"Andy was PHENOMENAL from start to finish!! I could tell from the moment that we first spoke on the phone that I was working with a true professional. Then, after he cleaned the soiled carpet in the bedroom (which included multiple pet stains), I had NO DOUBT that he was the VERY BEST!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Andy and his carpet cleaning services to anyone looking for an honest and reliable service person, as well as a JOB WELL DONE!!"

"The guys who installed the carpet did an excellent job. They do not work for empire directly but outsource the work. Empire: I paid the deposit and the rest was do the day of install. Day of install empire over charged my card. The installers still asked for payment and had to call corporate to see why my card was charged?..also why no payment was showing up. After doing a 3way call with Empire and Capital One nothing was resolved and the CC company confirmed the pending charge. Thus is still a on going issue."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.

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.

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.

It is not recommended to install or stretch a carpet without a power stretcher. Skipping essential tools like a power stretcher and a knee kicker will likely result in an improper installation, leaving you with wrinkles, creases, and an unappealing final look. While a knee kicker can provide some limited stretching for thinner carpets, it is not a proper substitute. Attempting to stretch a carpet by hand or with homemade tools can also shorten its lifespan. For the best results, you should buy or rent a stretcher. If you do not want to use a stretcher, it is better to hire a professional for the installation.

New carpet installation offers warmth, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. It can improve indoor air quality by trapping dust particles and provides a sound-dampening effect, which is beneficial for creating quiet environments.
