"They were great. I recently opened my new suite and needed flooring that wouldn’t ruin the base boards and the carpet. They did just that. They finished in a day and some hours. Also I needed them pretty last minute and he came asap and started working on the floors. It looks amazing. Highly recommend."

"I spent $13000 on the job. They also installed everything that I had purchased from them. I used them by accident as they are very near my home. I saw them once when I was passing by their store. I decided to stop by. The gentleman, Jim, was rather informative and really professional. They were very reputable. It was a smaller store, but they had everything that I needed. He gave me a lot of information and I discussed it with my husband. Later, my husband and I went back and we spent a lot of time with them. I still continue to go to them for getting some of my questions answered. This is all new to me; I have never had a new home before. I have a rapport with them. They gave me some extra vinyl, free of cost, to keep on hand as they didn?t have anything left from what they had put on the floor. They spent a lot of time educating me what kind of floors I needed. I felt that they had a large variety of carpeting. They had any style for any area of the house. They had a large selection. It wasn?t overwhelming, though; it was enough. They were a little expensive, but their quality was high as well. I will use them again and I would refer people to them. They are very knowledgeable."

Carpet Stretching questions, answered by experts

The best solvent for removing carpet glue depends on its chemical composition. Most carpet glue reacts well to a solvent made from orange oil. Use mineral spirits to remove tar-based glue, which has a darker, brownish tint. Methylene chloride paint stripper and lacquer thinner should also work, but beware of the nasty and dangerous fumes.

It is not recommended to install or stretch a carpet without a power stretcher. Skipping essential tools like a power stretcher and a knee kicker will likely result in an improper installation, leaving you with wrinkles, creases, and an unappealing final look. While a knee kicker can provide some limited stretching for thinner carpets, it is not a proper substitute. Attempting to stretch a carpet by hand or with homemade tools can also shorten its lifespan. For the best results, you should buy or rent a stretcher. If you do not want to use a stretcher, it is better to hire a professional for the installation.

Maintenance practices include regular vacuuming, prompt spill cleaning, and periodic professional deep-cleaning to remove embedded dirt particles and rejuvenate fibers.

You can save money on labor costs by removing your old carpet before the professionals come in to install the new carpet. Just make sure to clear it with your contractor ahead of time. You might also be able to cut costs by buying carpet at certain times of year when it’s less expensive. These periods include late December to mid-January and late spring to early summer.

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.
