Our propriety advanced hot water extraction process uses non-toxic oxygen enriched water. Superior antimicrobial capabilities are achieved, providing a cleaner, more hygienic service, without the use of toxic chemicals or sodium hydroxide. After cleaning, our enriched water is metabolized into hydrogen and oxygen, leaving your carpet clean and free of any chemical or soap residue. Unlike other 'water' technologies marketed in Des Moines, we are the only company featuring both antimicrobial and residue free technology.

Family-owned. It's been our pleasure to serve the flooring needs of the Carroll area. We’re your family-owned, neighborhood flooring experts. Drop by and let us help you choose the perfect flooring for your particular home and lifestyle.

"Krystal helped me from start to finish with the design. She made the overwhelming process seem easy! The installers came when scheduled which is a HUGE plus! The crew was fun to work with and very professional. We did not hire a contractor, we tore out the walls, did trim and whatever the Carpet One crews were not hired for. Jerry, Adam and Brian were always willing to help us with tips and hints. These guys were simply the best. My husband hurt his back during the remodel so Adam put up the trim behind the bed so we could use the master that night since my husband was unable to do it. That is just one example of how helpful these guys are. Jerry made the built in furniture for the office and the mud room, along with floating shelves. Everything turned out beautiful and exactly liked I pictured. He does amazing work and planned every little detail. We will definitely hire them when we need work done in the future."

Our Rug Cleaning Studio, called Rug Rehab, is located at 501 Bell Ave in Ames. We will gently, yet thoroughly clean your rugs.

Angie's List members that are new clients will receive a free vacuum tune-up, our minimum charge of $89 which includes up to 260 sq ft of carpet cleaning applies.

"They returned old carpets to a very acceptable level, even on the stairs. It was a busy time of the year for Steamway so we did have to wait close to 3 weeks to have them cleaned so plan ahead. The two Professional cleaners were friendly and worked quickly. It took about 4 hours. It takes a lot of work to get as much as you can off the carpets but it is worth it especially in the closets."

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.

A stair runner can be cheaper than a carpet and will definitely save money over the cost of refinishing hardwood floors and stairs. The price depends, however, on the fabric and quality of the runner. A wool stair runner can be more expensive than an inexpensive polyester carpet and vice versa. Keep an eye on your budget, knowing that the higher quality the carpet and the carpet pad, the better the carpet will wear over time.

Yes, there are plenty of ways to lay stair carpet without grippers, such as carpet adhesive, magnetic flooring, or staples. Adhesive may be your best bet if you don’t want grippers, as it will most likely stick the best and cause the least amount of damage. However, if you’re looking for an easy fix, grippers are one of the best solutions you can purchase.

Most projects take 1-3 days, depending on space size and complexity.

The best underlayment for carpet on concrete is a sponge rubber underlayment. This type of carpet padding is durable enough to endure wear and tear on hard concrete yet soft enough to provide comfort underfoot. It also creates insulation from sound and temperature, providing warmth despite the concrete’s cold surface.
