"Awesome!  Due to the safety of the products he used and since it is a dry cleaner I didn't feel like I needed to take my kids out of the house.  We were able to play in another room while the cleaning was done.  We were also able to go right back into the room when he was done as there is NO DRYING TIME!!!!  He also showed me everything he pulled out of my carpet while cleaning and I was amazed at how much dirt and junk was removed as there wasn't any real visible issues with my carpet and I do vacuum regularly.  It also doesn't take as long as when I have had "shampoo" cleanings in the past.  I will never Use anything by a dry cleaner again and will not be using anyone but Craig for my carpet cleaning needs."

"The partners arrived on time and immediately explained what they were going to do to my floors. The owner started on his knees cleaning the grout and clean every nick and granny by hand. He was ver detailed. I would use this company and highly recommend them. They are very professional moving furniture and replacing it when the job was completed. They were very thorough and were willing to redo any of the provided work but it wasn’t necessary. I am planning to use them again for carpet cleaning. They do what they say and their work speaks for itself."

Carpet Installation questions, 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.

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls, and its cushioning can lessen the severity of an injury if a fall does occur. Hard surfaces often lack the friction needed for a secure tread and can be quite slippery.

However, it's worth noting that some carpets can also be slick, particularly if they are brand new, dirty, or made from certain materials. If any stair surface feels too slippery, traction treads can be added to most materials to increase grip and improve safety.

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.

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.

When choosing whether to install carpet in your home, consider the pros and cons of this change:
