"Amilcar was patient, friendly and professional. He wasn't rushed while working and he was very concerned that I'd be completely satisfied with the outcome of the repairs he made to my carpet as well as the re-installation of my carpet, before accepting payment! His price was more than fair and competitive with the other estimates I received. He never once tried to upcharge me (as some professionals do - after they arrive). I whole heartedly recommend Amilcar of Best Flooring! I'm very satisfied with his work and price."
"We are very happy & pleased with our carpet selection, purchase, installation and especially the personalized customer service provided by North Star Carpet . The carpet is beautiful-thick and luxurious . The owners are top notch. Pete Harris, even ordered us more carpet to fix an area that wasn't perfect. He came back, took care of our problem, himself, until it met our satisfaction. I will definetly recommend North Star Carpet to my friends."
"Wonderfully well. A specialist in stretching came in first and removed every bump. The owner Nathan, did the cleaning himself. He called the following day and ask how it was. I told him that the carpet looked great but there were a couple of spots that came up when it dried. Nathan immediately made arrangements to follow up with a visit to my home. He was a pleasure to deal with!"
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.
Maintenance practices include regular vacuuming, prompt spill cleaning, and periodic professional deep-cleaning to remove embedded dirt particles and rejuvenate fibers.
The best way to fix carpet matting is to start by vacuuming thoroughly in multiple directions to lift the flattened fibers. For more stubborn spots, apply moisture with an ice cube or steam, then fluff the carpet using a spoon, comb, or carpet brush. A blow dryer or warm iron over a damp towel can also help restore the carpet’s texture. For deep or widespread matting, a professional cleaning is your best bet to fluff your carpet back up to its former glory.
You can save money on labor costs by removing your old carpet before the professionals come in to install the new carpet. Just make sure to clear it with your contractor ahead of time. You might also be able to cut costs by buying carpet at certain times of year when it’s less expensive. These periods include late December to mid-January and late spring to early summer.
