"What a company, called for a carpets and was able to work the job in the next day The crew was beyond great and impressed my wife, which takes some doing. Have used them before and will again."
"Highly recommend this company! The carpet was top rated and Larry beat the price we were quoted from any other company, including one with a sale price! His workers were SO nice and professional. They cleaned up after themselves, and even vacumed the carpet when done. That was a first!! I wouldn't hesitate recommending them to family & friends!!"
"They are wonderful! They installers were funny, respectful of our home and even were here on time. Find that some where else. Small issue with seam coming apart at the taped line but are fixing it in just 3 more days! Thank you HomeAdvisor and fellow reviewers!! You made my choice in who to choose for carpeting easy. Will use Empire Today again for the rest of the houses floors!"

"Great service. George and his staff were friendly, polite, and very efficient. In and out in an hour, and the carpets look fantastic. Highly recommended."
"It could not have gone any better. I don't give out compliments easily so when I say they are the best carpet cleaner I have ever used you can believe it. They were totally professional and took the time to make sure the carpet was totally clean. I plan on using them the next time my carpet and rugs need cleaning. They even moved furniture to get to places that prior carpet cleaners did not clean."
Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts
If the installer is unwilling to fix the problems and you’re not interested in seeking remediation, you could hide a visually unpleasant floor. This will only work if the floor is structurally sound and the only issue you have is the way it looks. The easiest way to do this is to use large area rugs. You can also paint the floor, although that’s a labor-intensive job if you want to go the DIY route.
Avoid plush, high-pile, or thick carpets on your stairs because they can increase the risk of slipping and wear down quickly in busy homes. Also, ensure the carpet you install is stain-resistant, particularly if you select a light color.
Berber is a loop pile carpet known for its strength, durability, and distinct looped look. It can be made from a number of different carpet materials, including nylon and wool. However, Berber isn’t as soft as cut pile carpet, so it isn’t the best carpet for a bedroom (although it’s a good style of carpet for living rooms).
With that said, if you really like the look of Berber, you can still install it in your bedroom—it just might not be as comfortable on your feet as cut pile carpeting.
You may get better coverage painting your baseboards if you do so before carpet is installed. The best course of action may be to attempt to paint them between having the old floor removed and the new floor laid, though this will render the room unusable for a period of time and may make the entire project a bit slower overall.
Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
