Get matched with top carpet installers in Missouri Valley, IA

"<p>The installation crew arrived on time and did an outstanding job. They carefully moved our heaviest furniture, took up the old carpet and pad, installed the new carpet, moved the heavy furniture back, and cleaned and vacuumed. They did it all in 4.5 hours one morning with no breaks. They were a very friendly and efficient crew. And the new SmartStrand carpeting is absolutely beautiful to look at and to walk on.</p> <p>After the crew left we got out our 9 year old Oreck to verify its ability to vacuum and discovered that we had a serious problem – our Oreck would hardly move across the carpet. Since the problem seemed to be related to the silk fibers in this new type of carpet, and since our Oreck was 9 years old, we decided to go shopping for a new vacuum cleaner designed to operate on SmartStrand carpeting. We took a large piece of the carpeting to Sears and the vacuum cleaner salesperson tried several different brands and models including Hoover, Dyson, Samsung, Sharp, and Kenmore, as well as upright and canister models. All of them did the same thing – they were impossible to very difficult to push across the carpet. The salesperson concluded that none of his cleaners were compatible with this carpet, and that the carpet would actually be damaged by some of them.</p> <p>So we went back to Kellys Carpet and talked to Rick and asked to see what kind of vacuum cleaners they used to clean their carpets. It turns out that they use an Oreck as he had originally told us, but it was an Oreck Magnesium. He showed it to us and demonstrated it on SmartStrand carpet. It worked just fine. It is a much newer Oreck model than our old one, and was specifically designed for these newer carpet fibers.</p> <p>We then went to the local Oreck store and found the same Oreck Magnesium model that Rick demonstrated for us. We brought our carpet sample into the store, and the store salesman demonstrated the Oreck’s ability to vacuum our sample. He told us the Magnesium was specifically designed to handle the silk fibers in these newer carpets. So we bought the Magnesium, brought it home and fired it up, and it does the job very nicely and gently. It works best on low speed.</p> <p>The moral of this story is that you should not assume your current household vacuum cleaner will operate properly on whatever carpet you are considering buying unless the carpet you are buying is the same type of carpet that you will be replacing. If you are not sure, then since the carpet salesperson can’t be expected to know which vacuum cleaners work with which carpeting types, before you buy:</p> <ol> <li> <p>(1), Always ask the carpet salesperson what kind of vacuum cleaner the store uses on the carpet you are considering and have him/her demonstrate it, and/or</p> </li> <li> <p>(2) Always take a good sized sample of the target carpet home and test your vacuum cleaner on it, and/or</p> </li> <li> <p>(3) If you feel a need to replace your vacuum cleaner, always take a large sample of the carpet to the vacuum cleaner store and test it there. </p> </li> </ol> <p>Regarding Karastan SmartStrand, there may be other vacuum cleaners in the marketplace in addition to the Oreck Magnesium that handle this carpeting nicely, but you need to test them before you buy the carpeting. , </p> <br />"

"The company called me in the morning to let me know the workers were on their way to my house. The two workers arrived on time and after I showed them the rooms, they began work immediately. They carefully moved the furniture out of the rooms prior to installation, and even moved some additional furniture (that I requested) back into the completed rooms. I was very impressed with their work - it was fast and efficient. Their skill and professionalism were obvious. They took approximately 4.5 hours to complete the job. <br /> <br /> We went with Kelly's because their prices were lower than the large furniture store in town. We purchased Mohawk smartstrand carpet because of the excellent durability (long warranty) and soft feel. The price was about $3/sq foot for the carpet (including pad) and this price also included the furniture moving, tear-up and haul away of old carpet and pad, and installation. <br /> The only thing we would change is get a thicker pad. The standard 8 lb. pad comes with a water barrier (which is nice), but wasn't as thick as we thought it would be once we started walking around on the new carpet. <br /> <br /> Overall, the rooms look great and we're very happy with the product and service Kelly provided! <br /> <br /> We would definitely use them again."

"Our family room had a noticeable roll in the carpet. I couldn't believe how much excess carpet Chris removed. After noticing some stains I did see, he suggested a good carpet cleaner, too. We had a bleach spot on the hall carpet. It was truly amazing to see the technology Chris used to repair this 50-cent sized spot. I know where the spot was but I honestly can't see where the repairs were made. Chris is truly a flooring specialist and I would definitely use Innovative Flooring in the future."

"Perfectly: Steve met with us and took measurements for the areas we wanted covered with wood flooring and carpeting. We met his wife, Linda, at their store front in Bellevue and looked at samples that she had selected for us that met our desires for quality, style and price. Linda prepared the quote that was acceptable to us and ask for a 50% deposit. Steve's Floor Covering has been in business in Bellevue for 25 years so we had no qualms with the deposit. We provided a desired timeframe for installation and Steve accepted. Work commenced on time, and proceeded as scheduled. I provided a number of suggestions during the process and Steve met all our desires. We are completely satisfied with the finished product, would gladly use them again and highly recommend them to anyone needing their services."

"Shon was delightful to work with, very knowledgeable and kind. The installer was very efficient and the carpet is beautiful!"

"It went relatively well. I know the poor guy was working hard, it was a very hot, very humid day; and he worked on the basement for over 3 hours. The biggest fault was ours, I believe we had let that carpet go too long without a professional cleaning. Oh, and at one time we had 7 dogs. The basement is my husband's man cave and I seldom ventured it. I should have. The doggy smell was mostly eradicated, but obvious stains remain, which I understand isn't uncommon when the stain sets. The rust stains, are all almost gone, he did a good job on those. I think Bed Red did a good job, considering the mess they had - on an off white carpet, no less. The price was a little high. I was anticipating about $400 and it was about $450; but he was really working! Obviously, I would have liked it to remove more spots, but realistically, that just wasn't possible, and they did a great job."

"THESE GUYS ARE GREAT!  <br /> We met with Wes first to discuss our install.  We had already ordered carpet from Menards and it was in stock and ready to be laid.  He bid on the spot and we liked his figure as well as his demeanor.  We hired him on the spot.  He found time for us the following week.  <br /> On carpet day, he and Todd and Tommy came on time and ready for work. They are clean, well mannered and truly enjoy their craft!  They offer tear out and haul away as well as furniture move for a nominal fee.  They took great care with our belongings and returned them to the proper location when finished.  They take pride in their work right down to the care in vacuuming after the install!  They were able to finish our job in three days!  <br /> Tommy took extra time perfectly wrapping each of our stairs.  We love the transformation!  They call themselves a full service carpet business and THEY ARE. Well done.  We will only call them in the future for cleaning of our new carpet.  They clean furniture too...having them back next week to freshen a sofa.  I only take the time to do these reviews for those who earn it and they met every detail presented to us and truly surpassed expectations! <br />"

"Fantastic. i expected I would have to replace the carpet in 2 rooms and he was able to save it."

"When I moved into my house 4 years ago, we needed shades for my family room, front door and shades to be fixed in my basement. I stopped by Ehlys interiors on a whim. I couldn't be happier. They are fantastic. They are very responsive, punctual, and overall great people. Over the past four years I have had electric shades installed in my family room, blinds in my entry way, and the shades fixed in my basement. I also just ordered a blackout shade for one of my teenagers rooms. Due to the knowledgable and friendly service I receive each and every time, I wouldn't go anywhere else. It's a family owned business that treats you like family. <br />"

"They gave me a price according to square footage over the phone. The person I talked to on the phone, the owner of the company, and his associate are the ones who came out to clean my carpets. They arrived on time. Over the phone I asked if my kids and I could be home during the process and they acted like it would be fine but when they were cleaning and applying Scotchgard, they said I shouldn't walk on it. They did a great job of getting stains out of the carpet."
