"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."

"There was a hiccup in my experience. Enough "waste" was not ordered, so a job that was supposed to be completed in 2 days, took a week and a half. While having my house in disarray for an extended period of time was a pain, ProFloors did make my job a priority in getting it completed. Now that everything is completed, I am very happy with the process and product. I plan to use ProFloors when we are ready for new carpet."

"After my initial phone call, he was able to visit the job site the next day and provided me with a printed estimate detailing each job and how much labor and materials would cost within two business days. Very knowledgeable, I had several random projects covering all kinds of exterior and interior work and he was able to complete them all. Very friendly and easy to get along with, was pleased with his quality of work. We will be using him again for future projects."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls, and its cushioning can lessen the severity of an injury if a fall does occur. Hard surfaces often lack the friction needed for a secure tread and can be quite slippery.

However, it's worth noting that some carpets can also be slick, particularly if they are brand new, dirty, or made from certain materials. If any stair surface feels too slippery, traction treads can be added to most materials to increase grip and improve safety.

The best solvent for removing carpet glue depends on its chemical composition. Most carpet glue reacts well to a solvent made from orange oil. Use mineral spirits to remove tar-based glue, which has a darker, brownish tint. Methylene chloride paint stripper and lacquer thinner should also work, but beware of the nasty and dangerous fumes.

While some carpet repair kits exist and only cost around $15, they are not usually appropriate for Berber repair. Typically, they include small pieces of fibers to use as patches, and Berber carpets are typically colored very differently from other kinds of carpets. This is why it is imperative to try and locate a spare piece of carpet from your original installation when you need to patch up an area.

In addition, the tools these kits include are often watered-down versions of the ones you can buy individually from your local hardware store (e.g., the glue in the kit will not be as strong as your hot glue gun or the double-sided carpet tape).

Carpet stretching can be a worthwhile investment to increase the lifespan of your carpet and eliminate unsightly wrinkles, ridges, and ripples. For an older carpet that is in relatively good condition aside from some wrinkling or bubbling, restretching can make it look like new and extend its life by at least a couple of years. You should consider restretching when you notice looseness or other related issues.

However, it's important to note that stretching will not fix issues like stains, wear in the pile, or discoloration. Consider replacing the carpet instead if the repair cost is more than 50% of the price of a new one. Additionally, if your carpet is past its expected lifespan of five to 15 years, or if it has been stretched multiple times already, replacement is likely a better option.

The cost of carpet repair is $204 on average. The typical range for this project is between $135 and $280 but can increase to $1,000 for severe pet damage repair. The type of repair, along with the carpet material, will impact your total price tag. 

The necessary type of carpet repair is a significant factor in the total price for this project. You can repair simple repairs, like tears and snags, for between $100 and $250. For more complex damage, like water or severe pet damage, prices can start at $300 and jump to $1,000 or more.
