"I can't say enough good things about this company. I Originally booked a move out clean for a home I rented in Bloomfield with a different cleaning company a few months back. I planned and prepped for the final cleaning on July 15th for 2 pm. My keys needed to be turned over promptly at 5 pm. The original company I booked with called me that morning at 9 and said they had overbooked and they needed to reschedule!! I had booked a few months prior like I said and I needed it done that day! I felt defeated and was so upset so immediately I called up several cleaning companies before I stumbled upon Greene clean. I was elighted to hear they could not only come out and get the job done that day but I was also quoted over 60 dollars less than the originally company I had booked with. The cleaning team was phenomenal and my landlord was very pleased. I can't thank them enough for coming out so quickly to get this cleaning done. I got on the schedule for a biweekly cleaning at my newly purchased home now! Thank you guys so much again. I'm looking forward to my regularly scheduled cleanings!"

Flawless Floors far exceeded my expectations on not only the quality of their work but also their price. Francis Blair and his team did drywall work for me as well as tile work in my bathroom and laundry room.   He was very timely, organized, and had the necessary tools to do a flawless job.  This company puts their customers first. For example, they worked late hours and went out of their way to help us get re-situated into our home.  I am extremely thankful that I hired this company to do my work and will definitely be using them in the future.

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The type of flooring you choose for your bedroom comes down to personal preference. Many people prefer carpet over hard-surface flooring types (such as hardwood, tile, or stone) in their bedrooms because it’s warmer and cozier. Carpeting also helps muffle sound, which may benefit those who have trouble sleeping.

On the other hand, some folks prefer the look of hardwood over carpet. People with allergies might also opt for non-carpeted flooring since carpet fibers can attract dust, dander, and other allergens.

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

If you’re using a carpet runner instead of a traditional carpet, pay attention to your width measurements. Instead of measuring the total width of your staircase with 2 added inches for foldover, simply measure the width you’d like the runner to cover. Runners generally come in standard sizes, so you may need to approximate what would look best in your space.
