"I have used this company for approximately 12 + years.  They are family owned and operated and the nicest people.  They always show up on time, I'm always pleasantly suprised by the price.  They always measure and give me an estimate before they start, giving me the option of teflon coating and/or deoderizing.  They never push it, just give me the advantages and the options.   Then they vacuum the carpets, move the furniture and clean the carpets using their own water.  Then they rake the entire house(to work the teflon in and bring back the nap of the carpet).  The place always looks like I have new carpet again when they leave. I will always call this company to clean my carpets.

"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."

"I had a giant pine tree that I have been wanting to get down for a long time now. I called several companies that said they would show up but no one ever did. I called the Lawnfather, they were very prompt with scheduling. Not only were they responsive with their phone call but very responsive with showing up to give us a quote. They were prompt reliable and and very affordable. I would highly recommend them and plan on using them again."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Installing carpet over carpet may negatively impact the resale value of your home. While it offers a quick fix, potential buyers may view it as a temporary solution rather than a long-term investment in quality flooring. Properly installed and maintained flooring adds value to a home, so removing the existing carpet and installing new flooring may be a better option to attract prospective buyers and maximize resale value.

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.

If you’re using a carpet runner instead of a traditional carpet, pay attention to your width measurements. Instead of measuring the total width of your staircase with 2 added inches for foldover, simply measure the width you’d like the runner to cover. Runners generally come in standard sizes, so you may need to approximate what would look best in your space.

DIY is possible for small areas. Professional installation ensures proper stretching and a polished finish.

Yes, you can negotiate the purchase price of new carpet. You may also be able to negotiate installation costs or other fees in addition to the per-foot pricing of the carpet itself. You may have better luck negotiating with an independent retailer (as opposed to a big-box store), as they may have more discretion in pricing, but it’s always worth asking.
