"We wanted to finish the lower level of our tri-level, including vinyl flooring in a large laundry room, wide hallway area, and a bathroom; and carpeting in a large family room.  Salesperson Tim got an idea of the level of quality, style and price point we were looking for.  He was able to provide a very large "remnant" of beautiful, quality vinyl flooring at a very, verrrrrry good price.  The installation of that took all day by one man.  He did a wonderful job prepping the floor and and took meticulous care with the installation. 
The price of the medium-high quality carpeting/pad/installation we chose was good, better than two other popular/highly-rated stores we checked out.  I think the price of the carpet/pad was a bit higher than elsewhere, but the installation was less expensive.  Or was it the other way around?  Whatever...overall, it was better than others'.  The two-man installation crew took just a half day to remove a large piece of non-wall-to-wall carpeting we threw down 22 years ago and to install the padding/carpeting.  Plus, they took the old carpet with them!
Everything looks beautiful.  The only hiccup we encountered was that when the carpet installation date rolled around, we weren't told until we called that morning that the carpet hadn't come in.  Had to re-schedule for a week later.  Hence, the "B" rating for punctuality.  Otherwise, they showed up when they said they would.
Overall, we are very pleased and would indeed do business with them again.

"David installed carpet and pad in five rooms and three sets of steps in our condo. He also installed vinyl flooring in the kitchen, two bathrooms and the foyer. I am very please with the quality of his work. He even caulked around the edges of the vinyl where it met the baseboard. He cleaned up all the scraps and vacuumed the carpet before he left. I would definitely use him again, and would recommend his work to others."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Professionals ensure effective adhesion by choosing the right adhesive for the materials, preparing surfaces properly, and applying pressure as needed. This attention to detail ensures durable connections in various applications from construction to repairs.

While some carpet repair kits exist and only cost around $15, they are not usually appropriate for Berber repair. Typically, they include small pieces of fibers to use as patches, and Berber carpets are typically colored very differently from other kinds of carpets. This is why it is imperative to try and locate a spare piece of carpet from your original installation when you need to patch up an area.

In addition, the tools these kits include are often watered-down versions of the ones you can buy individually from your local hardware store (e.g., the glue in the kit will not be as strong as your hot glue gun or the double-sided carpet tape).

No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.
