I am so grateful to have located Matthew the owner of Ace Carpet Cleaning. Matt & Travis are very professional Christian young men who truly care about doing a great job for their customers. Wanting to please their customers is their goal while doing their job. I definitely will be a return customer! ?"

"Can't recommend MP Carpet and Floors highly enough. Really easy to do business with and the price seemed fair. The crew did great work. They picked up my carpet from the Mohawk warehouse in Flower Mound, stored it for me for two weeks, then brought it to my home and completed the job in a morning. I highly recommend them."

"Last week we had Squeeky Clean come in and clean carpets. I had a great experience dealing with Wendy! Customer service was awesome. I got a call back the same day. And the work was done the very next day. The man who cleaned our rugs was fantastic! He was very receptive to our dog as well! I have already told folks about my experience and referred you all to everyone I know. We were very impressed with the service. And we will use you all again. Thank you"

"The work and service were straightforward. They were able to match my existing laminate nearly exactly. They kept me informed by phone on exactly when they would come and the estimate was correct. The men were clean, fast, and did a great job on the floor replacement. They even took all the leftover mess, carpet, and other materials with them when they left. Can't wait to hire them again for my next project."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Several types of flooring can be installed over existing tile, provided the current tiles are in good condition. Options include vinyl, vinyl plank, laminate, engineered wood, hardwood, carpet, and cork. Among these, various types of vinyl and engineered wood are the most common choices due to their versatility. Alternatively, you can install new tiles on top of your current ones if you like tile floors but want to update the look. Before proceeding with any new flooring, it's crucial to ensure your existing tiles are not damaged; otherwise, they will need to be removed first.

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.

While not always required, experts recommend removing baseboards before removing old carpet and installing a new one. This practice leads to a smoother process and a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. Removing the baseboards allows for a seamless carpet installation without the risk of damaging either the carpet or the trim. It also provides a good opportunity to repaint or stain the baseboards and inspect the underlying wall for any issues. If you prefer a quicker option, you can carefully cut the old carpet along the edge of the baseboards, but this may result in a less polished installation for the new carpet.

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.

When deciding whether to repair or replace your carpet, consider its age, the extent of the damage, and its location. It's often best to replace the entire carpet if the damage is extensive, such as large sections needing replacement, or if it's caused by water, which can lead to mold problems. Similarly, if your carpet is nearing a decade old, replacement is likely the more logical choice. On the other hand, consider repairing your carpet if the damage is localized to one spot, like minor rips or snags, the carpet is still relatively new, or the damage is in a low-traffic area of your home.
