Amazing. I have had  many contractors do various jobs, from all price ranges.  Very rarely do they even get get a C in my book.  Most companies do things half way, don't care about their work. 

I bought my flooring through Lowes and they subcontracted through Murphy's carpet. 

These guys EXCEEDED my expectations. 

There were tons of small cut outs- detailed areas.

I could tell when I met the guy he was going to a good job by the comments he was making. 

I would recommend these guys over anyone!!!  I tell everyone. I have rarely found quality workmanship in the 15 years I have been a home owner.

A++++ Thanks Murphy's !!! My basement is beautiful!

"Tim did a great job dealing with the challenges of installing a carpet runner on a 145-year old staircase.  None of the steps were the same size and most of them unsquare, missing part of the nose, etc. etc. etc.  He was able to navigate those challenges and complete a beautiful runner installation.  This included having to cut the carpet around a huge bannister post at the bottom of the steps, it all turned out great.  We don't anticipate having any new carpeting put down, but if we did, we would certainly consider using Hampton again.  Anytime someone asks who did our runner, we will certainly give positive reviews of Tim and Hampton Flooring.

I have been installing for fifteen years now there is no floor I dont know how or have mastered how to install. I carry vinyl plank and carpet in stock at all times. I opened this company to help people upgrade there homes and get new floors because I know not everyone can afford it so with me being the scheduler bidder salesman and installer there are no middlemen there is no overhead. Therefor I can keep my rates lower than most. My biggest mission is to build customers and gain them for life not just make money. Customer service is everything cause if your happy Im happy.

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is five to 15 years. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.

If you want to save money on carpet repairs, there are a few ways to save without sacrificing quality. Some options you have include:

  • Cleaning set-in stains by renting a steam cleaner or using DIY carpet cleaning methods

  • Prepare the area for repairing yourself, such as moving furniture, to avoid unnecessary fees.

  • Protect high-traffic areas with a runner rug to avoid excessive wear and tear.

You’ll know if your carpet is stretched enough if it lies completely flat and smooth across your floor. If you have ripples, wrinkled areas, or carpet piling up along the baseboards, these are telltale signs that your carpet is not fully stretched. Release the carpet from the tack strip along one wall and use a stretcher or knee kicker to stretch out the carpet before securing it again.

Steam cleaning is the best way to clean a carpet to enhance the color and texture of the fibers. You can either rent a steam cleaner and clean the carpet yourself or hire a local carpet cleaning team for a more thorough pass.

The life span of carpet in a home with children and animals depends on factors like the carpet material’s quality, how frequently you clean and maintain it, and the level of foot traffic. On average, carpets need to be replaced every five to 15 years. Signs of wear, matting, or persistent odors may indicate that it's time to contact a local flooring company to replace your carpet.
