"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

Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to install carpet over concrete, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive.

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.

When installing carpeting on your steps, start at the top and work your way to the bottom. That way, you can easily control the carpet and create a better seal. This approach prevents the carpet from bunching up or creating wrinkles as you work. You’ll have better leverage over it as gravity helps guide it down each step.

Yes, laying laminate over carpet may void the warranty of your flooring. Most laminate manufacturers specify installation over a suitable subfloor, not carpet. Deviating from these installation guidelines can invalidate the warranty. You should stick to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure warranty coverage, and you should always consult with professional laminate flooring installers near you if you have any concerns or questions regarding installation methods.

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.
