"I was in a bind, needing someone to clean my house within the next few days, as I was going in the hospital for surgery. I had hired another Home Advisor pro to clean my house and they did not call me or show up on the scheduled day. I then called the next person on the list. They came out but the estimate was way too high for the scope of the project. I was just about to give up when the owner of Machado Carpet services and house cleaning called me to follow up on my inquiry. Jose and Vilma came to my home that very evening to meet with me and my husband. I hired them on the spot. They are both very nice, down to earth, trustworthy, professional and very reasonably priced. Jose is always available to speak to customers on the phone and Vilma is wonderful. She arrives as scheduled bringing all necessary supplies and is more than happy to use yours if preferred. She works hard, completes the job as discussed and desired and is pleasant and enjoyable to be with. Her husband Jose is also professional and very nice. When I need carpet installation in the future he will be my guy. I am very lucky that Jose reached out to me."

"Upon  entering my condo the cleaner immediately issued a sales pitch saying the rate quoted on Angie's List  ($78.00) would not be more than a surface cleaning and would not really clean my "heavily  trafficked carpet" and that his cleaning would last five years!    I live alone and don't entertain often.  There were some l soiled areas which needed attention but most of the carpet was in  good shape though the cleaner  immediately said the carpet showed signs of "wear and tear." (The carpet had been cleaned roughly a year ago )     Three men came to do what has in the past been a one person job.     In retrospect I should have told them to leave without cleaning when the overpriced estimate was made.  There is no indication in the receipt I have which guarantees this cleaning job' for "five years.!"

"I found PuroClean on Angie's List and am so pleased that I called them! Just a few days after buying a new home, a torrential downpour overwhelmed a storm drain and rainwater entered my basement through the basement door, soaking the carpet. I called PuroClean and spoke with Lauren just before 10am. By noon, Erickson was at the house assessing the damage. He provided a recommendation and an estimate. By 2pm, Zach arrived to start the job. He pulled up the water damaged carpet, making sure to do the cuts in the straightest and cleanest line possible so adding new carpet back would be less difficult, and two pieces of baseboard. He also humored my overly excited 6-year old daughter who was eager to watch him work. I was impressed by how courteous everyone was and how they appeared to work as a team unit. They were courteous, responsive, and did a great job. Hopefully I won't need them again, but if I do, I will call PuroClean."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.

  • The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.

  • Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

When deciding whether to repair or replace your carpet, consider its age, the extent of the damage, and its location. It's often best to replace the entire carpet if the damage is extensive, such as large sections needing replacement, or if it's caused by water, which can lead to mold problems. Similarly, if your carpet is nearing a decade old, replacement is likely the more logical choice. On the other hand, consider repairing your carpet if the damage is localized to one spot, like minor rips or snags, the carpet is still relatively new, or the damage is in a low-traffic area of your home.

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

In most cases, carpeting isn’t kind to the wood that it’s attached to. Most carpet installation uses adhesive or nailing strips, both of which will damage wood. Conversely, you can choose to use an adhesive designed to be removed from wood, in which case carpeting can actually protect your hardwood stairs.
