"The first guy that came out to clean my carpet, sofas and mattress did not do a good job at all. He rushed and finished a 2 hr cleaning job in 1 hour. I was very dissatisfied. I called carpet cleaning experts to complain and without hesitation they said they will send another guy out to re clean. Doug came out to clean the following week and this time the job was done right, he was thorough and professional, he even took pictures of the noticeable spots that was still on my sofas and carpet before he cleaned. After he was done cleaning, I was very happy with how much cleaner and better my carpet and sofas looked and smelled the second time around, and the spots were gone or much less noticeable. I will call and request Doug again if I should need them in the future."

"Rich brought the carpet samples to us in a timely manner. Price for the upgrades was good. He was able to schedule the installers with a date that was timely as well. The installers arrived on time and performed good work in installing the carpet. We are happy with our new carpet.

"Ed Coglin from New Coverings was incredibly helpful with my urgent rental apartment project. Facing a tight deadline, we decided, after consulting with Ed, to remove the carpets and sand the floors in three rooms. Ed's confidence and expertise assured us that, despite years of wear and their rough appearance, the floors would look fantastic after sanding and finishing. He was right; my wood floors now look amazing. Ed managed to complete the project, including sanding three rooms and applying three coats of poly, within the week."

"We had Dalba install all new carpet in a bedroom upstairs and two grand staircases. They also repaired a wood floor in our hallway and another room as well. They did an excellent job. My favorite part was working with Joseph and how communicative he was through the whole process. He constantly updated me with photos as the project continued and was transparent throughout. The craftsmanship and install itself was great. We hired them for another flooring projects in a few weeks as well. Dalba is one of the good ones! Highly recommend."

"If we could give our technician, Paul, 10 stars we would. Paul was so conscientious and detailed in cleaning our sectional sofa. The floors were covered to prevent any residual spray products from getting on the floor. The house trim corners were protected from hose scraping. When the work was completed, everything was left in pristine condition. The company was good at communicating the scope of the job, sent reminders about the scheduled time & date, and thoroughly explained their pricing process."

"Joe went above and beyond being simply a consummate professional - besides delivering everything he promised (competitive price, high quailty carpet, easy/quick install) he also offered his advice on other areas that were extremely useful. He treated my project in my new house like it was his project in his house, which really makes for the best type of tradesman/contractor there is. I have zero doubts about referring JB Hunter to anyone who wants to get carpeting done - Joe is the man to see! I will be referring him to anyone I know that has carpeting needs."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

A transition piece between carpet stairs and wood flooring isn't always necessary. A transition piece separates two types of flooring in between rooms and areas, like carpet and vinyl. Because the carpet on the stairs tucks into the seam, you can’t see the fringes, and there is no need to hide anything. However, you can use a stair cap if your stairs have a nose.

Carpet padding costs an average of $510 to purchase and install in a 225-square-foot room. The price can range from as low as $170 to as much as $850, depending on the brand, the thickness, and the labor cost. Although carpet padding will increase the overall cost of carpet installation, it also helps the carpet hold up longer, reduces noise in the room, and provides more insulation.

Carpets in earthy, neutral shades should go with everything. Specifically, colors like beige, cream, and gray pair well with other neutrals and more vibrant colors. If you’re concerned about your carpet clashing with your walls or furniture, stay away from loud colors and complicated patterns, which could distract from the rest of your decor.

Carpet density refers to how closely together the fibers of a carpet are stitched into the carpet backing, with values ranging from 1,000 to 7,000. A carpet density value of 3,000 or higher is considered best for most homes, especially in high-traffic areas, such as a living room or dining room. If you’re comparing two carpets made of the same material, a higher carpet density can indicate better durability and longevity. However, carpet density is only one of many factors that can help you determine a carpet’s quality.
