"Initial response was quick, estimate was professional, the higher end of the estimates I got, but they were not a bunch of kids just starting out, and were quite professional. Their estimate came with a copy of their insurance and contractor license, which was very impressive. It took awhile to get the work started, and I felt they could have stayed in touch a bit better. But once the work started it went quickly, professional, everyone knew what they were doing. We recently had other work done here, and got screwed by the contractors we hired. After 3 flakes, we were a bit nervous getting this work done. On The Geaux handled things much better and provided a much higher quality of work than the others we used. We also own rental townhouses and will be using On The Geaux for maintenance and repairs there. Once the work was done, clean up, which was in the estimate, took 2 1/2 weeks to get done. Form boards with rusty nails we had to move ourselves from the backyard to a safer place, due to our having dogs (wife is a trainer) and very young grandchildren. After a couple of calls they finally got someone here to take care of it, and it was done properly and professionally. No one is perfect, and this type of work is full of bad apples and criminals, but On The Geaux was by far the best experience we've had so far. They weren't perfect, cut no one is, and they actually tried very hard to accommodate us professionally. That meant a lot to us. I would hire them again, but I would stay on top of things a bit more aggressively on my end. They are the best we've used, and as said before, after using several very shady contractors who've left us with huge regrets. On The Geaux should be at the top of anyone's list of go-to contractors."

The cost of carpet cleaning is about $190 for a three-bedroom home, so it’s a good idea to have your carpet cleaned at least once a year. But most carpeting only lasts 10 years.

Most cities accept old carpets as bulk trash, but you may need to schedule a special pickup and prepare the carpet properly. Remove any nails or glue residue, cut the carpet into manageable pieces, and roll and secure them. Alternatively, you can take your old carpet to a local recycling center for a small fee, where it can be processed and repurposed.

Yes, you can remove carpet yourself if you're ready for a labor-intensive task. DIY carpet removal requires heavy lifting and tools like utility knives, pliers, and pry bars.
