"Larry sent Dale to restretch some carpet in my daughter's room. They were able to come out the very next day so it could be done before steam cleaning. The price Larry quoted was honored and it was 1/3 the price quoted by other companies ( who we thought were overpriced). They didn't mind such a small job, did the work in a timely manner and were very courteous. Very pleased and plan to call them when I need another bedroom stretched as well ( that room had all the furniture in it and couldn't be emptied)."
"The service went well. Two technicians came out and completed the cleaning in an hour or two. They cleaned the bedroom, hallway and step carpets. The carpets looked pretty good after the service. I had no problem scheduling the deal."
"The services performed were very good. They arrived on time and installed the new carpeting in the amount of time that they estimated. The quality of the work performed was very good. "
"Overall, the carpets were very clean when they left. However, I felt that I had been "upsold" on the cleaning and ended up paying a lot more than I wanted to have my carpets cleaned. I was told that due to the type of carpet I have, it would need a "deep clean" because the regular clean covered by by Groupon wouldn't clean it well enough. The guy was pretty big, and obviously knows my home, so I felt intimidated and didn't want to say no. Plus I was told there were stains that might not come out with the regular clean and I really didn't want him to leave and still have stains so I went ahead with the deep clean...an extra $100+ that I wasn't expecting to spend. (I was debating going with the regular clean to see if they'd come out but was afraid they'd just leave the stains to make a point.) He was friendly enough, and out in less than two hours, but combined with the hard sell and forgetting the duct inspection, I was really turned off and I wouldn't recommend him nor will I use this company again.

"Scott and another worker came by to give us a estimate to stretch our carpet. The price was good and he said they could do the work right then so perfect. They were out of here in in a little over a hour with a 2 year guarantee!"
"We recently purchased a home where three levels of the home needed carpeting replaced. Nancy came out, took time to explain the process, helped pick colors, and measured each room. Her pricing was competitive, and she was responsive with any questions. The crew came and finished the job in two days. Everyone was extremely professional, on time, and did an excellent job stretching the carpet into place. We are very happy with the finished rooms. Great job, Floor Coverings International!!"
"Shawn and his assistant did a great job stretching our basement carpet. There were able to work around a pool table that could not be moved, and lots of furniture. The amount of carpet they removed was incredible (it really needed stretching!) and it looks great. They were able to get the work done the same week I put in the request, did an great job communicating, and cleaned everything up afterwards. Would use again without a doubt."
The answer depends on the size of the problem. If the carpet damage is small, then you or a pro can fix it with a carpet patch. This commonly includes things like burn marks from fireplaces or small holes from furniture snagging on it.
Other times, replacing the carpet rather than repairing it is best. For example, if you have large, worn sections, water damage, or can’t get rid of a strong odor, it may be time for a replacement. Carpet removal costs average $180 plus the cost of new carpet installation.
Vacuum regularly, clean spills promptly, and schedule professional deep cleaning annually.
You can save money on labor costs by removing your old carpet before the professionals come in to install the new carpet. Just make sure to clear it with your contractor ahead of time. You might also be able to cut costs by buying carpet at certain times of year when it’s less expensive. These periods include late December to mid-January and late spring to early summer.
Professionals ensure effective adhesion by choosing the right adhesive for the materials, preparing surfaces properly, and applying pressure as needed. This attention to detail ensures durable connections in various applications from construction to repairs.
Deciding whether to clean or replace your carpet depends on its condition and age. If cleaning no longer resolves issues, it's time to consider a replacement. Key signs that you need to replace your carpet include:
Stains that are impossible to remove.
A persistent smell that lingers even after cleaning.
An increase in allergy symptoms.
The age of the carpet. Most manufacturers state that carpets should last about 10 years with proper care.
When cleaning is no longer effective, you should replace the carpet with a new one or consider other flooring options like vinyl or laminate.
