"I sort of hate giving this review because I’m afraid he won’t have time for us after everyone hears how awesome this guys workmanship & communication is. We hired G’s Home Services to do a complete update/rebuild a 1/2 bath. G installed all new drywall, trim, flooring, sink & toilet and the results are amazing. He also moved the electrical where I needed it. He was mindful of our budget & seemed to value our input on the job. I definitely recommend!"

"Mr. Wagner came a few days earlier than we had scheduled. He was very professional in every way. His price was better than 2 other companies that I had contacted. I highly recommend this company for anyone. I will definitely call him again for any service that I need."

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.

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.

Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it’s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.

In order to avoid long-lasting waves, indents, or sticking, it’s a good idea to wait at least 24 hours after fresh carpet is laid to put weighty furniture on top of it. However, you can begin walking on your new carpet right after it’s installed, and doing so can actually help it adhere to the floor better.

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.
