"Angie's List turned up Robin's Cleaning Service as a possible contractor for carpet cleaning. We went with her since she's independent and relatively local (Gretna). She came today, worked hard for over two hours to clean our Master BR and closet, lower staircase and roughly 1/4 of the lower living area, and did a lovely, attentive and thorough job for $225. Very pleasant--does carpets and other cleaning, painting, landscaping, mowing and pressure washing between morning and evening school bus driving for Gretna public schools (all three levels). Just a really sweet lady whom we enjoyed getting to know. If you have odd jobs, give her a chance. Robin Hall, 434-728-0529, is highly recommended!

"I was a little skeptical at first about ordering my carpeting on line. The process was pretty painless. It was easy and the customer service was great. I am very happy with the final product. I love my bedroom again, the carpet is so soft!"

"Searching the internet for local cleaners to complete a deep clean prior to the holiday was a stressful and tedious process. I found NuClean through Angi ,requested a quote and they responded promptly. After patiently answering all of my questions (I ask a lot of questions..) regarding their services, I booked a deep cleaning (3 bed/3 bath). Taria and Josh arrived to our home as scheduled and greeted us as if we were friends who hadn’t seen each other in awhile. We have two dogs, so I took Taria & Josh on a quick tour of the home with a game plan to transfer the dogs. Dear reader.. When I tell you that upon completion of the bottom floor, I requested them to come back, I AM NOT KIDDING. As we simultaneously worked on laundry and other things in the house, it felt like we assembled a team of friends to help us get the house ready for a party. We absolutely loved having them in our home and they did an amazing job. (Amazing doesn’t even really cut it.. if you are thinking about it, do it. Just do it) We are so thankful that NuClean was able to see us, provide the type of clean that immediately makes you feel like a weight has lifted off of you, and have the opportunity to work with them again. Some say, when you want it done right, you have to do it yourself.. We are here to say you don’t, HIRE NuClean NOW, but don’t’ book them out so far they cant’t come back to our house!!"

"I have known the owners personally for almost six years when I babysat for them, which transitioned to a friendship. Now, I am blessed to have these friends come into our home and help us make sense of the chaos. We have two adults working full-time with three special needs kiddos. It's A LOT. So, having a service that can come and either help us catch up on housework, or tackle the more deep-cleaning tasks is a HUGE help!"

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.

You may get better coverage painting your baseboards if you do so before carpet is installed. The best course of action may be to attempt to paint them between having the old floor removed and the new floor laid, though this will render the room unusable for a period of time and may make the entire project a bit slower overall.

Carpet installers use furniture sliders or blankets to protect your furniture during the installation process. They handle each piece with care to minimize the risk of damage. Additionally, they may employ techniques such as lifting and shifting furniture rather than dragging it across the floor to prevent scratches or other marks. If you have particularly delicate or heavy items that need to be moved, discuss special handling with the installers beforehand.

Installing carpet over carpet may negatively impact the resale value of your home. While it offers a quick fix, potential buyers may view it as a temporary solution rather than a long-term investment in quality flooring. Properly installed and maintained flooring adds value to a home, so removing the existing carpet and installing new flooring may be a better option to attract prospective buyers and maximize resale value.

It is normal to glue carpet down, though it’s not the only or the most popular method of installing carpet. Modern techniques include tack strips and stretching the carpet, but you might still find glued carpet in older homes or a home with a DIY’d past. Removing a glued-down carpet will be harder compared to other methods of installation.
