"We had several jobs done by professional carpet expert Travis. Our carpet looks new as well as our sofas and lazy boy recliner. My ceramic tile floor sparkles like new. 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! ?"

"Their quality of work is excellent. They person showed, removed and disposed of our old carpet and removed all the debris left under the carpet by the original builder. We could barely tell where the carpet was cut to transition from one location to the next."

"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

The difference between a 40-oz. and 60-oz. carpet is the carpet face weight, meaning the 60-oz. carpet weighs 20 ounces more per square yard. When looking at two similar carpets of the same material and type, the 60-oz. carpet face weight likely indicates higher quality and more durability due to heavier carpet fibers. 

Carpet density refers to how closely together the fibers of a carpet are stitched into the carpet backing, with values ranging from 1,000 to 7,000. A carpet density value of 3,000 or higher is considered best for most homes, especially in high-traffic areas, such as a living room or dining room. If you’re comparing two carpets made of the same material, a higher carpet density can indicate better durability and longevity. However, carpet density is only one of many factors that can help you determine a carpet’s quality.

In most cases, carpeting isn’t kind to the wood that it’s attached to. Most carpet installation uses adhesive or nailing strips, both of which will damage wood. Conversely, you can choose to use an adhesive designed to be removed from wood, in which case carpeting can actually protect your hardwood stairs.

Installing carpet padding is mostly a matter of measuring the room and cutting the carpet pad to size with a utility knife. You can save some money on carpet installation costs by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room’s perimeter and prepare the subfloor by cleaning and making any necessary repairs. Then, unroll the carpet pad and cut sections as needed. Staple the carpet pad to the subfloor along the edges, leaving the tack strips exposed.

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.
