"Kyle allowed me to bring the carpet (5x7 ft) to him. He did the work in his basement. He explained what he was doing and why. Very congenial and polite fellow. The result was excellent and no odors left behind. Would definitely do business again."

"All natural carpet cleaning is simply the best. They are professional, kind, helpful, and go above and beyond. They have expertise is getting out any stain you can imagine a toddler can get on expensive furniture and have saved the day many times. My kids love when they come too because the owner is so kind and lets them “help!” I cannot recommend them more! They also sanitize, which is great to get rid of the endless school germs."

"We had Tony come in to give us an estimate earlier this year. The floor has been down at least 25 years and it was dried out. Since this is our entrance we postponed having the floor done as we decided to redo our bathrooms. After that was finished, I called him up and settled on a date and he was very accommodating. He called the night before, came on time the next morning. He is very professional and pleasant. He buffed the floor and polyurethaned it. We had to stay off it for a day but we were going away for two days. It was a pleasant surprise when we returned home and saw our beautiful floor. It looks like new. We couldn't be happier. We would highly recommend him. We got his name off Angie's list which is wonderful. We will be doing our carpeting soon and will definitely use him. I would recommend him to my friends.

"Mark responded to my inquiry immediately, discussed his plans, gave a rough estimate over the phone and made an appointment. He kept the appointment as stated,went over the plan and price. He did an absolute fantastic job in clearing a very difficult carpet. He even made friends with our Norwegian Elkhound. I will definitely use his services again and enthusiastically recommend him to anyone!"

"Either sales rep or installers should have identified the right padding or carpet height to replace existing materials. Instead I had to go through the house and paint almost every baseboard for the 1/2inch of void where past carpet hid old paint color."

Carpet Installation FAQs, 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.

Yes, laying laminate over carpet may void the warranty of your flooring. Most laminate manufacturers specify installation over a suitable subfloor, not carpet. Deviating from these installation guidelines can invalidate the warranty. You should stick to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure warranty coverage, and you should always consult with professional laminate flooring installers near you if you have any concerns or questions regarding installation methods.

A 65-oz. carpet is good, and in many cases, it indicates a premium carpet. Most carpets for homes should fall in the range of 40 to 60 ounces for face weight. If a carpet has a 65-oz. face weight, it is likely more durable and long-lasting than a similar carpet with a lower face weight. Carpet face weight is just one factor in determining a carpet’s quality. 

Costs depend on carpet type, labor rates, and additional services like padding or transitions.

Yes, carpets should be replaced after a house fire or significant smoke damage, even if they appear undamaged. Smoke, soot, particulates, and chemicals can penetrate deep into the carpet fibers and padding, making complete removal a complicated and time-consuming process. If water was used to extinguish the fire, it can also soak through the carpet and padding, creating a risk of mold and mildew growth. Due to these challenges and potential health risks, replacing the carpet is the safest and most effective solution.
