"The carpeting is beautiful and well made. The customer service was better than we had experienced with other retailers which is one of the reasons we chose Mr. Carpet. Other reasons included the price and the many options available. The Sales Associates have vast knowledge of the industry which is why our house is more beautiful than ever thanks to Mr. Carpet."

"I've used Exposition Carpeting for more than 20 years now.  They have an excellent selection and are extremely helpful, and their prices are reasonable.  When our basement flooded last year, we had wanted to get the same carpeting that had been ruined in the flood, but it was discontinued.  They were SO helpful in poring over books and helping us find something very similar.  There was a miscommunication among their staff which caused our order to be somewhat delayed, but that was the first time I'd had anything less than a stellar experience with them. 
I highly recommend them.  They also have a great "remnant room" with great prices if you're looking to carpet smaller rooms."

"My experience with AA Quick Dry Carpet Cleaning on March 8, 2023 was fantastic! The owner, Al was very professional and courteous and took the time to explain his multi-step processe of how he was going to treat my carpet. I had some major problem areas throughout the carpeted rooms of my house and he was able to remove them like they never existed. Not only does this company clean the carpeting but they disinfect, deodorize and stain proof it too! I highly recommend AA Quick Dry Carpet Cleaning for all of your carpet and upholstery cleaning needs. I would give a 10 star rating if it was an option! Great service and a great value!"

"I needed to have carpet replaced for a rental property. The old carpet was damaged by pet urine and I was concerned the smell would come back even carpet was replaced. Felipe came out to assess the damage on Friday, recommended the products, proposed a solution, and new carpet was installed following Monday. Very professional and knowledgeable, and reasonable rate. A job that would take others 2 weeks, these guys got it done in a matter of days. Would definitely hire MT carpet again!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Carpet installers use furniture sliders or blankets to protect your furniture during the installation process. They handle each piece with care to minimize the risk of damage. Additionally, they may employ techniques such as lifting and shifting furniture rather than dragging it across the floor to prevent scratches or other marks. If you have particularly delicate or heavy items that need to be moved, discuss special handling with the installers beforehand.

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.

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.

Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it’s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.
