"I had the carpeting replaced in one of the bedrooms. Expo sent me sample photos of carpets by email so I could choose a carpet over the phone. Dina, the salesperson, was very helpful. The installer was terrific. He got there right on time and took out the old carpeting and hauled it away and then installed the new carpet in two hours.It looks beautiful. I'm really pleased with the service I got. I have used Expo several times before and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone."

"Ken stretched a 20-year-old carpet that had about a dozen bulges in many places. He is clearly highly experienced with this work and did an excellent detailed job, even fixes areas we didn't realize were bad. His work was very thorough and we are delighted with the results. We will definitely use Ken again if we need more repair or to replace carpeting."

"Mike is just fabulous! He was very kind, prompt, and a great communicator. Our project had some unforeseen issues come up, and he communicated them as soon as they came up and was still able to complete the job despite the hurdles. Heâ s an expert when it comes to carpeting, and made sure to explain things to my husband and I as first time homeowners. I highly recommend him!"

"Very well! The guys that came to do the work were friendly, professional, explained everything they were doing and informed me of other services that I didn't realize they did. They also did a complimentary cleaning of the doorway area rugs which was awesome. The owner Keith...AMAZING RESPONSE TIME. He communicates through text or email which is so convenient and literally never had to wait more than a few minutes at the most to hear back. He was also very flexible and accommodating to MY schedule! Thanks guys!!! They are scheduled to come back for some grout repair work!"

"Marian , the contractor, showed up 18 minutes after the first call!! He then looked around my cafe, came into the basement to see the underside of the floor and said it would be simple. All I needed was about 450 sq. ft. of flooring installed and I was providing the flooring itself from a reclaimed lumber company in Missouri. He said he'd email me with a quote by the next day. He had the quote to me before I got home that day!! This guy is really responsive!! The kind of responsive we all want, but know we usually can't have because people are busy and things come up. At no point did he or his crew deviate in any way from what they said they'd do and how quick they said they'd get it done!! The first day they got started with the subfloor around 10:00 a.m. They started a bit later because, due to the previous holiday of July 4th, my flooring hadn't actually arrived yet, but was supposed to be there that day. Anyway I was doing my own work in the basement while his guys ( two of em) worked upstairs. I was sort of endlessly checking up and down the street for the UPS freight truck kind of nervous about it actually showing up on time. It did and I didn't even know it!! I heard louder than usual noises coming from upstairs and went up to check on his workers to find them off-loading all of the flooring from the UPS truck parked outside. 1400lbs of flooring and they just started loading it into the shop without getting me to help them. Next day they show up at 7:30 and work straight through till about 3:30 or 4:00 p.m. getting about 90% of the floor laid. Wednesday they showed up again around 7:30 in the morning and git the install done, cleaned out the place, began sanding, cleaned again, laid three coats of sealer, buffed that, then a final coat of sealer and were done by 3:00. Prompt, clean, no dust, and best of all they used a water based sealer which meant no smell, no petrol based product and four total coats in one day. You just can't do that with oil based finish!!! These guys are amazing and my floors are phenomenal!! Can't recommend them highly enough!!!

FAQs for carpet repair, refasten, or stretch projects in Lake Forest, IL

Removing a rug costs around $0.40 to $0.50 per square foot. This includes the fee for a contractor to roll up the rug and haul it away in a vehicle for disposal or recycling. If they need to move furniture, they might charge an additional $0.25 to $0.30 per square foot of furniture.

If your carpet has minor damage—like a single area that requires stretching, patching, or cleaning—it might be less expensive to pay for carpet repair than remove and replace it. Repairing carpet costs around $210 per project.

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. If your carpet is nearing the end of its life span, it might be more cost-effective to remove and replace your carpet than to clean and repair it. The average cost to install a new carpet is about $1,800.

Search our directory of carpet removal companies and services to find an affordable, screened contractor near you. All HomeAdvisor listings are vetted, reviewed, and rated by homeowners, so you can be sure to find a local pro qualified for your project. Get at least three quotes to compare prices and the timeline for your project.

Commercial carpet removal usually costs on the lower end of the carpet removal price range, around $1.10 per square foot or even less. Carpet installation contractors often offer discounted rates for larger projects, like commercial carpet removal and installation. Similarly, you might be able to negotiate a lower residential carpet removal cost if the carpet is pulled up throughout your entire home.

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. The process is generally straightforward but time-consuming for stapled-down carpet. If your carpet is glued down or you're worried about damaging the subfloor, hiring a professional is best to ensure the job is done safely and efficiently.
