"Twin Lakes Carpet and Floor Care arrived at 8:30 for the job which was scheduled at 9:00, so A+ for punctuality. Pat and his co-worker got busy vacuuming the carpets where needed before deep cleaning. They moved furnature where necessary, and picked up all small rugs and runners, cleaned, and took them outside to dry. The wood floors in the kitchen and dining room were cleaned, along with the tile in the foyer. We are very happy with the very professional services they provided and will use Twin Lakes again.

"Heather did a deep clean on our vacation home that hadn?t been done in about 6 months so there was a lot to do. She went above and beyond our expectations and I couldn?t have asked for a better cleaner to come do all of our home cleaning needs as well as yard work. I recommend here to anyone that needs their home taken care of. Very professional as well and follows directions in detail."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.

Acclimating laminate flooring cannot be rushed. Laminate flooring needs at least 48 hours to acclimate properly to its new environment, and being patient during this time can make installation go smoother because you will not be dealing with boards that have expanded or contracted during the shipping process. You will also be less likely to damage the boards during installation.

The costs range from $3 to $10 per square foot, depending on the carpet type, labor, and subfloor preparation.

If you want your carpet to last as long as possible, then yes, you need to install carpet padding. Carpet padding creates a layer of protection between the back of your carpet and the floor beneath it, which decreases friction and reduces wear and tear. Aside from that, carpet padding also helps absorb noise and makes your carpet feel more comfortable underfoot.

If you have a dark carpet and are going for a lighter look, you should replace it, rather than dyeing, since you can only go darker with dye. If your stains are too heavy to mask with carpet dye or the carpet is more than 10 years old, you should also consider replacing it.
