"This is the second time I have had Kieth to clean my carpets, as before, he was prompt and very professional and very effective! Had some horrid stains for him to contend with. He is also, I think, very reasonably priced. I have recommended him to several people already and will definitely use him again."

"Right off the back, I knew I was going to be in for a good experience. Only a few hours after I inquired into NE Renovations through Angie, I received a phone call to schedule a site visit. Initially, I was only doing some basic improvements. Just paint the walls, replace carpet and replace the linoleum floors with tile. After all, it's a rental. You don't want to go crazy, right? Once I talked to Richard and negotiated the different options for the job, I was blown away at the cost delta between his company and other vendors. Blown away to the point I decided to upgrade first floor to hardwoods. To be honest, I was skeptical at first. Once I received the contract with the same cost proposal as the quick quote, I was put at ease.

The work started promptly per the contract. During the negotiations, I discussed with Richard that I was under the gun because I had a renter that was ready to move in sooner than what I had advertised the place. He didn't make any promises (as hard as I tried to make him commit). But in the end he came through ahead of schedule. There was no skimping on workmanship to improve the schedule. The only negative I have was certain team members cleaning up the work area. But once I brought it to Richards attention, it was rectified immediately. I was actually out of town the day job completed. Once I returned, I went see the finished product. Overall, it was a great job. There were a few touch up things I had a concern about. Richard and the team took care of it promptly with no issue. No additional fee or anything like that. Just making sure the job is completed to the customer's satisfaction. That's the kind of customer service you want.

I'm excited about NE Renovations. After working with Richard and the team, how can you not be. Their infectious personalities, can do/will do attitude and regards for complete customer satisfaction is what makes this company great. I'm looking forward to working with Richard again in the near future. My kitchen in my new house is a wreck. Let's go NE Renovations!!!"

Carpet Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, laying laminate over carpet may void the warranty of your flooring. Most laminate manufacturers specify installation over a suitable subfloor, not carpet. Deviating from these installation guidelines can invalidate the warranty. You should stick to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure warranty coverage, and you should always consult with professional laminate flooring installers near you if you have any concerns or questions regarding installation methods.

Choosing the right carpet involves assessing room usage, desired comfort levels, durability requirements, and stylistic preferences. Carpet fiber types and density should also be considered during the decision-making process.

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.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

When installing carpeting on your steps, start at the top and work your way to the bottom. That way, you can easily control the carpet and create a better seal. This approach prevents the carpet from bunching up or creating wrinkles as you work. You’ll have better leverage over it as gravity helps guide it down each step.
