"Sue made the process of buying carpet painless. She took time to help select the perfect carpet for the room. The installer, Tony, arrived on time and did a fantastic job both installing the carpet and restretching the carpet in the dining room. Professional from start to finish, will definitely hire again and won't even bother looking anywhere else."

"Just had my carpets cleaned by Classic Services, for the third time. All 3 times they have done a FABULOUS job. I would use no one else. they are prompt, courteous, efficient, and do an excellent job. I highly recommend them."
Hardware Store aisle after owner rearranged their aisles, before we stripped and refinished it
Here is the family room with the owner's favorite chair area before we cleaned the carpet
The client doesn't realize just how dirty her floor is, and becomes amazed at the outcome!
This is the client's den area where the floors were refinished. There is a long list of major errors. Here it starts with dreadful sanding resulting in drum marks & edger digs, incomplete sanding, completely botched staining, and a horrible 'finished' product!
Here you can see several etch marks, (drips, dribbles, spills and drink ring marks)

"Premier Carpet is a great source for flooring. I purchased a high quality hardwood floor product from Premier Carpet at a terrific price and I couldn’t be happier with the result. I’ll be installing upstairs flooring in the near future and I know that I will go with Premier Carpet for great service and pricing."

"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."

"Cynthia and her team did a deep clean of our new house before we moved in. Cynthia was responsive and flexible about scheduling based on our moving timeline. The team was very friendly, thorough, and efficient. When they finished, Cynthia walked through the house with us and made sure we were satisfied with all aspects of the service. The house looked great and we were very pleased. As an example, the sellers left the refrigerator a bit of a mess, but it looked like new when they were done. When we called we also inquired about carpet cleaning. Cynthia recommended a service that she works with and they were able to coordinate working together to make the process as quick and efficient as possible. Time is at a premium when moving and this was a nice time-saver. We will definitely work with them again and would consider hiring on a regular basis."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to install carpet over concrete, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive.

Carpet installers use furniture sliders or blankets to protect your furniture during the installation process. They handle each piece with care to minimize the risk of damage. Additionally, they may employ techniques such as lifting and shifting furniture rather than dragging it across the floor to prevent scratches or other marks. If you have particularly delicate or heavy items that need to be moved, discuss special handling with the installers beforehand.

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.

On average, installing carpet costs between $3 and $11 per square foot, depending on factors like the carpet material, style, and labor rates in your area. Sometimes, installers will include carpet removal in these costs, so if you don’t have any carpet to remove, you can save time and spend less money on labor.
