Q: Do you have to remove baseboards to remove the carpet?

• <div><p>Removing baseboards is not always necessary when removing carpet, but it can make the process smoother and yield better results. It allows for neater removal of the old carpet and better installation of the new one with a more professional-looking finish. However, if you're looking for a quicker and less invasive option, you can try carefully cutting the carpet near the baseboards and removing it. This approach might work if the baseboards are in good condition and you're not concerned about the quality of the installation.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to have carpet or wood on stairs?

• <div><p>Hard materials like wood or vinyl flooring on stairs can look great but can also be slippery, posing a risk of injury. On the other hand, carpet often has much more traction, is a lot softer and cushioned, and is still aesthetically pleasing. With all this in mind, carpet is the ideal choice for stairs. </p></div>

Q: How can I hide a visually unpleasant hardwood floor?

• <div><p>If the installer is unwilling to fix the problems and you&rsquo;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&rsquo;s a labor-intensive job if you want to go the DIY route. </p></div>

We had new carpet installed in 6 rooms and a stairway by Home Depot of Champaign, IL. The carpet was priced very well. We had a bit of an argument with them because they would not haul away the old carpet, because we had pulled it up ourselves. We pulled it up ourselves because we wanted to...

The installers were very polite and professional. They took care not to track on our floors and left everything in perfect condition. They also did a good job explaining the installation and all of the controls.

He pretreated the carpet, cleaned, and added guard and raked. He was professional, careful, and efficient but also unrushed--he took care. I have tried the chain carpet cleaners before--they could not compare in the quality of the work.

The most important room that needed to be cleaned was my living/dining room. I know there was a lot of ground in dirt, but after they cleaned it, it appears as though all the dirt is now on top of the carpet. It looks like they cleaned the carpet with dirty water, and I now have to get the...

"Rubio and his crew were very professionally, efficient and a lot of attention to detail. They cleaned up the old pad, carpet tack, and installed Pergo Gold LVP tile oad, and Pergo LVP, I had purchased at a big box store.

"I went to Angi to look for someone to put a small door up on an opening in the wall above my staircase in the living room. The closest I could get to what I needed done was drywall install. So that’s the listing I asked for with Angi. I got 2 companies. I requested quotes from both companies , but neither one responded with a quote. I received a text from someone about the job I needed done. I never got a name from the person that texted me or the company he worked for. In my haste to get the job set up I didn’t ask his name or what company he worked for. He asked me to send pictures of the job I wanted done and I did that and he quoted me a price of $ 220.00. I accepted. We texted back and forth ma couple times more for what day and time to do it. In all those texts I never got a name for him or the company he worked for. I saved the texts back and forth between us and when I did not have a receipt for the work done I used our texts to one another to reach out with another text about needing a receipt. Instead I got a call back from a quite rude person that when I answered she said what’s going on here. She did not identify herself to me or why she was calling me at first. She never did identify herself to me but I finally figured out that she was calling about the text I sent about needing a receipt. She was concerned that I wasn’t happy with the work done. I told her that was Okay, but I needed a receipt for the work done because I didn’t get one. She seemed pretty dismissive of me when she found out that’s all I needed. I told her that I had to have a receipt and that it had to have the Company name address and phone number on it, had to have what the job was that I hired them to do on it, how much they quoted as the price, what form I paid them with ( it was paid in cash), date the work was done, that the work was fully completed and that it was paid with cash and paid in full. She said she could do that and I thanked her for her time. She also told me that they were the company that did the work at my home, she read off my address to me. So I’ve been waiting for a receipt to show up in my mail and so far I have not received it. The company I believe that did this job for me is; LDM Tile and Remodeling LLC. I’m going to include the phone number that I received the texts from about the job. That number is:1 708 639 5493. I have no idea who this person is or what the name is for this person"
