"You can't beat local family-owned businesses. Jason came out when he said he would and quoted a carpet stretching job for me. Often people won't waste their time on small jobs like this because it's a lot of work and not a lot of money for the effort invested. That or they just knock it out quickly and do a sub-par job to get to their next job. This was not Nei Brothers Carpets. He was on time, did the job perfectly and did it in the time frame/cost he stated. You cannot ask more from a business."

"Universal was fantastic - they were responsive, open to listening to ideas we had on carpet and were very accommodating. They installed when they said they would and the installers were professional, helpful and had no issues wearing masks while installing on a warm August day. I would use Universal again."

"I had used Wholesale Carpet Design a few years ago, after looking at every carpet store in a 15 mile radius. They had the best prices by far and excellent service. This time I didn't look around, but went directly to them. They found exactly what I was looking for. The price was still great, and installation was speedy with very courteous installers. I would recommend them to anyone. <br />"

"Mike was great- We have beautiful new carpet. Only wish we could have afforded hardwood... We had numerous flooring people out- Glad we chose Carpet Central. Very nice 2-day installation job. The pad was a quality, 8 lb padding and we appreciated that all was included- Furniture moving and carpet/pad removal. Only took 2 days. <br /> Very happy with their work and would use their services again. <br />"

"I purchased a new home and the three bedrooms needed new carpet.  The owner explained how important the padding under the carpet is and also brought several really nice samples.   I decided on the type of carpet, the owner arranged to have the carpet installed approximately three days later.  The carpet installers were scheduled to arrive between 8:30 - 10:30 they arrived at 11:00 but they did call to ask if being a half hour late would be ok,  i agreed, they arrived and were fast to work.  The carpet was completely installed in approximately four hours, they cleaned up the area, wasted no time, and completed the job.  The installers were professional as well.  I would recommend iCarpets in The Park to anyone, in fact I've already past the business name and contact on to a couple of my co-workers. <br />"

"Lance is wonderful. He reached out right away after I submitted my project on Angie’s List. We set up a good time for him to inspect the job. Lance stretched 7 Year old carpet so it looks new again! The installer we used before said nothing could be done and walked away. Thanks again Lance!"

"I needed some stair-runners installed. The owner, Mike, came out and measured my stairs. Mike was detailed and very knowledgable and even drew a sketch of my stairs for me. The price quoted seemed fair. Unfortunately, due to the runner material (hand knotted), and pattern i selected, Windy City Carpets was unable to install the rug the way I wanted (expanding the rugs on the pie shaped curved pieces of the stair). But they were honest and prompt, I would hire them if i need future services for more standard rugs."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Arlington Heights, IL

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.
