"I have hired TBS Maintenance for over 25 years. Originally, I used the company to clean the white carpets and rugs in our 4,000-square-foot home. Their work was so outstanding that in 2009, I began hiring them annually to clean my business office as well. Our 2,000-square-foot office saw constant foot traffic from general and skilled laborers—many of whom came straight from construction sites. Despite the heavy wear on the carpets, stairs, and upholstered chairs, TBS consistently made everything look brand new. TBS is incredibly proficient and knowledgeable about all things related to carpets and materials. They provide honest assessments up front. Carpets were never oversaturated, always dried in a reasonable time, and furniture that couldn’t be moved was handled with care. Stan Brown was present at every job, either working hands-on or supervising his team. He’s punctual, professional, and always honored his quotes. I wholeheartedly recommend TBS Maintenance."

"It was very easy to set up a day and time. They came home in 2 days after my call. They repair the space that I asked and for that, they need it some carpet that I had in a walking closet. They took that out, repaired it, and he offer me for free a piece that match good in the closet. They were fast, easy and very convenient in price. He told me that he wants to see the clients happy, so he offers me lifetime warranty."

"We could not have been happier with work done by Ruben, Chris, and their whole crew. After meeting with over ten contractors, we chose All Floor Solutions to replace our baseboards and install new carpet throughout our 2nd floor. We chose All Floor Solutions because we trusted that Ruben and crew would do great work, and we felt their estimate was fairly priced for the project. Ruben was on site everyday actively managing the project to ensure its on time conclusion. Chris, Ruben Sr and the whole crew was very professional, courteous, and did exceptionably good work. With so many contractors to choose from, it can sometimes be hard to know which one you can actually trust to do great work and be fairly priced. Ruben and All Floor Solutions were not the cheapest we interviewed nor the most expensive, but their estimate was fair. And there weren’t any “surprise” charges at the end either - the price we’d agreed upon at the beginning was the price we paid at the end. I"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, carpeted stairs are generally considered safer than stairs with hard surfaces like wood, vinyl, or tile. Carpet provides more traction, which helps reduce the chances of slips and falls, and its cushioning can lessen the severity of an injury if a fall does occur. Hard surfaces often lack the friction needed for a secure tread and can be quite slippery.

However, it's worth noting that some carpets can also be slick, particularly if they are brand new, dirty, or made from certain materials. If any stair surface feels too slippery, traction treads can be added to most materials to increase grip and improve safety.

In most cases, you do not need to put padding or underlayment under carpet tiles. Unlike traditional carpet, which requires a separate pad, carpet tiles are designed to be installed directly onto a firm subfloor like plywood, concrete, or tile. Many carpet tiles come with a built-in underlay and attach with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or glue. For a more comfortable, cushioned feel, especially in residential settings, you can opt for padded carpet tiles that have a thicker underlay attached. While it's generally not recommended to install a separate pad, a compact underlayment might be used in some situations, though this typically requires professional installation. An acoustic underlay may also be considered in commercial spaces or multi-level homes where noise reduction is a priority.

Yes, carpet tiles are easy to install—even if you don’t have much DIY experience. In fact, the simple installation process is one of the main reasons that people choose carpet tiles over traditional carpet. Since carpet tiles come in individual squares, they aren’t as heavy or awkward to install as regular carpet. Plus, you don’t need specialized equipment (like knee kickers or carpet stretchers) when installing carpet tiles.

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.

The costs range from $3 to $10 per square foot, depending on the carpet type, labor, and subfloor preparation.
