"Would highly recommend these guys. Very friendly but worked hard. Laid vinyl plank flooring for us and stretched carpet. Love the new floors and carpet looks new. Did a great job cleaning up after themselves. Would use them again or recommend them in a heartbeat."

"Champion did a wonderful job. He was very professional and pleasant and did not change the quoted price even though I have three vents that are not standard. They are very difficult and complicated to remove. He spent the extra time and did the job right. Also, friends had warned me that, after the cleaning, my house would be covered with dust that had been blown out during the process. That is completely untrue with Champion. All the dirt that is dislodged when the duct work is cleaned is immediately captured by the vacuum. I am very pleased."

"It went very well. The paint job looks great. I let them choose the color. There were no paint drips on the sidewalks or the house, they cleaned up when they were finished. We had quotes for much higher. They are very nice and easy to work with."

"It was a big job. They did a fantastic job. They arrived on time, only took 30 minutes for lunch and got right back on it. When the gentleman was bringing the totes down the stairs and out to the garage, she would be ready with a new tote when he got back upstairs. They got everything done in less than 8 hours. They cleaned up well. They were one of the lowest bids I had gotten. They did excellent. People wouldn't go wrong by getting them."

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.

New carpet installation offers warmth, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. It can improve indoor air quality by trapping dust particles and provides a sound-dampening effect, which is beneficial for creating quiet environments.

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.

It is not recommended to install or stretch a carpet without a power stretcher. Skipping essential tools like a power stretcher and a knee kicker will likely result in an improper installation, leaving you with wrinkles, creases, and an unappealing final look. While a knee kicker can provide some limited stretching for thinner carpets, it is not a proper substitute. Attempting to stretch a carpet by hand or with homemade tools can also shorten its lifespan. For the best results, you should buy or rent a stretcher. If you do not want to use a stretcher, it is better to hire a professional for the installation.

Costs depend on carpet quality, labor, underlayment, and furniture moving requirements.
