"That carpet cleaning turned out okay. They did the carpets in my living room, hallways and stairs. There were some stains that I wanted them to get out, but we didn’t have much hope for those stains to begin with. Two employees came out and it didn’t take them very long."
"It was an exceptional experience to work with this company. They provided carpet samples that were superior to others I looked at. The installation was seamless. I love my carpet and am very happy I did business with them. Iâ m about to carpet another area and Iâ m calling them for my quote."
"I was pressed to have the carpet cleaned today. I called Acrosstime and he said he could be at my home within the hour and he kept his word. He did an excellent job of vanishing those awful stains and the carpet is so clean all over. Thank you for your expertise. respect, and professional manner."
"It went well. We had an issue with their equipment breaking down and when they left, they left a big spot on the carpet where the solution had spilled but they came back right away and fixed it within like 24 hours. So that was okay. Just one person came out to do this job. I would say it was average. I don't think that they spent a lot of time on the carpet. To be quite honest, it felt like they were kind of there and gone considering how much there was to do. I was not impressed with how deep the cleaning was. I did most of the moving and I know they don't do a lot of it but they didn't go out of their way to make any extra effort. Even if it was just moving a table a few feet, they would just maybe do under it but they wouldn't actually move it. There was something there by one of the chairs that would have come out with some steam cleaning and a a little bit of solution pretty easily and it didn't come out when they cleaned it. Until I had to do it after they left and it came right out so I don't think the cleaning was especially high quality."
"They did a awesome job getting out pets stains and dirt from my carpet. They missed a few stains but got 95% of them out. I was very happy with the end result. The only thing I didn't care for was that I had to wait a day for my carpet to dry. Having little kids made that kind of hard for us."
Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts
There are a couple of color options to consider when installing carpet in high-traffic areas (like entrances and stairways). Medium-toned colors and patterned carpets can work well in these parts of your home because dirt and stains can blend in easily. Dark carpets will also conceal marks and spills, but they show lint and other light-colored debris. Consider a medium brown or tan for your high-traffic areas. Either way, it’s best to avoid paler shades, like white and cream, which get dirty easily.
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.
Decent carpet will last around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You’ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.
The life span of carpet in a home with children and animals depends on factors like the carpet material’s quality, how frequently you clean and maintain it, and the level of foot traffic. On average, carpets need to be replaced every five to 15 years. Signs of wear, matting, or persistent odors may indicate that it's time to contact a local flooring company to replace your carpet.
Carpeting lasts between 10 and 15 years in most cases, but keep an eye out for common signs that it's time to replace it. Persistent smells despite deep cleaning, faded color, worn-down carpet padding, and general wear and tear are signs that it's time to tear it up. If you are experiencing allergy issues indoors, this could also be a sign that new flooring is the key to a fresher home.
