One of the best feelings in the world is that comfort of walking into a clean home where everything is nice and tidy and welcoming you to relax, host, spend time with the family or whatever it is that you want to do in your home. I enjoy making your space into this clean and welcoming environment that you've been wanting. As a professional cleaner I take pride in my work. I can make any area, no matter the clutter and grime, into a nice, comfortable space for you to enjoy your time. I want you to feel good about your space. From ceiling to floor I can guarantee no dust, clutter, fingerprints, spills or dirt. I check every little detail. I also have experience in hotel housekeeping & hospitality and can make your space have that special hotel freshness. So relax, I'm here to do the dirty work so you don't have to. I can do reoccurring cleanings, move out or move in cleanings making sure it looks like no one ever even lived there, or I can just do a reset for you! If things feel overwhelming, let me help you reset your home fresh and new! From ceilings to walls, carpets, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms even laundry if you'd like! -I can do it all.

"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 . . . ."

"My job had drywall repair, painting, and carpet & LVT installation. Value was high. Initial estimate of time to complete job was unsurprisingly a bit low. Good communication."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Choosing the right carpet involves assessing room usage, desired comfort levels, durability requirements, and stylistic preferences. Carpet fiber types and density should also be considered during the decision-making process.

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.

While it is possible to install carpet yourself, it is a challenging DIY project that requires precise measurement, proper cutting skills, and knowledge of correct installation techniques. The process involves multiple steps, including removing old flooring, installing underlayment and tack strips, and stretching the carpet to prevent wrinkles, which can take several days to complete.

Before starting, consider these factors:

  • Warranty: Many manufacturers' warranties are voided if the carpet is not installed by a professional.

  • Tools: You will need to buy or rent specialized equipment like a knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller.

  • Complexity: DIY installation is most suitable for simple, straightforward rooms. Projects involving stairs or floor vents are significantly more difficult.

  • Cost: While you can save on labor, the cost of tools plus the risk of expensive mistakes—which may require re-installation—can make hiring a professional more cost-effective in the long run.

Given the potential for errors, voided warranties, and the need for special tools, hiring a local carpet installer is often recommended to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

The life span of carpet in a home with children and animals depends on factors like the carpet material’s quality, how frequently you clean and maintain it, and the level of foot traffic. On average, carpets need to be replaced every five to 15 years. Signs of wear, matting, or persistent odors may indicate that it's time to contact a local flooring company to replace your carpet.

DIY is possible for small areas. Professional installation ensures proper stretching and a polished finish.
