"Santos was very professional, personable, expedient and efficient. He explained why the carpet was buckling and explained what he would do to rectify it. He also ensured I checked the end results of his work. Santos cleaned up after his work by collecting the cuttings and vacuuming the carpet. I most definitely recommend him!"

"I had old wall-to-wall carpeting in my downstairs living room and hallway. I also had an awful parquet floor in my dining room (which was there when we moved in back in 1986). Underneath the parquet floor was plywood and the same wood floor that was in my living room. They weren't sure if they could save the underlying floor so they gave me a price to pull out the parquet floor and the plywood and refinish the underlying wood floor and another price to do a new installation on the floor. It turned out that the plywood was nailed to the underlying floor (lots and lots of nails) and the parquet floor was glued to the plywood, so I chose to have a new installation (I could have kept the old floor but it wouldn't have looked as nice with filled nail holes in it). It took them 3 days to do everything (pull out the old carpeting, sand and stain the existing floor in the living room and hallway, remove the parquet floor and the 2 layers of wood underneath it, install a new floor, sand and stain the new floor). They did some minor damage to my walls in the room with the parquet floor (some dings and cracked paint along the bottom of the wall by the floor), but the guy who painted my downstairs a few days prior to this work came back and fixed the walls, at no charge. I don't blame them for this since I knew it may happen while yanking out old wood and pounding in new wood, and my painter and I discussed it beforehand. When the painter came back to fix the walls, his first remark was "This floor is beautiful". I then had new carpeting installed on my stairs, and when the guy came to do it, he said the same thing. He even asked for Prestige's phone number so he could recommend them for hardwood floor work. Both my painter and the carpet installer were surprised when I told them that the dining room floor was new because the wood matched my living room wood exactly. You can't tell that one wood is from the 1960's and another is brand new.
They advertise dust-free sanding, and I don't recall there being a mess for me to clean up afterwards, so that wasn't an issue.
The guys who worked on my floors were pleasant and answered all my questions.
The only thing I wasn't prepared for was the noise  - pulling out the old floor and putting in a new one, and the sander. I put my 2 cats in the basement and when I went down there to check on them, the noise was intensified for some reason so I had to get them upstairs instead, where the bedroom carpeting softened the noise a bit.

"I was very impressed with this company. We had said when we scheduled the appointment that we absolutely positively needed the carpet installed within two days. We were on a very tight time table: closing on Tuesday afternoon, needed carpet installed on Weds, and then receive furniture from storage on Thursday. There was no room for error.
When the owner came to meet me the evening, right after we closed on the apartment (not Mike but his partner), he brought a selection of carpets that he said he had in stock and were available for installation the next day. All I had to do was say the word and he would be there at a specific time. If I have any complaint, it is that the selection was rather limited, but then again, beggars can't be choosers. So, I picked the color and quality we wanted. He measured. I wrote a check and told him I would tell him what time to come the next day.
Though there was a little confusion over who said what about the time of delivery (they showed up essentially before I had called to say I was ready), the installation went off without a hitch and it took a LONG time, too. I don't know if it had to do with the odor remediation or the install itself, but for whatever reason, the installers were there into the evening. Nonetheless , they did an awesome job and the carpet looks great.
I would totally use them again, though I hope this carpet lasts for a very long time. So far, I see no signs that it won't.

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

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.

Regular vacuuming is essential in homes with animals and children to remove pet hair, dirt, and debris from the carpet's surface. Additionally, prompt cleaning of spills and accidents can prevent stains from setting in. Consider using carpet protectors or area rugs in high-traffic areas to minimize wear and tear on your new carpeting.

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.

  • The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.

  • Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

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.  

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.
