Q: How to fix squeaky floorboards without removing carpet?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Are stairs safer with or without carpet?

• <div><p>In some cases, stairs without carpet are actually slipperier than carpeted stairs, but if the carpet is brand new, dirty, or just slick, it may seem like your stairs are the most slippery ones in existence. Fortunately, traction treads can be added over most stair surface materials, increasing the traction you&rsquo;re able to get and reducing the risk of slipping. </p></div>

Q: What is the best solvent for removing carpet glue?

• <div><p>The best solvent for removing carpet glue depends on its chemical composition. Most carpet glue reacts well to a solvent made from orange oil. Use mineral spirits to remove tar-based glue, which has a darker, brownish tint. Methylene chloride paint stripper and lacquer thinner should also work, but beware of the nasty and dangerous fumes.</p></div>

Q: Is it suitable for every carpet type?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals ensure repair work aligns with existing floors?

• <div><p>Through accurate measurements and dye matching to the original finishes.</p></div>

I love this company. They arrive on time and get my carpets cleaned quickly and well. I love their dry process so you do not have to wait hours for your carpet to dry. I have used them for several years and will continue to use them as long as I need my carpets cleaned and protected!

The carpet cleaning was good and I would have given that an A. But, what they did on the tile was very unsatisfactory. I didn't shop for the price. I would like to try someone else. The tile work was insufficient but their comment was that it was as good as it would get. I had another workman...

He seemed to do excellent work, and was very thorough. The down side, and only one, is that he was very expensive. We had another contractor do some different plumbing work the following month and he confirmed that we paid a high price.
