"I contacted Danny on Tuesday, November 12, 2019 about installing carpet that I would supply. He and an associate came out the same day to provide an estimate and determine if I had enough carpet to install in a 10x11 bedroom. I had several rolls of carpet/padding in my van that Danny and his associate carried into my home. The installation date was 2 days later. They arrived on time. Before the work began I asked whether my cables would be removed from the wall and Danny said he would do his best not to disturb the wiring. The old carpet /padding was removed and hauled away, new carpet/padding was installed/vacuumed, and the furniture was moved back into the room all in about one and one half hours. I appreciate that he texted me prior to each appointment to let me know he was on his way. The finished product looks amazing at a reasonable price (with my cable wiring intact). I highly recommend Danny and his company which provided 5 star customer service. I will contact him again on my next carpet replacement."

"I couldn't be happier with the carpet cleaning service! The team was professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient from start to finish. They arrived on time, worked quickly, and did an amazing job bringing our carpets back to life. The pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the work. They were able to refresh areas I wasn't sure would ever look this good again. The carpets look and smell fantastic, and the whole house feels cleaner and brighter. If you're looking for a reliable, affordable carpet cleaning company that delivers excellent results, I highly recommend them. We will definitely be using their services again!"

"After another contractor cancelled my appointment at a late hour, I decided to find an immediate replacement. I moved furniture, cleaned the carpets and waited 4 hours for the previous contractor to cancel last minute... Which turned out to be good for me! Gerald of Carpet Magic was not only immediately responsive, he was courteous, professional and got the job done. My carpets were beyond dirty... Now they look and smell great. I took before and after pictures, they are like night and day. Carpet Magic is the only professionals I will use to clean my carpets!"

"What other great things can I say about this business? From the quote I received to the quality of work and customer service-I have ZERO complaints about G&W Floor Coverings. The team arrived to my home around 7:30 a.m. to install carpet to my entire home and was finished around 5:00 p.m. I could tell the crew's motivation was to give me a finished product that I could be pleased with-when the carpet was completely installed, the crew cleaned everything to perfection. Robbie was very exceptional in his customer service and provided me a reasonable price. I can't say enough about his professionalism and courtesy. I would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone in need of quality and affordable services."

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 and friction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls. Additionally, if a fall does occur, carpet offers more cushioning, which can lessen the severity of an injury. While hard surfaces can look great, they are often more slippery. However, it's worth noting that some carpets, especially if they are new, dirty, or have a slick texture, can also pose a slipping hazard. To improve safety on any type of stair surface, you can add traction treads to increase grip.

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.

Decent carpet will last around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You’ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.

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.

Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to install carpet over concrete, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive.
