"Brian was awesome to work with. He stepped in and corrected a new carpet installation that was poorly done. Friendly, professional, timely, and fairly priced. What more could you ask for? Will definitely hire for our next carpet install."

"I had a dog that recently passed away and toward the end of his life he was having a tough time controlling his urine.  After my dog passed, I called Carpet Pro and they came out the next day and not only did they get rid of the urine smell, Kurt cleaned my couch and all the hair!  I would HIGHLY recommend Carpet Pro for all your carpet cleaning needs!"

Cons

Carpet tiles come with a preexisting adhesive backing, which means installing them is as simple as peeling off the paper and sticking them down where they need to go. In other words, no. You won’t need to purchase any separate glue to get your carpet squares situated. It’s already built into the carpet tile itself.

The life span of carpet in a home with children and animals depends on factors like the carpet material’s quality, how frequently you clean and maintain it, and the level of foot traffic. On average, carpets need to be replaced every five to 15 years. Signs of wear, matting, or persistent odors may indicate that it's time to contact a local flooring company to replace your carpet.

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.

Carpet installation typically starts with removing the old flooring, preparing the subfloor, laying underpadding for cushioning, and securing the new carpet with tack strips, making precise cuts to fit room dimensions.
