"It went probably the best ever. We called him after a friend told us about him at Hays Grocery Store. We did need it real bad.
He arrived early. He looked over our home & furniture. He explained to us what he would do. He did exactly what he said he would do for us. My wife & I were extremely pleased. He got out a few "older" stains. That had been there for quite some time!  I graded it a B for price. But he didn't overcharge. I just wish everything in life cost less......but he was better pricing than the previous company. We will tell our family & friends.
Bootheel Carpet Care is #1 in our book!
He told us about reviewing here on Angie's list.
I thought I would take the time to  do it.
I hope you take the time to call him.
Thank you,
Brandon Cunningham

"We hired Logan to first install our plank flooring. He did an amazing job. We went on to hire him for carpet and tile work for our tub surround and walk-in shower. He is a fantastic communicator who shows up when he says heâ s going to be there, gets the job done in the agreed-upon timeline and his pricing is spot on for the quality work that he does. We will definitely be using him for future projects and would highly recommend him."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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.

Experts advise that replacing carpeting can bring a 50% to 80% return on investment. However, new carpeting doesn’t necessarily add value to your overall home value. Because flooring value heavily depends on taste, it can be tricky to determine whether new carpet will increase your home sale price. Carpeting tends to be a renovation that increases overall comfort and aesthetics for your home, but it’s not a big factor in value.

In order to avoid long-lasting waves, indents, or sticking, it’s a good idea to wait at least 24 hours after fresh carpet is laid to put weighty furniture on top of it. However, you can begin walking on your new carpet right after it’s installed, and doing so can actually help it adhere to the floor better.
