"Everything went extremely well.  He (Craig) was right on-time for the appointment, got to work, spent adequate time (in my estimation) on task, and did an excellent job of cleaning the carpet, both in the bedrooms and on the stairs.  The micro-sponge dry product that he used was environmentally friendly and did a great job of picking up the dirt.  He also used a liquid cleaner on the tough spots, which removed them.  Craig was very friendly and talkative, and explained well what he was doing.  I was very pleased with the outcome and the experience."

"I got quotes from the top 3 rated businesses on Home Advisor for my 5 room carpet project. Get Flooring gave the best quote. I had my project scheduled for the next week. Installers showed up at 9am exactly and worked straight through 7 hours. Professional, on time, and hard working installers did a good job. We are happy and have already recommended to others"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.

DIY is possible for small areas. Professional installation ensures proper stretching and a polished finish.

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.

Acclimating laminate flooring cannot be rushed. Laminate flooring needs at least 48 hours to acclimate properly to its new environment, and being patient during this time can make installation go smoother because you will not be dealing with boards that have expanded or contracted during the shipping process. You will also be less likely to damage the boards during installation.

When deciding whether to repair or replace your carpet, consider its age, the extent of the damage, and its location. It's often best to replace the entire carpet if the damage is extensive, such as large sections needing replacement, or if it's caused by water, which can lead to mold problems. Similarly, if your carpet is nearing a decade old, replacement is likely the more logical choice. On the other hand, consider repairing your carpet if the damage is localized to one spot, like minor rips or snags, the carpet is still relatively new, or the damage is in a low-traffic area of your home.
