"I called Stacy's with a vague idea of what I wanted done, but with a somewhat limited availability due to personal work constraints. They were EXTREMELY fast, professional, and forthcoming with their timelines, quotes, and worked with my availability. They came in and provided a cleaning that went well above expectations! And the price was very close to the quote provided (even though I added a room on the day of the cleaning). I would HIGHLY recommend their services to anyone who needs cleaning!"

"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."

Small jobs welcome

Hey there! My name is Emily Jenniges and I am a small business owner doing cleaning, organizing, and interior decorating. I’ve been in business for over a year now and I’ve always wanted to especially work with airbnbs. I love setting up and refreshing homes for guests, that’s why I’d be perfect to help you! The reason I run a SMALL business is because I don’t believe in charging outrageous prices and having no personality when it comes to what I do for a career. I like to offer fair pricing that helps the both of us and also work great under pressure- so if it’s a last minute thing and I have to move around some clients, I’m totally okay with that! I love what I do and I offer so many things besides cleaning. If you’d like to redecorate your Airbnb, or you need ideas for how to make it a cool space, I’m absolutely your girl! For bigger cleans like this, my schedule usually operates on the weekends, but again, if you are in need of someone in a hurry, I make that work as well!

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.

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.

Some flooring companies recycle old carpet after replacing it. The broader flooring industry has been moving toward recycling more carpet material. However, whether an individual carpet gets recycled is up to the flooring company that removes it. When gathering quotes for new flooring in your area, ask each company about removal options and what they do with the material.

If the stairs are already covered in carpet, you will need to remove the old carpet and possibly the carpet pad. Any damage to the stairs like cracks, loose boards, or creaky treads may also need to be repaired. You may also want to sand and refinish or paint wood stairs before installing a carpet runner.

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.
