"I live in Arlington, TX and I was needing to have the carpet in my living room cleaned and was hoping to have it done the same days since the furniture would already be out of the room. I went through Angi and received a call from Matthew B, owner with Ace Carpet Cleaning and Water Restoration. I explained what I needed and Matthew said that he could get to it the same day. This is just what I was hoping for. Matthew was very helpful and friendly. Later that day Travis showed up to do the stretching for Ace Carpet Cleaning and he was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely professional, very personal, likeable, and worked hard. He did an outstanding job cleaning the carpet. I am not sure how old the carpet is in this house but it is at least 35 to 40 yrs old. I could not believe how clean Travis was able to get the carpet. My wife and I were amazed. It was a great experience with Ace Carpet Cleaning but even more so meeting Travis."

"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."

"I found BA Carpet Cleaning of course through Angi and I'm so pleased with Brandon the BA Tech that came to our home and made our carpet look new again, and for the outstanding job he did on our move-out house cleaning. BA Carpet cleaning is fair and honest pricing and professionalism. We needed this project done, in order to get our home listed for sale. BA Carpet Cleaning was able to work with me on scheduling this project several weeks in advance, in order to allow me to focus on other matters with the move. Brandon was on time and did a FANTASTIC job cleaning the carpet in 3 bedrooms, staircase and living room area. If I ever need a home cleaning again, I will look no further than BA Carpet Cleaning....I highly recommend them to any and everyone"

"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"

"Erik was very responsive. He scheduled a visit on a very short notice to take measurements, show us the different carpet samples, and provide a competitive price. He was also able to schedule a crew within less than 24 hours. They showed up on time, replaced the carpet on a huge house the same day, and were very courteous. I highly recommend EFS Flooring America."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

While it is possible to install carpet yourself, it is a challenging DIY project that requires precise measurement, proper cutting skills, and knowledge of correct installation techniques. The process involves multiple steps, including removing old flooring, installing underlayment and tack strips, and stretching the carpet to prevent wrinkles, which can take several days to complete.

Before starting, consider these factors:

  • Warranty: Many manufacturers' warranties are voided if the carpet is not installed by a professional.

  • Tools: You will need to buy or rent specialized equipment like a knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller.

  • Complexity: DIY installation is most suitable for simple, straightforward rooms. Projects involving stairs or floor vents are significantly more difficult.

  • Cost: While you can save on labor, the cost of tools plus the risk of expensive mistakes—which may require re-installation—can make hiring a professional more cost-effective in the long run.

Given the potential for errors, voided warranties, and the need for special tools, hiring a local carpet installer is often recommended to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

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.

Experts advise that replacing carpeting can bring a 50% to 80% return on investment. However, new carpeting doesn’t necessarily add value to your overall home value. Because flooring value heavily depends on taste, it can be tricky to determine whether new carpet will increase your home sale price. Carpeting tends to be a renovation that increases overall comfort and aesthetics for your home, but it’s not a big factor in value.

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.

Yes, there are plenty of ways to lay stair carpet without grippers, such as carpet adhesive, magnetic flooring, or staples. Adhesive may be your best bet if you don’t want grippers, as it will most likely stick the best and cause the least amount of damage. However, if you’re looking for an easy fix, grippers are one of the best solutions you can purchase.
