"Jim showed up on time and set everything up neatly to protect floor, staircase, etc. He pre-treated the carpets and explained the cleaning process along with how to properly let the treated areas dry. The carpets and area rugs look great. Would absolutely use this company again."

"He did a GREAT job matching up a patch area of carpeting that my dog decided to tear up. I did not have the money to replace the entire living room and had a remnant piece of carpeting that he was able to cut and patch in. GREAT work!!! Would definitely recommend his services!"

"I was truly impressed by the exceptional quality of service provided by RIVERVIEW CARPETING. I sincerely appreciated their efficient and responsive customer service, the level of detail and accountability they exhibited as my projects were completed, and the overall manner in which they conducted business as a whole. I used Angie’s List to select four companies who specialized in carpet installation. After meeting with Mr. Bob Bierly, my search was over. He listened to all my concerns with a great deal of patience and provided timely and helpful advice regarding brands, products, and recommended features. Mr. Bierly displayed a high level of professionalism, experience, dedication and commitment to quality that was compelling and sincere. During the installation process, the collective abilities of the skilled workers were complimentary to each other and were of great value to the meticulous installation process. I would definitely recommend Riverview Carpeting to others with no hesitation."

"Nick showed up on time and did a great job. We had a lot of stains of all kinds and he got them all out in addition to making the rest of our basement carpet look brand new! I can not recommend him highly enough. We will be using him again soon to do our second floor."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Decent carpet will last around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You’ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.

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.

DIY is possible for small areas. Professional installation ensures proper stretching and a polished finish.

Many DIYers and pros start installing flooring in the middle of a room to ensure a balanced, symmetrical layout, especially when using tiles or planks. This process is particularly helpful in odd-shaped rooms because it allows you to create a centerline from which to work. Beginning in the center will enable you to work toward the edges so the final layout feels intentional and centered, even if the walls aren’t perfectly square.

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.
