"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

Most projects take 1-3 days, depending on space size and complexity.

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.

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

  • There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.

  • The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.

  • Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

You can save money on labor costs by removing your old carpet before the professionals come in to install the new carpet. Just make sure to clear it with your contractor ahead of time. You might also be able to cut costs by buying carpet at certain times of year when it’s less expensive. These periods include late December to mid-January and late spring to early summer.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.
