Replace/remove existing all existing carpeting in our home.
We went to the Capitol Carpet and Tile store at Congress and Hypoluxo to select carpeting for new home. We worked with Rich Luppowitz. He seemed pretty knowledgeable, and we eventually settled on a carpet we liked (we used the same carpeting throughout). We were told it would take about 10 days before they could install, and everything happened exactly on schedule. I also dealt with Kevin when paying the balance, and he was good too. We replaced all the existing carpeting, which was in pretty bad shape. Everything upstairs and one room downstairs are carpeted, as are the stairs. The job took all of Friday and a good part of Saturday to complete. Some of the old carpeting had already been ripped up (but not removed) by painters who were in there before we installed the carpeting. We hadn't moved in yet, so the house was empty and there nothing to move around. The installers had to run our heat to warm up the carpeting so that it would stretch properly during the installation -- they told me if it doesn't get stretched enough during installation, it wrinkles later when things warm up. The lead installer wasn't the friendliest guy in the world, but he and his partner did a great job. They worked really hard throughout. We've been living in our new home for about 6 weeks, and I haven't noticed any problems. None of the seams are visible, but you can feel them when walking on them (not a problem), I would definitely use Capitol Carpet and Tile again, and recommend them.
