"We just bought the house, and the 2-year old white carpet was filthy. it had been abused by renters who were previously in the house. We thought there was no hope. Peaches n Clean did it for $200. They pre-treated and steamed it. The carpet looks great now. There were some red stains that just would not come out. But we were very happy with the results. Josh was very professional and courteous. He did the work in a very timely manner. <br />"

"Laura came and did the estimate within 48 hours of initial contact. Flooring was paid for and ordered the day of the estimate. Flooring was delivered within 48 hours of order and flooring was installed 48 hours later. The installers moved the furniture in the bedroom and moved the appliances in the kitchen. When they were moving the oven out Wes noticed that there was a problem with the wiring and he went above and beyond to fix that wiring so that my mom, who is a recent widow, was safe and sound. He was concerned that there may be a fire and he would not leave until he had fixed the problem for her. All this at no extra charge!"

Measure indoor/outdoor carpet like you would any other area, taking the width times the length. For patios, make sure to add a couple extra inches to wrap around the edges. Indoor-outdoor carpets cost an average of $3.50 per square foot.

You’ll need enough carpet to cover the entire area of damage to avoid seams. For example, if you have a 4-inch tear in the middle of a hallway, you’ll want enough carpet to stretch from door to door or the next available seam.
