"My wall to wall carpets were a disaster. Hews Carpet Care LLC saved them. Now I don't have to buy replacement carpeting. The price was reasonable for the amount of carpet I have."

"Due to all the rain we had last few weeks, we had the water coming into our basement and damaging our carpet. So for the second time we turn to District Floor Depot. They offer the excellent selection of products, stress-free installation and very good price. I would highly recommend District Floor Depot to anybody in a need of new floors."

"I didnt like the fact that the tech did not have on shoe covers and he walked all over the rooms that were being treated. I did not appreciate that at all. And when I asked why he wasnt wearing them, he said he was going to back out of the living room to the outside so he couldnt walk on the carpet when he was done. Not acceptable. It appeared as if my concern was of little importance to him. Because he didnt have on shoe covers, i had to unplug the machine for him when he was done. Also, the carpet smelled sour after cleaning instead of fresh. perhaps the machine where the water was being held needed to be cleaned. As for the furniture, he did remove some light stains from the seat cushions, but the back pillows were not nearly cleaned to my satisfaction. I wont be using them again. All I saw was plain water coming out of the house to clean the carpet and chairs."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.

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.

While not always required, experts recommend removing baseboards before removing old carpet and installing a new one. This practice leads to a smoother process and a cleaner, more professional-looking finish. Removing the baseboards allows for a seamless carpet installation without the risk of damaging either the carpet or the trim. It also provides a good opportunity to repaint or stain the baseboards and inspect the underlying wall for any issues. If you prefer a quicker option, you can carefully cut the old carpet along the edge of the baseboards, but this may result in a less polished installation for the new carpet.

A 65-oz. carpet is good, and in many cases, it indicates a premium carpet. Most carpets for homes should fall in the range of 40 to 60 ounces for face weight. If a carpet has a 65-oz. face weight, it is likely more durable and long-lasting than a similar carpet with a lower face weight. Carpet face weight is just one factor in determining a carpet’s quality. 

Avoid plush, high-pile, or thick carpets on your stairs because they can increase the risk of slipping and wear down quickly in busy homes. Also, ensure the carpet you install is stain-resistant, particularly if you select a light color.
