"Marcus, a representative for Zerorex came out to price cleaning my carpets. He was very fair in price and also very personable. An appointment was made and when he came again all went very well and in a timely fashion.I worked with another carpet cleaner about a year ago in another home and the experience did not go nearly as smooth. I would recommend Zerorez to anyone needing any cleaning service that Zerorez offers. No pressure,and a job well done was greatly appreciated. Thanks, Gary"
"I had 2 exterior doors that had rotted wood around the framing and the center supports and needed new thresholds. Oscar from King Contracting came out and gave me a detailed explanation of what would be done and sent a detailed estimate of repairs. The repairs were done to specification and the carpenter, Alberto did an exacting, excellent job. The site was cleaned up and project done on time. Oscar came back to inspect the next day and I told him how pleased I was with the work Alberto had done. I would definitely hire his company again for repairs at our home."
"The price was completely out of our budget -- despite what we stated we were able to pay. Additionally, we received 3 other estimates that were 40% cheaper that what Empire could offer AND included materials to cover our problematic stairs -- which Empire suggested staining to match the laminate."
Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts
The costs range from $3 to $10 per square foot, depending on the carpet type, labor, and subfloor preparation.
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.
It’s a good idea to install a rug pad under the carpet for your stairs. To make the pad fit, you’ll need to cut one section for each stair tread that’s about one inch narrower than the stair runner so that it won’t be visible once the carpet is installed on top.
A transition piece between carpet stairs and wood flooring isn't always necessary. A transition piece separates two types of flooring in between rooms and areas, like carpet and vinyl. Because the carpet on the stairs tucks into the seam, you can’t see the fringes, and there is no need to hide anything. However, you can use a stair cap if your stairs have a nose.
In order to avoid long-lasting waves, indents, or sticking, it’s a good idea to wait at least 24 hours after fresh carpet is laid to put weighty furniture on top of it. However, you can begin walking on your new carpet right after it’s installed, and doing so can actually help it adhere to the floor better.
