"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."

"Black Bear Maintenance built my deck with composite decking, a composite railing, and pressure-treated posts and balusters. It all blends together nicely. Kyle and his helper Kevin worked well together. They took the job seriously and worked steady, taking pride in their work. I also had them renovate an old porch. They framed up two new walls and installed three large sliding windows and beautiful French doors opening onto the deck. Kyle not only takes his work seriously, he also enjoys it. He has a likable personality and gladly answered my questions with detailed explanations. And if something isn't just right, he is absolutely willing to correct it. Overall, I am pleased with the project."

"I was in need of a last minute cleaning before when we came home from vacation. Alicia answered my text right away and scheduled a cleaning for the next day, before we got home. Upon getting home our house was bright, tidy and cleaner than I've ever seen it before, and her price was very fair. Will reach out to Alicia again for her exceptional service!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

If you have a concrete subfloor, you must secure the carpet padding with adhesive or glue. However, if you have a wooden subfloor, use staples instead. Removing a glued-down carpet can be difficult and time-consuming, so it’s best to avoid glue when possible.

Professional installation ensures seamless fitting, extended carpet life, and compliance with workplace standards.

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.

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.
