"From the first time I met with Donnie to the last thing that was done the workers and everything that was done was professional. Our church was a big job to tackle and they did it in less time than was expected. I am very glad we hired A&B Flooring and would definitely recommend them to anyone. I know the next time we need carpeting either at the church or at my home A&B Flooring will be who I call."

"They showed up when they said they would. The installers were great. I had several rooms done and spent $16K. The wood floor and vinyl is good quality and I have no complaints. I had issue with the carpet installed. It was a short textured carpet, not as dense as I thought it would be. It shows every foot print (including tread marks) and every wheel mark from the vacuum indefinitely. The carpet has no memory and does not rebound after being walked on. It's like stepping in mud where every footprint is preserved. I expressed my concern, but they said it was normal. I first heard several excuses and was told after a month it would relax and look better. Then they inspected it and told me it was the light from the windows making it look that way. Finally, they made me an offer to replace it if I bought two more rooms and a stairway in addition, but the total price was still more expensive than the competition. I ended up getting a higher quality of carpet elsewhere for less money."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

While it may not always be ideal, you can fix a squeaky floorboard without removing the carpet. Pros use specialized carpet screws and drive them through the carpet into the subfloor, securing floorboards. They may also use nails instead of screws if they suspect the pile will get caught in the screw. While some types of carpet will hide the screws and nails, a low-pile carpet may not.

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.

Regular vacuuming is essential in homes with animals and children to remove pet hair, dirt, and debris from the carpet's surface. Additionally, prompt cleaning of spills and accidents can prevent stains from setting in. Consider using carpet protectors or area rugs in high-traffic areas to minimize wear and tear on your new carpeting.

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).

An Oriental rug should last between 50 and 100 years, on average, but yours could last much longer than a century if you care for it properly. There are many factors that affect the lifespan of an Oriental rug, though. Increased foot traffic, exposure to moisture, exposure to UV light and sunlight, and aggressive cleaning can all limit how long your rug will last.
