"The appointment was for 9:00 am and the young man arrived at 9:30. I think he tried to call to let me know, but didn't leave a message. He was very fast --less than an hour. I had a couple of spots that should have come up easily, but did not. I was easily able to get them up afterwards simply by spraying them with Resolve. He was able to partially remove a red stain that I didn't expect, but it appeared that he didn't notice the others. The carpet was extremely wet when he left. He indicated that it should take 4-6 hours to dry, so I put fans out to help it along. Even though the carpet is the flat industrial carpet squares, it took over 24 hours to dry completely. One thing that happened, not necessarily the fault of the company, was that carbon monoxide built up in the basement due to the cleaning process. The van was backed up to the garage door to allow for the hoses, and the exhaust built up in the garage and into the basement. Once the door to the garage was closed, the detector quickly went off. Something to be aware of if the cleaning van is parked close to your access doors. Overall was not that happy with the results. I'm not sure if the deodorizer was applied. Carpet wasn't smelly prior to cleaning, but I expected the basement to smell 'fresh' once the cleaning was done. It mostly smelled damp because it took so long for the carpet to dry.

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

A stair runner is a length of carpet installed in the center of the staircase, either on top of or in between hard materials installed on the staircase. The carpet doesn’t cover the entire length of the steps, making stair runners an aesthetic choice. Thankfully, if you want hard materials on your stairs to show through, a stair runner will make it safer, as the primary area you walk on will be less slippery thanks to the carpet. 

You can lay your laminate flooring in whichever direction you'd like. However, you should check your materials' instructions and see what the maximum length limit is for the installation. This differs according to the brand you buy, but you can expect it to be around 40 linear feet. Depending on the size of the room, this might dictate which direction you end up laying the planks.

Yes. You can tile over tile if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it’s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor.

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.

It’s possible to reuse household materials to cover floors, but they won’t provide the same level of protection as dedicated materials. They’re also more difficult to tape down and more prone to slipping and bunching up—and any dirt or debris on them could scratch or stain your floors. That being said, extra materials like these can be useful for protecting the sides of furniture and placing in areas that could use added protection.
