"Victoria Cleaning Solutions did an amazing job power washing my patio! They were recommended to me by the contractor who installed my backsplash, and I?m so glad I took the suggestion. The results were incredible?my patio looks brand new. They were professional, efficient, and clearly know what they?re doing. I was truly amazed by the transformation and would highly recommend Victoria Cleaning Solutions to anyone in need of power washing or exterior cleaning services."

"I hired Mark Miller Cleaning to do an entire house cleaning of a newly purchased home. They cleaned the carpeted and hard floors, lights, cabinets/tops, toilets and fixtures, and the inside and outside of the windows (which they recommended and I'm so glad they did). They did everything in a day. It wasn't perfect with a few spots missed, but it was a tough job to start with and they worked really hard and quickly. Customer service was great, and the whole team was responsive and friendly. Thanks"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Several types of flooring can be installed over existing tile, provided the current tiles are in good condition. Options include vinyl, vinyl plank, laminate, engineered wood, hardwood, carpet, and cork. Among these, various types of vinyl and engineered wood are the most common choices due to their versatility. Alternatively, you can install new tiles on top of your current ones if you like tile floors but want to update the look. Before proceeding with any new flooring, it's crucial to ensure your existing tiles are not damaged; otherwise, they will need to be removed first.

Carpet padding costs an average of $510 to purchase and install in a 225-square-foot room. The price can range from as low as $170 to as much as $850, depending on the brand, the thickness, and the labor cost. Although carpet padding will increase the overall cost of carpet installation, it also helps the carpet hold up longer, reduces noise in the room, and provides more insulation.

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.

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.

Deciding whether to clean or replace your carpet depends on its condition and age. If cleaning no longer resolves issues, it's time to consider a replacement. Key signs that you need to replace your carpet include:

  • Stains that are impossible to remove.

  • A persistent smell that lingers even after cleaning.

  • An increase in allergy symptoms.

  • The age of the carpet. Most manufacturers state that carpets should last about 10 years with proper care.

When cleaning is no longer effective, you should replace the carpet with a new one or consider other flooring options like vinyl or laminate.
