"It took several emails before any contact was made as they were not used to email contacts.   I had to change the date originally selected and it caused a lot of confusion on the correct date.  So several phone calls were had.  Finally a date was scheduled and confirmed.
But on the confirmed date they did not show up as schedule at the scheduled time.  After several emails and phone calls found out that the crew had  not been notified of this scheduled cleaning as the scheduler had been in the hospital.  They then planned to do the next day on a Saturday.
They called at 7:30 am on Saturday to confirm the 10 am time and to get the correct address as they were given the wrong one.  They did show up ahead of schedule. 
I was quite concerned though because I am a single woman and a red unmarked pick-up truck showed up with two black men getting old equipment out of the back of the truck that had duck tape on the hose of one of the pieces of equipment.
They identified themselves once at the door and started bringing in their equipment.  They needed to know where there was a water outlet and where they could empty their dirty water.  I have never had this asked of me by other clean companies I have used in the past.  They reported that they do not use steam cleaning equipment as do other cleaning companies and use older cleaning equipment as they do a better job.
They also do not move any furniture as other cleaning companies have.  Luckily I am only 65 and quite agle yet and moved all the chairs out of the way so they could at least clean around the two eating tables and then I moved everything backed myself as they suggested that at least 24 hours take place before any movement was made on the freshly cleaned carpet..
So other than the concerns listed above, they SURPRISING did quite a nice cleaning job.  Some of the spots that other cleaning companies were not able to get out were gone and are still gone.

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 over carpet may affect the warranty of the new carpet. Check with the manufacturer or retailer regarding their warranty policies. Many warranties stipulate specific installation guidelines, and installing carpet over carpet may not comply with these requirements. Voiding the warranty due to improper installation methods can leave you without help in case of issues or defects with the new carpet.

A stair runner can be cheaper than a carpet and will definitely save money over the cost of refinishing hardwood floors and stairs. The price depends, however, on the fabric and quality of the runner. A wool stair runner can be more expensive than an inexpensive polyester carpet and vice versa. Keep an eye on your budget, knowing that the higher quality the carpet and the carpet pad, the better the carpet will wear over time.

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.

You may get better coverage painting your baseboards if you do so before carpet is installed. The best course of action may be to attempt to paint them between having the old floor removed and the new floor laid, though this will render the room unusable for a period of time and may make the entire project a bit slower overall.
