Carpet Installers Go The Extra Mile
This is what business is all about – satisfied customers! I received this today, in the snail mail. The written word, with a stamp if you can believe it. The customer took the time to hand address the envelope and here is what they had to say:
To: Tim at Carpets 4 U
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how happy we were with the carpet and especially the installation. Mike and Ken were great! Mike was especially helpful and both installers really cared about moving the furniture carefully and then moving it back to the correct spots. Mike even went the extra mile to put the bed skirt back under the bed and helped lift the mattress up so I can fix it even more. Mike was also very aware when moving back our computer cabinet and made sure the wires were not pulling from the wall. Mike really treated the furniture like it was his own.
It was so nice to have good work done in the house especially since it can be a bit overwhelming when a house full of furniture has to be moved around. We also loved the extra touch that was put on the stairs, “Hollywood Stairs – Carpet”, it really made them look special.
Thanks again for a job well done and we will spread the word.

Carpet Buying Guide
Let’s start with the facts in your household, how many kids do you have? How old are your kids? Are you staying in this house for awhile? How many pets? Dogs, Cats or a Pot Belly Pig, these are all some of the questions you have to consider when it comes to determining which carpet will best fit your needs.
Today’s carpets are available in a wide range of fiber types, textures, patterns, weights, densities and backings.
- nylon carpet
- polyester carpet
- olefin
- wool
- acrylic
- cotton
- rayon
Nylon: Nylon is the most popular and represents two-thirds of the pile fibers used in the United States. Nylon fibers are wear-resistant, resilient and provide brilliant color. Nylon fibers withstand the weight and movement of furniture and are generally good for all traffic areas. Nylon is also a great choice for the home because it resists soils and stains.
Olefin (polypropylene): Olefin fibers are strong, resist wear and permanent stains and are easily cleaned. These fibers are colorfast. Olefin resists static electricity and is often used in both indoor and outdoor installations because of its resistance to moisture and mildew. Olefin is used in synthetic turf for sports surfaces and in the home for patios and game rooms. Many Berbers are made of olefin.
Polyester: Polyester is noted for luxurious, soft “hand” when used in thick, cut-pile textures. It has excellent color clarity and retention, cleans easily and is inherently stain resistant.
Wool: Wool is noted for its luxury and performance. It is soft, has high bulk and is available in many colors and patterns. Generally, wool is somewhat more expensive than synthetic fibers.
Carpet Padding – Most residential carpet is installed over a separate cushion that makes the carpet softer and more resilient underfoot, reduces noise, provides a little thermal insulation and prolongs carpet life. Cushion may be made from any of several materials, including various types of natural and synthetic fibers and urethane.
A firm and resilient carpet cushion is necessary to form a good foundation for your carpet, increasing its comfort and extending its life by acting as a shock absorber when someone walks on the carpet. The cushion, or pad, helps buffer sound and provides increased insulation, making a room quieter and warmer.
Carpet Seam Sealers – this is a must, if one of my installers doesn’t use a seem sealer, well, they may not have a job. All Carpet Seams – HAVE to be seam sealed, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Carpet Seam Sealing & Repair
Carpet provides actual thermal resistance, or R-value. In colder climates or seasons such as we have in Chicago and Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin, it retains warm air longer, an energy conservation benefit. Carpet also provides a comfortable place to sit, play or work and give any room an a warmer feeling.
