"Eco Cleaning cleaned all the carpets in my 3-bedroom home, and they absolutely crushed it. Their technician, Eduard., was punctual, courteous, and explained what he was doing the whole time. My carpets are soft again, and even the old juice stains are gone!"

"Giovanni came first to provide a quote and then Leli and Elio immediately followed and did the work. All were friendly, professional and did excellent work. My carpet hadn't been cleaned for years but I am not ready to replace them with hard wood floors so I decided to breathe new life into them for a bit longer. The carpet looks almost new. The same is true for my furniture. I had pet stains everywhere; although they didn't all come up (it was not promised that it would), everything looks nice and clean. I would recommend this company highly."

"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."

"recently had a great experience with Makki Carpet Company. They handled the removal of my old bedroom carpet quickly and professionally, making the whole process stress-free. The installation of the new carpet was done with excellent attention to detail, and the final result looks fantastic. What stood out the most was their reasonable pricing. It’s not always easy to find a company that balances quality work with fair costs, but Makki Carpet Company definitely delivered on both. The team was punctual, courteous, and clearly experienced in what they do. I would highly recommend Makki Carpet Company to anyone looking for reliable carpet removal and installation services at a fair price."

"I can�t find enough positive words to describe my experience with Hamilton Carpet and Floor Covering, Inc.! From the first meeting with George I had a gut feeling I had found someone who was skilled at what he does, and most important, was someone I could trust � no small task! My surprise was that everyone connected with this company is courteous, reliable, honest, professional, fast (but not at the expense of quality), and talented experts at their work. My linoleum floor was done to perfection in less than three hours - everything clean and back in place - and it looks beautiful! I received two follow-up calls from the owners, because that�s the kind of business they run: Anything to make the customer happy � including the price! I highly recommend this wonderful company filled with really good people � both in heart and craft!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the area size and preparation needed.

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.

In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.

If you have a concrete subfloor, you must secure the carpet padding with adhesive or glue. However, if you have a wooden subfloor, use staples instead. Removing a glued-down carpet can be difficult and time-consuming, so it’s best to avoid glue when possible.

In most cases, laminate flooring is better for people with dust or other allergies as laminate is easier to clean. Carpet can trap pollen and other allergens, allowing them to be kicked up into the air again with foot traffic. Consult your flooring specialist about the best types of carpet or laminate flooring to use based on your household member’s needs.
