"Great! Susan came to my house within a few days of my initial phone call to her. I had explained what I was looking for, so she arrived with sample of differnet floors that might work well - we agreed on a beautiful faux barn-style flooring that has an intricate raised grain pattern and cork backing to keep it almost as quiet as the carpet had been. The flooring arrived in the warehouse wihtin a few days, and could have been installed almost immediately except for my schedule, so it had to wait a week till I could be home. The two installers arrived just a little earlier than I thought they'd be there (7:15), but that was all right since everyone was up and I was out front with the dog anyway. I couldn't believe how fast they ripped up all the rug, installed the floor, and cleaned up! They were done by around 11:00. The flooring went into the master bedroom, a very large walk-in closet (8x10) and a small hallway to the laundry room, so there were lot of cuts to make, and they also installed thresholds, shoe molding around the walls, and so forth - extremely professional job and very, very clean when they left. I had removed all the small items and decor from the room, as well as the longer hanging items and shoes from the closet, but the installers still had to move a lot of furniture to get the floor down, and it was all back in place when they were done. the floor is just beautiful now, and I wish I had done this years ago! (I have two cats and a dog who is not really committed to his house training, and that carpet was at least 20 years old... you get the picture.) I was delighted with the service throughout this experience and I love, love, love my new floor! I'll be calling Susan again."

"Juan and his team were knowledgable, helpful, and friendly throughout the entire process. Juan was incredibly responsive as we were setting up appointments and deciding on the carpet type and color we wanted in our room. Would highly recommend Juan to anyone looking for a professional and reliable partner to take care of their carpeting projects. Thanks Juan!"

"The cleaning results we got using the PowerPro team really blew my mind, WAY exceeded my expectations. Not only did they manage to restore my carpets and area rug to their former glory, but the difference in the air quality in our home is night and day. When Rich showed us what came out of the air ducts...what we were INHALING on a daily basis, we were APPALLED. The air in the house actually SMELLS clean, no more musty, dank dust and pollutants living in the air ducts, what a difference when walking into our own home. Next month we're having them back to clean the stained grout in the kitchen and bathroom tiles. Dealing with Rich and the team was an absolute pleasure, super courteous and accommodating. Will never use anyone else! Now if they only did WINDOWS....?"

"As stated above we have two pets and two kids First off Classic Services came out at the time they specified. They cleaned the carpet and the couches. Its like we have new furniture and a new carpet. They do phenomenal work. The vase of roses is a nice touch as a thank you."
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)

We selected Premier to replace the old carpets in our house with hardwood flooring not only because of the excellent selection of wood flooring offered in the store but also because we were very concerned about getting a high-quality installation. Our conversations with Brian, the proprietor, gave us confidence that we would receive the type of skilled workmanship we were looking for in addressing the many challenges our house presented. We especially wanted clean transitions without reliance on T-moldings and shoe moldings. Premier's installers met our requirements brilliantly, despite the many challenges that appeared only after the carpets had been ripped out:  uneven thicknesses of tile floors abutting the wood to be installed, a stone hearth with an irregular edge, and a brick hearth with an edge that ran at a crooked angle not parallel to the walls of the room. When the job was done, the results were beautiful, and we could not be happier. Thank you, Premier!

Carpet Installation FAQs, answered by experts

When choosing whether to install carpet in your home, consider the pros and cons of this change:

Pros

  • More affordable than laminate flooring

  • Gives the room a warmer feel

  • Softer on feet

  • Wide variety of textures and colors

  • Hides dirt easily

  • Faster and easier to install

Cons

  • Shows wear and tear more quickly than laminate flooring

  • Shows stains

  • Soaks up liquids

  • May not work well in some areas, such as a bathroom

  • Less durable than laminate flooring

  • Susceptible to water damage, mold, and mildew

A stair runner can be cheaper than a carpet and will definitely save money over the cost of refinishing hardwood floors and stairs. The price depends, however, on the fabric and quality of the runner. A wool stair runner can be more expensive than an inexpensive polyester carpet and vice versa. Keep an eye on your budget, knowing that the higher quality the carpet and the carpet pad, the better the carpet will wear over time.

In order to avoid long-lasting waves, indents, or sticking, it’s a good idea to wait at least 24 hours after fresh carpet is laid to put weighty furniture on top of it. However, you can begin walking on your new carpet right after it’s installed, and doing so can actually help it adhere to the floor better.

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

Carpet tiles are less expensive than traditional carpet. The average cost of carpet installation is $1,800, or $3 to $11 per square foot. In comparison, carpet tiles cost $2.50 to $11 apiece and can often be bought in bulk cartons. Since you can more easily DIY carpet tiles, you may be able to save on installation costs, too.
