double N Services were OUTSTANDING! Super responsive and Norman did an amazing job making my old, heavily pet stained carpet, fresh again and looking like new! A few stubborn stains resurfaced, but they were happy to come back and retreat them until I was satisfied. Second time worked like a charm on those wicked stains. THANK YOU! Looking forward to coming back to Double N for some hardwoods in the future!"

"Jhoan and his team, Leo and Erlen, were fantastic! Leo and Erlen showed up on time and got to work! They did a phenomenal job on installing carpet on our stairs. The job looks beautiful. All three are very professional, and the job site was cleaned up when finished. Jhoan thank you for saving the day for me and getting this project completed so quickly."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Acclimating laminate flooring cannot be rushed. Laminate flooring needs at least 48 hours to acclimate properly to its new environment, and being patient during this time can make installation go smoother because you will not be dealing with boards that have expanded or contracted during the shipping process. You will also be less likely to damage the boards during installation.

Decent carpet will last around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You’ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.

If the stairs are already covered in carpet, you will need to remove the old carpet and possibly the carpet pad. Any damage to the stairs like cracks, loose boards, or creaky treads may also need to be repaired. You may also want to sand and refinish or paint wood stairs before installing a carpet runner.

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.

In order to avoid long-lasting waves, indents, or sticking, it’s a good idea to wait at least 24 hours after fresh carpet is laid to put weighty furniture on top of it. However, you can begin walking on your new carpet right after it’s installed, and doing so can actually help it adhere to the floor better.
