1. Not your average Joe handyman
Based in Castro Valley, CA, Not your average Joe handyman works as a carpet installation company. It has been in business for 18 years. Carpet installation covers removing old flooring, preparing the subfloor, installing tack strip and pad, and power-stretching new carpet so it lies flat and tight. Seams are placed away from main traffic paths where possible, and transitions are finished neatly wherever carpet meets tile, vinyl, or hardwood. Common requests for carpet installation include bedroom carpet replacement, basement carpet installation, stair carpet installation, wall-to-wall carpet installation and carpet stretching. Lingering odors from pets or from past water damage usually call for new carpet and pad, since cleaning rarely reaches deep enough. Mention the carpet style and pad being considered and whether removal and haul-away of the old flooring are needed as part of the job. Removal of old flooring, furniture moving, subfloor repair, and the number of seams or pattern matching all affect the final total. Customers in Castro Valley and nearby areas such as Oakland, San Leandro and San Lorenzo can request a quote. Posted hours are Monday to Thursday, 5:00 pm to 11:59 pm. Accepted payment methods include Apple Pay, Cash, Google Pay, PayPal, Venmo and Zelle. To get started, send Not your average Joe handyman a request on Fixerlane with the details of your project.
