"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"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

The complexity of installation depends on the type of flooring you choose and the level of expertise required to install it. While some materials, like vinyl or laminate, offer relatively straightforward installation processes suitable for DIY enthusiasts, others, such as natural stone or hardwood, often require professional assistance from a flooring company to ensure proper fitting and longevity.

Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it’s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.

Smaller carpet installations may take less than a day, while full-home installations can take several days. However, your carpet installation timeline will ultimately depend on a few factors, including the number of rooms you’re renovating, the project’s total square footage, and the carpet type. Installation will take longer if your carpet company needs to repair your subfloor or remove old tile flooring.

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.

In order to avoid long-lasting waves, indents, or sticking, it’s a good idea to wait at least 24 hours after fresh carpet is laid to put weighty furniture on top of it. However, you can begin walking on your new carpet right after it’s installed, and doing so can actually help it adhere to the floor better.
