"Stretched our carpeting in both the front room and dining room (large rooms). The carpet was damp in the dining room so they brought over a big fan to dry it out. They also had to apply latex to part of the backing to assure it would be strong enough to stretch in one section. The individual they sent was extremely knowledgeable and did everything to save the carpeting for the time being. He did a wonderful job.

"Two workers arrived during the planned window, introduced themselves, covered their shoes and got right to work after being shown the carpets. They worked steadily for 1-1/2 hours. The carpets all looked and smelled much better when done. One of the guys told me not to leave the two moveable rugs on our wood floors as tjey were still damp and could warp the floors, and they moved them to the driveway outside to dry. I found this intelligent and very considerate. They were careful to put small foal blocks under furniture legs on the wall to wall carpet, too. I was very pleased."

"Oscar Sr. and Oscar Jr. are an incredible team. Both are very personable and knowledgeable in their trade. They did a great job removing our old carpet, and installing the new carpet. They rolled up all the old carpet and taped each roll to keep it together, and helped me put it all on a cart so I could take it to the street on garbage day. They helped us move big furniture out of the room and then back in after the carpet was installed. Awesome guys and we highly recommend them."

"They did a great job. The estimate was very reasonable and they had a very good selection of carpets to choose from that they brought out with them at the estimate. From estimate through the install they were very responsive. The installers moved a good portion of our furniture during the installation and they stayed late to get the job done in one day. The owner came back after the install to make sure that everything was to our expectations. I would definitely recommend them to others."

"We were looking to replace carpet and how a few quotes from other providers and Rick was able to provide us with the highest quality carpet at a rate that was over 20% cheaper vs. the competition. The installation team did a great job moving our furniture and replaced 2,300 sq ft of carpet in 8hrs. I highly recommend."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Installing carpet tile takes a pro a few hours per room, while experienced DIYers may take a little longer. However, that does not factor in the time needed to remove the old carpet. Also, if there are issues with the subfloor, fixing it will add to the overall time it takes to complete the installation.

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.

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 you want your carpet to last as long as possible, then yes, you need to install carpet padding. Carpet padding creates a layer of protection between the back of your carpet and the floor beneath it, which decreases friction and reduces wear and tear. Aside from that, carpet padding also helps absorb noise and makes your carpet feel more comfortable underfoot.
