"From the start the company was very punctual. I was extremely impressed with Steve the painter. The precision in his brush strokes was amazing. I've watched a lot of professional painters in my life and he was by far the best I've seen. He was also very knowledgeable. The other painter David was extremely polite. He was also very skilled. They did an absolutely amazing job. The countertop installation was also very interesting to watch and the men who cut and installed our quartzite countertops were very quick and professional and did an amazing job. Dan, our tile guy, was also very quick and professional. He was very polite and made sure to check with me about decisions on how the tile was placed. I was very appreciative of that. Overall, I was very pleased with every crew that came to our house to work. To have an honest and fair review, I will also list the negatives. They are miniscule but still notable. Communication with management was lacking. I often had to ask when someone was coming. I had my kitchen completely demoed and no more work scheduled for 5 days. Seems like demo could've waited. I had to negotiate the price more than once which seemed inappropriate. Once should've been plenty. Twice I had men show up to work completely unannounced. When the work was completed, there was an absolute cut off of communication. No gratitude for my business of any sort. They sent a worker to ask for the final payment. Overall, the work is extremely quality work, so the company still gets 5/5 stars and I would recommend them. The positives far outweigh the negatives."

McGeorge Brothers Chem-Dry provides quality carpet cleaning, tile cleaning, and upholstery cleaning for homes and businesses in Kern County. When it comes to carpet cleaning, Chem-Dry is the world's leader, by cleaning an estimated 1 billion square feet of carpet each year! Chem-Dry provides a welcome alternative to ordinary steam cleaning, which soaks the carpet and leaves dirty water below the surface, which 'wicks' back up as the carpet dries over the next couple days. Carpets cleaned the Chem-Dry way are left sparkling clean and dry in 1 to 2 hours. Our secret is that we use the power of effervescent, carbonating cleaning solutions that are so effective that we only need to use a small amount of moisture to achieve miraculously clean carpets. Chem-Dry uses The Natural, a proprietary carpet cleaning solution that is non-toxic and safe for kids and pets. Professional cleanings from Chem-Dry will protect your carpet and help it last longer. We offer many other services: area rug cleaning, carpet stain removal, pet urine removal, odor removal, dust mite anti-allergen treatment, grout and stone cleaning, and granite countertop renewal. We can even do carpet repair and house cleaning. (Independently owned and operated. All work done on the premises. Licensed, Bonded, and Insured.)

Carpet Outlet Plus

"I purchased carpeting and linoleum from Carpet Outlet in Bakersfield on July 11, 2019. Mistake #1: On the day my carpet was to be installed, Carpet Outlet arrived at my house without enough carpet. They were 8 feet short. Mistake #2: On the day my linoleum was to be installed, July 22, Carpet Outlet arrived without enough linoleum. Three men were scheduled to be at my house, and one of them was to repair damage to my floors before the linoleum was installed. That man did not show up, and, after a couple of hours, the other two handled the problem by simply leaving. They left my toilet in my bathtub, my refrigerator and stove on my (new) front porch, which they scuffed, and my washer and dryer on the back porch. They also left a twelve inch scratch on my office door. Carpet Outlet attempted to bill my credit card in full for a job half done, and acknowledges no wrongdoing on their part. Owner Mark's way of dealing with wronged customers is to subject them to verbal abuse, both on the phone and in emails. When I asked him to send me an invoice, he refused. Here is an example of Mark's email correspondence: "If that's not who I'm talking to the." Stay away from these people. They are friendly until they make a mistake. Then you become a "problem customer", and they abuse you mercilessly. They are a madhouse."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Bakersfield, CA

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.
