"Ed retrieved the carpet from Home Depot, saving me their delivery cost. He removed the old carpet and padding, then installed new. He swept the bare floor before installing the pad, and vacuumed the carpet when the job was completed. All told, it took him about 2 hours. However, he didn't have to install tacking strips (since the room had already been carpeted), so if your job needs those, it would take longer. Friendly, courteous, prompt."

"The install went very smoothly. I cleaned out one bedroom myself including pulling up the carpet and pad. This saved me a little money. The other bedroom and closet had a lot more heavy stuff. So, I let Pferrman do it for me. Using very round numbers, it was about $100 per room to have them move the furniture, remove the carpet and pad and dispose of it. The price for the berber was great. I'm sure there is higher quality berber, but not at this price. The workers were very professional and hard working. I didn't ask much of anything of them that was out of the ordinary. They did a great job working around an odd piece of baseboard. -- That's a long story -- But the relevant point to take is that they installed carpet around it and it now blends in with the room perfectly. <br />"

"Excellent! Home is 5 years old, built by Fischer. I was unable to get a response from Fischer homes on type of floor so we could match to existing hardwood. We replaced carpet in bedroom, closet and office. They found the exact flooring, gave an excellent price and did outstanding work. Neat and clean, very professional. And, floor is a perfect match and flows from living room and hallway into other rooms without any difference or change in color or style. You would think the flooring had been in home since new! Entire staff from sales to billing to installation was very efficient, courteous and professional. Would highly recommend them."

"Had an issue with my floor drain backing up in my finished basement.  They pulled carpet back, cut out sopping wet carpet pad, bagged it all up and took it too the street.  Along with that the owner, Mark Weiler, came out and ran some tests on the moisture in the walls.  He found that the walls needed to be dried out, they were very damp as well.  He then placed 4 dehumidifiers, 5 fans to get things drying out.  Once dry, they will proceed to replace carpet pad, re-stretch and re-seam carpet.  This work will be completed today."

"The price was $13,000 and that included the floor/ cali bamboo. I purchased the flooring there and they installed. The quality was kind of weird. The issues went away but they used an under padding/under material underneath the cali that was very noisy until you walked on it a couple of months. Now, it is perfect. They told us that it would take a while for the noise to go away. Our problems are behind us. I was told one thing and I didn't want quarter rounds and they had to use quarter rounds. There were few minor things like that. I painted all the baseboards and quarter rounds because when they came in, the material was dirty and didn't look very good. I personally painted that myself. However, Lowe's gave me credit for doing that work. They took care of me, I am not complaining."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Alexandria, KY

Carpet rolls come in standard widths of 12 and 15 feet. Less commonly, you might find a roll 13.5 feet wide. There are no standard roll lengths, but they’ll have enough to cover almost any home.

You’ll need equal amounts of carpet padding and carpet. Carpet padding costs $200 to $500 for the average room. However, the padding is trimmed a couple of inches away from the wall on all sides to make room for tack strips. Most residential installs have padding, and professionals include this in their bids.

Often, the best carpet for basements doesn’t include a pad. You’ll find this mainly in humid areas or places with a high-water table.

One linear foot of carpet or other material is simply one foot measured in a straight line. You typically aren’t going to measure carpet this way. It’s quoted in square feet or square yards.

There are nine square feet in one square yard of carpet.

The amount of carpet you need to cover two rooms varies depending on the room size and configuration. Measure the floor space. Multiply width times length. Do this for both rooms and add the numbers together.

You’ll need between 80 and 110 square feet for 13 stairs. For unique stairwells, you might need more.

Measure indoor/outdoor carpet like you would any other area, taking the width times the length. For patios, make sure to add a couple extra inches to wrap around the edges. Indoor-outdoor carpets cost an average of $3.50 per square foot.

You’ll need enough carpet to cover the entire area of damage to avoid seams. For example, if you have a 4-inch tear in the middle of a hallway, you’ll want enough carpet to stretch from door to door or the next available seam. Depending on the type of carpet you have, you might be able to get a professional to do an invisible seam repair.

One square foot of carpet is one foot long by one foot wide.
