"My friend recommended them to me and they came out really quickly to give me an estimate, then I got a date scheduled for them to come out and replace the carpet in the lower apartment all under what the other company quoted to me as by about $1.5-2K the other company I tried to use for the project gave me a made up number with out taking any measurements just a visual and was also 6 hours late. Though I think it was just that one person who slipped up on the estimate walk around. So I can't really say if the other company who shall remain nameless is really that bad to deal with here."

"Shaunna and Shamond came to my home today for carpet cleaning as well as a general clean of three of my bathrooms. Initially, I booked with Green Pro for the carpet cleaning however, when they said they also provide regular cleaning services, I added it on for my bathrooms. As a mother of two young children and a busy household, I needed help. I am so glad Shaunna and Shamond treated my home with care and delivered on cleanliness. They each ensured my satisfaction was above average and provided an excellent service in a time of need. Thank you both for being so kind and delivering great service!"

"this was the second time I have used this company.  The first time was approximately a year and a half before the second time.  I have ended up with a rental property which was not planned.  Therefore, my experience with dealing in these situations is fairly limited.  I had tenants moved out and the carpets appeared to need to be replaced.  This was sort of my previous experience with this company, but the carpets were in worse shape the first time.  That is the reason I called them and did not give it a second thought.  They arrived on time as they said.  They performed carpet cleaning and odor control services for two different houses.  We were selective on putting the resources where the carpets were most damaged.  By the time they had completed the job.  They had
fixed all the torn areas of the carpet and had cleaned/deodorized the carpet so that it did not need to be replaced.  When the new tenants came in, they had even remarked about their surprise that the old carpets were able to be saved.

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Carpeting lasts between 10 and 15 years in most cases, but keep an eye out for common signs that it's time to replace it. Persistent smells despite deep cleaning, faded color, worn-down carpet padding, and general wear and tear are signs that it's time to tear it up. If you are experiencing allergy issues indoors, this could also be a sign that new flooring is the key to a fresher home.

Nylon carpet is widely considered one of the most durable and longest-lasting options, typically lasting 12 to 15 years. Its durability comes from its high resistance to wear, tear, stains, fading, and abrasions. It also resists liquid spills, insects, mold, and mildew, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms and hallways. For even greater longevity, frieze or Berber carpets are excellent choices that can last up to 20 to 25 years.

Beyond the material, a carpet's construction is key to its durability. Low-pile carpets with short, tight loops hold up better against wear than high-pile options. As a synthetic material, nylon is available in a vast range of colors and styles and often feels remarkably soft.

In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.
