"Carpet was removed & hardwood installed in living room,dining room ,hallway & stairs. Robert came out with samples & helped me in making a final decision on the flooring. The price was lower than other estimates I had gotten although that was not the deciding factor. The workers were professional & did a beautiful job on the floors. Thank you to all at Floor Zone!"

"the company was refered to us by a friend who'd had carpets replaced by them in the recent past. Their estimate was thousands less than any other company I'd gotten estimates from. Britni was very easy to talk to and went out of her way to make sure we were happy with our experience. Our carpets were replaced as well as hardwood floors refinnished. The hardwoods looked ok.I would say I'm overall 85% satisfied with them. There were areas in most, if not all of the corners of the rooms where the wood filler they used was not sanded and just sealed over! An entire tack strip row was not even filled in before they stained and sealed leaving obvious holes in one spot. While they did come back ad "fix" the tack strip miss hap, they didn't touch the corners of the rooms where the filler was sealed over. Didn't even offer to fix it.
Our carpet was very nicely installed. However, due to too many people telling them what to do where, some lines got crossed and a closet did not get carpeted when it was supposed to be. They came back and gave me a BS shpeil about having to take up an entire row of carpeting in order to fix it. Not true. Only would've had to pull up and re-seam where the closet door was. I think they just didn't want to bend down and spend 20 more minutes fixing their mess up. Instead the guy cut a piece of carpet to fit the closet and just laid it in there! We were done nagging by that point so we let it go... After all they were thousands less than anyone else. I would recommend using them to friends with only one bit of advise. Stay on top of them. If something isn't to your liking, MAKE them fix it!! Be clear on your standards and hold SCI to those standards."

Carpet Stretching FAQs, answered by experts

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.

If you want to save money on carpet repairs, there are a few ways to save without sacrificing quality. Some options you have include:

  • Cleaning set-in stains by renting a steam cleaner or using DIY carpet cleaning methods. 

  • Prepare the area for repairing yourself, such as moving furniture, to avoid unnecessary fees.

  • Protect high-traffic areas with a runner rug to avoid excessive wear and tear.

An Oriental rug should last between 50 and 100 years, on average, but yours could last much longer than a century if you care for it properly. There are many factors that affect the lifespan of an Oriental rug, though. Increased foot traffic, exposure to moisture, exposure to UV light and sunlight, and aggressive cleaning can all limit how long your rug will last.

If you don’t put padding under your carpet, the carpet won’t be protected from wear on the underside. This could result in a shorter life span for your carpet and increased carpet repair costs over time. An unpadded carpet can also be less comfortable to walk on, depending on your subfloor and the type of carpet.

When deciding whether to repair or replace your carpet, consider its age, the extent of the damage, and its location. It's often best to replace the entire carpet if the damage is extensive, such as large sections needing replacement, or if it's caused by water, which can lead to mold problems. Similarly, if your carpet is nearing a decade old, replacement is likely the more logical choice. On the other hand, consider repairing your carpet if the damage is localized to one spot, like minor rips or snags, the carpet is still relatively new, or the damage is in a low-traffic area of your home.
