"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

Carpet installation typically starts with removing the old flooring, preparing the subfloor, laying underpadding for cushioning, and securing the new carpet with tack strips, making precise cuts to fit room dimensions.

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.

Some flooring companies recycle old carpet after replacing it. The broader flooring industry has been moving toward recycling more carpet material. However, whether an individual carpet gets recycled is up to the flooring company that removes it. When gathering quotes for new flooring in your area, ask each company about removal options and what they do with the material.

Experts advise that replacing carpeting can bring a 50% to 80% return on investment. However, new carpeting doesn’t necessarily add value to your overall home value. Because flooring value heavily depends on taste, it can be tricky to determine whether new carpet will increase your home sale price. Carpeting tends to be a renovation that increases overall comfort and aesthetics for your home, but it’s not a big factor in value.

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.
