"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

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.

In most cases, laminate flooring is better for people with dust or other allergies as laminate is easier to clean. Carpet can trap pollen and other allergens, allowing them to be kicked up into the air again with foot traffic. Consult your flooring specialist about the best types of carpet or laminate flooring to use based on your household member’s needs.

Yes, you can negotiate the purchase price of new carpet. You may also be able to negotiate installation costs or other fees in addition to the per-foot pricing of the carpet itself. You may have better luck negotiating with an independent retailer (as opposed to a big-box store), as they may have more discretion in pricing, but it’s always worth asking.

Installing carpet on stairs involves a lot more cutting, tucking, tack strips, and time. The shape of your staircase, along with the material and construction of the carpet you’re installing, will also increase the cost. Carpet installation on stairs will cost $400 to $800 in total, but it can go as high as $2,500 for difficult staircases, such as wrap-around, upholstered, or spiral staircases.

Decent carpet will last around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You’ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.
