"Very nice and very fast solution to my problem. Liked them so much, I am having them carpet my new addition. It is always so much better to be able to work with a small local business owner rather than the big name operations."

"I had tried everything to get rid of pet stains on my carpeting. I wasn’t sure if anyone could get rid of them but I decided to give EnerGreen a try. They were courteous and professional and I was ecstatic to see the stains gone after they finished. I would recommend them without hesitation."

"We moved into our new house over the weekend of 6/16/18-6/17/18. Our original carpet installers neglected to schedule us for carpet installation. I searched on Home Advisor for carpet installer near me & received a call instantly from Dave St. Vincent w/Taco's Carpet Services. He was very professional & very nice on the phone. He was able to come out that Monday and install carpet in both rooms that needed it. He even picked up the carpet & supplies from the place we ordered it from & brought it all out with him. We are very thankful he was able to install it on such short notice! If it weren't for Dave we would have had to leave our bedroom furniture in storage for 2 more weeks. Thank you so much Dave! I would highly recommend them!"

Carpet Installation FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Taking carpet off stairs is an easy but multi-step process you can usually do yourself. If you have the right tools, time, and oomph to finish the job, removing carpet from stairs can be an easy-to-medium difficulty task, depending on your stairs, the type of carpet installed, and how willing you are to get your hands dirty. It’s important to review the process, gather the right tools before you begin, and follow a tutorial or directions while you work.

Yes, carpets should be replaced after a house fire or significant smoke damage, even if they appear undamaged. Smoke, soot, particulates, and chemicals can penetrate deep into the carpet fibers and padding, making complete removal a complicated and time-consuming process. If water was used to extinguish the fire, it can also soak through the carpet and padding, creating a risk of mold and mildew growth. Due to these challenges and potential health risks, replacing the carpet is the safest and most effective solution.

While it is possible to install carpet yourself, it is a challenging DIY project that requires precise measurement, proper cutting skills, and knowledge of correct installation techniques. The process involves multiple steps, including removing old flooring, installing underlayment and tack strips, and stretching the carpet to prevent wrinkles, which can take several days to complete.

Before starting, consider these factors:

  • Warranty: Many manufacturers' warranties are voided if the carpet is not installed by a professional.

  • Tools: You will need to buy or rent specialized equipment like a knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller.

  • Complexity: DIY installation is most suitable for simple, straightforward rooms. Projects involving stairs or floor vents are significantly more difficult.

  • Cost: While you can save on labor, the cost of tools plus the risk of expensive mistakes—which may require re-installation—can make hiring a professional more cost-effective in the long run.

Given the potential for errors, voided warranties, and the need for special tools, hiring a local carpet installer is often recommended to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

You can expect your carpet protection to last about six months to two years. It will last longer in low-traffic areas (compared to busy areas, where your carpet experiences more wear and tear). Once the protector wears off, you’ll need to call your carpet contractor to reapply the stain protection treatment and revive your carpet.
