Q: How long should an Oriental rug last?

• <div><p>An Oriental rug should last between 50 and 100 years, on average, but yours could last much longer than a century if you care for it properly. There are many factors that affect the lifespan of an Oriental rug, though. Increased foot traffic, exposure to moisture, exposure to UV light and sunlight, and aggressive cleaning can all limit how long your rug will last.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t put padding under carpet?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won&rsquo;t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-repair-cost.htm">carpet repair costs</a> over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.</p></div>

Q: What are common carpet cleaning add-on services?

• <div><p>In addition to having your carpets professionally cleaned, most carpet cleaners offer a range of supplemental services and treatments, including:</p><ul><li><p>Patching and repairing holes: $100&ndash;$250 per hole</p></li><li><p>Carpet stretching to remove wrinkles: $60 per hour</p></li><li><p>Water extraction: $450&ndash;$2,000, depending on square footage</p></li><li><p>Pet stain and odor removal: $30&ndash;$50 per hour</p></li><li><p>Furniture and upholstery cleaning: $50&ndash;$80 per item</p></li><li><p>Furniture moving and removal: $10&ndash;$50 per item</p></li><li><p>Padding replacement: $4&ndash;$7 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Teflon treatment: $20&ndash;$40 per project</p></li><li><p>Environmentally friendly carpet cleaning: $100&ndash;$200 per room</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How do you maintain your carpet?

• <div><p>There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-keep-carpet-looking-new.htm">carpet maintenance tips</a> you&rsquo;ll want to use to keep your carpet looking brand-new. Make sure you tackle stains immediately, and only use cleaners gentle enough for your carpet's specific fibers. You can even pop area rugs on top of wall-to-wall carpeting to change the look of your space and protect the carpet below.</p></div>

Q: How can I save money on new carpet?

• <div><p>You can save money on labor costs by removing your old carpet before the professionals come in to install the new carpet. Just make sure to clear it with your contractor ahead of time. You might also be able to cut costs by <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-time-to-buy-carpet.htm">buying carpet at certain times of year</a> when it&rsquo;s less expensive. These periods include late December to mid-January and late spring to early summer.</p></div>

The amount of carpet is pretty small (<200 sq ft) ; so I'm hit with mostly just much the minimum charge to get the van there (~$100 per visit). I still am happy with the value and will have them back out soon.

We were very impressed with Joe and his remodeling company. The final decision between contractors came down to Sattler's policy of not providing as detailed a breakdown of the price estimate (as we prefer) as well as a 10% higher cost. From start to finish of our contacts with Joe Sattler...

As with the first time I used Carpet Surgeon, they were excellent. I was able to schedule the cleaning/stretching within a week of my call. Nick and Jacob showed up on time and produced an estimate within ten minutes. They were friendly, worked efficiently and the price was fair (good value.)

I moved into my current house in July. There were a couple visible spots on the carpet that I shampooed myself. When I looked at the water in my carpet cleaner's discharge tank, it looked like I had been outside trying to shampoo the sidewalk. I asked around for a carpet cleaner, and...

Pat is very nice and did an excellent job making our carpet look better. He even did our front step carpet on his way out the door. That saved us from having to replace it.
