"It went great.  The gentlemen arrived on time, went right to work and did exactly what they said they were going to do.
The carpets look much better than when they started.  They were pleasant and professional.  We were very happy with their work.

"Samuel cleaned my 4 bedrooms, hallway, living room and 30 stairs .... they price was reasonable, I loved that he confirmed the price with me before starting (so no hidden costs) and they look AMAZING! I have three teenagers. NEVER expected this result! I would recommend this company in a heartbeat! 5 room special: $129 2 complete flights of stairs: $80 (Sorry pictures are turned - can't figure out why or how to fix but hopefully you get the point.)"

"Sara and Natasha were so prompt with responding to my inquiry. They quickly scheduled a time to come to our home, at which time we discussed exactly what weâ d like to have done. They were able to accommodate our schedule and trudged through the worst snowstorm of 2020 to fulfill their obligation. Honestly, I canâ t say enough good things about their service and would have them return if the need arises ."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls, and its cushioning can lessen the severity of an injury if a fall does occur. Hard surfaces often lack the friction needed for a secure tread and can be quite slippery.

However, it's worth noting that some carpets can also be slick, particularly if they are brand new, dirty, or made from certain materials. If any stair surface feels too slippery, traction treads can be added to most materials to increase grip and improve safety.

The average cost to install new flooring is around $3,162, with a typical price range between $1,530 and $4,860. On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay an average of $3 to $22, including installation. Several factors influence the total price, including the flooring material, project size, geographic location, and any special features. Material choice is a significant cost driver; vinyl plank, linoleum, and carpet are on the lower end ($3 to $7 per square foot), while stone, tile, and hardwood are more expensive, with hardwood reaching up to $22 per square foot. Prices can also vary by region, and installing flooring on stairs will add to the cost, typically ranging from $11 to $160 per step.

If you’re using a carpet runner instead of a traditional carpet, pay attention to your width measurements. Instead of measuring the total width of your staircase with 2 added inches for foldover, simply measure the width you’d like the runner to cover. Runners generally come in standard sizes, so you may need to approximate what would look best in your space.

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.

If you want your carpet to last as long as possible, then yes, you need to install carpet padding. Carpet padding creates a layer of protection between the back of your carpet and the floor beneath it, which decreases friction and reduces wear and tear. Aside from that, carpet padding also helps absorb noise and makes your carpet feel more comfortable underfoot.
