"If there were 10 stars, I'd give them to Parker's Carpet Care. They did a phenomenal job on my carpets, rugs and carpeted stairway. We have dogs and cats and my carpets look brand new. I'm fussy, I'll admit. The last few carpet cleaning companies I had left me disappointed and weary. (Didn't care, didn't do a good job, wanted to get paid and get out.). Parkers was friendly on the phone, answered questions, confirmed the appointment on day of, showed up on time and did a thorough and completely mindblowing job of cleaning and restoring my carpets. He even did parts of my stairs by hand!! I'm very pleased and can recommend Parker's without any hesitation. Warm, friendly and knows how to clean carpets! Extremely fair pricing, too."

"Awesome! I could not be more pleased with my experience. Mr. Gardner took extra time to answer multiple questions and offered advice for future maintenance. My carpets were beautifully cleaned and one carpet that I thought was a "goner" was restored. From my initial contact to the time he walked out of my house was five star professional. He even left "shoe covers" for my family so the carpet wouldn't be soiled while drying. A customer could not ask for more . . . ."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls, and its cushioning can lessen the severity of an injury if a fall does occur. Hard surfaces often lack the friction needed for a secure tread and can be quite slippery.

However, it's worth noting that some carpets can also be slick, particularly if they are brand new, dirty, or made from certain materials. If any stair surface feels too slippery, traction treads can be added to most materials to increase grip and improve safety.

Smaller carpet installations may take less than a day, while full-home installations can take several days. However, your carpet installation timeline will ultimately depend on a few factors, including the number of rooms you’re renovating, the project’s total square footage, and the carpet type. Installation will take longer if your carpet company needs to repair your subfloor or remove old tile flooring.

Carpet padding costs an average of $510 to purchase and install in a 225-square-foot room. The price can range from as low as $170 to as much as $850, depending on the brand, the thickness, and the labor cost. Although carpet padding will increase the overall cost of carpet installation, it also helps the carpet hold up longer, reduces noise in the room, and provides more insulation.

Installing carpet over carpet may affect the warranty of the new carpet. Check with the manufacturer or retailer regarding their warranty policies. Many warranties stipulate specific installation guidelines, and installing carpet over carpet may not comply with these requirements. Voiding the warranty due to improper installation methods can leave you without help in case of issues or defects with the new carpet.

It is not recommended to install or stretch a carpet without a power stretcher. Skipping essential tools like a power stretcher and a knee kicker will likely result in an improper installation, leaving you with wrinkles, creases, and an unappealing final look. While a knee kicker can provide some limited stretching for thinner carpets, it is not a proper substitute. Attempting to stretch a carpet by hand or with homemade tools can also shorten its lifespan. For the best results, you should buy or rent a stretcher. If you do not want to use a stretcher, it is better to hire a professional for the installation.
