"Called Mr. Carpet about two weeks ago and received a phone call back from Mary in less than 12 hours.  She set up the appointment for Bob to come out and measure the various area slated for carpeting.  Bob arrived on time, took his shoes off and began measuring the areas for replacement.  He then showed up various samples of carpeting from three large sample books.  He also broke down his estimate to exclude some areas that we thought we would hold off on replacing.  We eventually decided to have all the areas re-carpeted so that the carpeting would flow from one area to the other.
Got a call the day before the carpeting was to be installed telling me that Carlos and his team would be doing the work and would be at the house between 9-10am.  Next morning Carlos called and told us he would be there with his team of two other workers at 8:45 which was fine with us.  They came in and immediately began relocating the furniture using profession moving techniques including runners put under the china cabinets which were then moved to another area.  Each guy had his own job and they worked very good together.  By 11 AM they had all the padding and most of the carpeting installed except for the floating stairs that needed much more work. After laying the carpet they vacuumed all the floors and disposed of the old carpeting.  
I really liked working with these guys and they knew exactly what to do in every situation.

"I hired George and Angel to finish up a hardwood floor installation. They did such a great job I asked them to quote me for laminate flooring for three bedrooms. I couldn't be happier with the results and would recommend Superior Flooring to anyone looking to make the plunge and change up their flooring. Their services are fairly priced and the results are awesome!"

"We had laminate and carpet installed in our home and it was completed very quickly. The payment options were great. We had changed our minds about flooring and carpet colors more than once and Joe from the company stopped by on several occasions to help us decide. They always answered our calls and or called us back within a day. The price was fair and I would recommend Carpets in the Park to anyone,"

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Dust mites feed on dead skin cells, which means your bed is a haven for them. They also like the warmth and humidity in your mattress because that is the climate required for them to survive. That’s why it’s vital to vacuum your mattress and regularly wash your linens to keep mites from living in your bed. 

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.

Hardwood offers the highest ROI at around 75%. Engineered hardwood, tile, reclaimed wood, and laminate also increase a home’s value but with lower ROIs. Lighter tiles tend to increase a home’s value slightly more than darker tiles. Taking the ROI into account when you choose flooring can increase your home value and allow you to recoup some or all of the cost to install it.

Luxury vinyl flooring is the best for pet owners, as it holds up well against scratches and accidents. Non-slip stone or porcelain tile are great options as well. Each of these also provide a less slippery surface for pups that like to run around.

As for the flooring options to avoid, these are hardwood, laminate, and carpeting. Claws can scratch hardwood and tear up carpeting. On top of that, removing dog urine from hardwood floors can be difficult; likewise with carpeting. Laminate holds up much better, but it’s super slippery (especially for dogs).

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.
