We are licensed & bonded Specialty Contractor. CCB #161629

Tim - the company owner does all installations. We DO NOT outsource like many retail places do.

Carpet cleaners do not need a CCB to run a busn. Often they will do repairs & try to install. They are generally not schooled nor licensed to do this work. Installers need the CCB & bond & extra insurance.

We are ALSO Certified in both (IICRC & CFI) carpet cleaner & installers.

With installation, we power stretch all areas we can with some knee kicker work.

Most hired hands aren't paid an honest wage so they have to trim time & effort whenever they can. So when you the client pay 20 year old installation prices it forces workmanship to degrade & results in shoddy installs. One main way they
cut costs is in certification, licensing, bonding. They also tend to only use a knee kicker to install carpet & staple when they should use tack strip.

We are quality. We deliver quality work.

We would like to see ALL good installers get work & stay employed & make the other "Big Box" companies get out of an industry which they oversell & under pay their guys thus perpetuating the cycle of unhappy clients.

Importance of Restretching and Power Stretching -

All makers of carpet and the Carpet and Rug Institute ( CRI ) recommend that new carpets at time of installation are to be powered stretched. (see Industry Standards for Installation at CRI ) Most installers are underpaid. They are paid by the yard. So rather than use the recommended power stretching tool, which takes more time and effort, they just kick-it-in. Usually, if not installed with a power stretch, new carpet will begin to ripple and wave in about 16 months. In addition, most flooring companies only guarantee installations for 1 year. But, improper carpet installation will make your warranty null and void. This is a huge and ongoing problem in the flooring industry.

Over time your carpeting may have developed waves, ripples, lumps and bumps. You don't always need new wall to wall carpets, you can save money by having your carpets restretched. Restretching takes up the slack in you carpets and restores them to their original tension. This removes the waves and ripples. Lumps and bumps can be restored by installing new padding under the carpet in the affected area. We can reseam carpeting that has come apart as well as repair tears, burn marks, dog scratch holes & other patch jobs. Also repair bars at the carpet edge near hard surface flooring & many other repairs.
