Q: How do you maintain your carpet?

• <div><p>There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-tips-keep-carpet-looking-new.htm">carpet maintenance tips</a> you&rsquo;ll want to use to keep your carpet looking brand-new. Make sure you tackle stains immediately, and only use cleaners gentle enough for your carpet's specific fibers. You can even pop area rugs on top of wall-to-wall carpeting to change the look of your space and protect the carpet below.</p></div>

Q: Do I have to convert feet to inches when I calculate square feet?

• <div><p>For rooms with an even number of feet (10 x 12, for example), you can technically just multiply them together to get the number of square feet in the room (10 feet x 12 feet = 120 sq. ft.). For irregularly shaped rooms or areas that aren&rsquo;t even square feet, converting to inches will be your best bet for an accurate measurement.</p></div>

Q: Do carpet installations include removal of old carpet?

• <div><p>Many services include the removal and disposal of old carpet. Confirm with your provider.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to stretch a carpet?

• <div><p>Carpet stretching increases the lifespan of the carpet and eliminates unsightly wrinkles, ridges, and ripples. It is certainly worth it if you seek to extend the life of wall-to-wall carpeting, though it depends on the individual and the carpet itself. If the carpet looks fine, it likely is fine. Restretch the carpet when you notice looseness and a high number of related issues.</p></div>

They put in a pipe with calking, instead of a threaded drain. The shower leaked, ruined our subfloor and tile, and we are now replacing the entire bathroom, including the floors. The current plumbers disclosed to us what shoddy work they did. They also did not support the shower, so it got big...

They would only give us an overall price to tape, mud, and prime our 1200 square foot master bedroom and bathroom walls, and not a time and material price that we would have preferred (we wanted them to take their time to do it right). Two other men arrived to do the work and not the owner we...
