"I am so pleased. Everyone I spoke to was professional and helpful. The office staff was courteous and easy to talk to. The showroom salesman was knowledgeable and the selection of ceramic tile was impressive. The tile installer did an absolutely fantastic job. I couldn't be happier. I feel like I have a new bathroom. <br />"

"I liked the fact that they left the house in the same state it was in when they arrived which was clean. They cleaned up after themselves. It is impossible to see the seams which is always important for carpet instal. They did the job in one day. The price and service was better than most."

"We got great pricing and great quality carpet. <br /> They actually had an all wool carpet, not easy to find around here. Our home was a new construction. They came quickly when we were ready and they worked very efficiently. No problems at all. <br />  In fact we had a bit of an accident with water leaking from a pipe right into the master closet on to our all wool carpet. Long story. Anyhow, once I got the carpet all dried out they squeezed us in to get the closet carpet back down so we could still have the closet installed on schedule. Really great to work with, very nice, very professional. HIGHLY recommend. <br />"

"The staff at Garvey's in Bloomsburg was terrific.  Our salesperson, Brady, was very informative and helpful when we were choosing our carpet.  He asked a lot of questions and really took the time to get to know us and learn about our flooring needs.  Al came to measure for carpet just a few days after we first walked into the showroom and within hours after the measurement Brady contacted us with a quote.   <br /> The installers arrived right on time and were very professional, friendly, and courteous.  They worked quickly and efficiently and explained what we can expect from our new carpet.  They even gave us more flooring ideas for the other rooms in our home!  Talk about service! <br /> On top of the outstanding service, our carpet looks amazing and comes with both the Stainmaster guarantee and Garvey's lifetime installation guarantee.  We looked at some big-box store to get carpet, but the warranty couldn't touch the installation warranty from Garvey's. <br /> For any other household projects we will most definitely be visiting Garvey's Flooring America first!!! <br />"

"Garvey's did a great job with both the sales and installation aspects of the job. Purchasing the carpet went well, do not be afraid to be assertive and tell the salesperson exactly what you want. They often have offers available to get you better pricing or upgrades. We were able to work with the salesperson and ended up with a good deal that gave us upgraded padding for free and a discount on the carpet because we were doing all the rooms with the same flooring. <br /> The installation was fantastic, the guys who put the carpet in worked extremely fast and did a great job. They were actually an independent contractor who does work for Garvey's. They left the area clean and explained any problems they ran into and how they solved the issue. <br />"

"Went to corters to originally price carpeting. After not seeing anything we really liked in carpeting ( which had nothing to do with the variety of carpet Flooring America had). They have a very large selection. We decided that Hardwood might be a better choice. It was more money but in the long run it would be the right choice. Gary showed us what he had on hand and the price was a little more than we had budgeted. Gary told us to just wait a day or 2 cause he had another flooring source that was bringing him some samples and that this particular brand was on sale. Within 4 days we had picked what we wanted and planned to have it installed. Somerset Flooring (Sadle). <br /> Gary worked with us on price and personally came a number of times to our house to make sure the measurements were correct and that we were kept informed on the whole process. The installers showed up the day they said they would and installed the floor in three days. The installers were very professional and knew what they were doing. It was a very positive  experience. I would highly recommend them if you need carpet, flooring."

"Free estimate and as we were unsure if we wanted an area tiled or not, they allowed us to keep both the carpet samples and a ring of tile/linoleum samples.  We ended up doing the tile ourselves, as the price for that was fairly high, and it was nice to have the carpet sample (a large sample, not a tiny one) to take to the store when picking tile and grout.  The price and quality of the carpet and pad was great.  They didn't push us into the most expensive one, made suggestions based on our lifestyle, family makeup, and location where it was to be laid.  When the time came for installation, they were quick and professional.  Highly recommend this company! <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Altoona, PA

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.
