"I was planning to clean the sofas & carpet when our kids returned to school. With college and high school students home full time, the daily wear and tear had taken its toll. Unfortunately, one sofa & the carpet were stained by ?, forcing me to seek a cleaner before our time at home had ended. I was very pleasantly surprised with how clean everything looked when Prestigious Carpet Care was finished - one of the stains was very dark, and there is only a very slight (1%?) discoloration now, only noticeable if you know where to look. All odors are gone, and everything looks like new. I would definitely hire Prestigious again, and won't wait for an accident the next time!"

"Daniel & James were explemplary. . They were courteous, professional & very thorough. I will most definitely hire them for the next cleaning. Daniel gave me an assessment of my carpet’s condition, which was better than I anticipated. They completed the work in a timely matter & even took time to pet the dog. ?"

"We had a specific need, so we looked for well-reviewed companies that were offering a promotion and reached out to Premier Steam Cleaning Inc. They responded very quickly to set up the appointment, and the job was completed within a few days of our initial purchase through Angie's List. They did a nice job and were easy to work with, and relative to other deals or promotions we saw offered the best value for what we needed."

"I think I have them on a Groupon and it was a Groupon deal.  The price that I paid was significantly half of what I probably would have paid.  It was less than $200.  They were very professional.  They were here on time.  The reason that I had them come out was because I have a dog and the dog had an accident.  So they were not able to get the stains out of a lighter carpet.  They could get the stains out of the darker carpet but not the lighter one.  So it wasn’t their fault and they tried everything that they could.  In my opinion they tried a lot of different crazy things that they had, but they couldn’t get the dog stains out of the lighter carpet that I have.  The purpose of them being out was to get those stains out for me, but it didn’t come out.  I think that they tried though."

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.

Installing carpet padding is mostly a matter of measuring the room and cutting the carpet pad to size with a utility knife. You can save some money on carpet installation costs by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room’s perimeter and prepare the subfloor by cleaning and making any necessary repairs. Then, unroll the carpet pad and cut sections as needed. Staple the carpet pad to the subfloor along the edges, leaving the tack strips exposed.

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the area size and preparation needed.

While not always required, experts recommend removing baseboards before removing old carpet and installing a new one. This practice leads to a smoother process and a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. Removing the baseboards allows for a seamless carpet installation without the risk of damaging either the carpet or the trim. It also provides a good opportunity to repaint or stain the baseboards and inspect the underlying wall for any issues. If you prefer a quicker option, you can carefully cut the old carpet along the edge of the baseboards, but this may result in a less polished installation for the new carpet.

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.
