"Adan and Hugo, the technicians, arrived promptly at noon (my designated window was noon to 3 p.m.). Both of them have been here before but we walked through the house so that I could show them some areas that might need special attention. They started their work promptly and finished in an hour and a half. Adan and Hugo were very courteous and professional, as always. After they finished, Adan told me about some areas where there are more permanent stains, some discoloration on the stairs, and some wear on the downstairs carpet, all of which I appreciated. He recommended cleaning the rugs at least once a year so that traffic patterns and stains don't set in. Adan reminded me that the carpets can be a little slippery until they start to dry out and to let them dry at least 6-8 hours before setting furniture on them. It's easy to schedule an appointment with the company through Lois who is also very courteous and professional. Normandy has cleaned my carpets twice and also did an excellent job on an emergency clean when we spilled hot coffee on the very light wool rug in the master bedroom. They have also cleaned three silk upholstered living room chairs (which Adan also recalled doing) and did a great job. I would highly recommend them as an excellent, professional, and reasonably priced service."

"We have been very pleased with everything involved in having our rugs cleaned and repaired by Main Street Oriental Rugs.  Mojan <br /> Bagha was very knowledgeable about his craft, and was very pleasant to deal with.  He seems to care a great deal about the rugs he deals with, and took personal affront that a hand-crafted Persian runner had been crudely cut in half by a relative years ago.  We were advised that two other runners were machine-made and not worth the cleaning fee.  Our rugs were restored to colors we did not know that they had, and they look beautiful.  Ratty looking fringe was made to look much better even though we decided that we could not afford to have them appropriately repaired.  The pick-up and delivery were exactly as he had said, and each time he carefully re-positioned the room furniture.   The price was well worth it.  The office was easy to communicate with, and we highly recommend them. <br />"

"Their rep was extremely helpful in selecting a color and figuring out the best width of carpet to minimize seams that might trip one of our little kids. The only problem was that their rep had said the installers would glue the wooden strips to our concrete basement floor. The installers showed up and started hammering them into our concrete basement floor, which is not ideal. Apparently gluing the wooden strips requires doing the glue requires coming one day, and then coming another day to actually put down the carpet. Hopefully the nails in the concrete floor won't cause moisture problems... Otherwise they were great; the result looks great."

"They were great. On time with excellent customer service. I was debating get new carpet but wanted to try the deep clean first to save money if possible. So glad I did. I can forgo getting new carpet until next year because my carpet looks great!!"

"Now that I have used the service of three different highly recommended local companies, I can say that Elite is quite good.  My carpet is in good shape, no stains, and cleaned twice a year.  But there's dog hair, etc. to deal with, the rooms are small and hard to work in.  This company does a very capable job.  You do need to allow a day for the rug to dry. <br />"

"Great, couldn't have been happier! Timely, flexible, polite, responsive, at a very competitive price. We were prepared to pay up to $350 for Kilz treatment before installation of the new carpet, but they didn't use a lot, so they didn't charge us at all"

"Got a couple of estimates. Rivers was competitive, but I was most sold on him. He was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. I got different stories from different people, but he was right on with everything I read online. The carpet was ordered ins timely fashion and installed the day after it arrived. The guys worked all day. and it looked great at the end and everything was back in its place. Very satisfied. <br />"

"After I visited the store and spoke with an associate, we scheduled a date for measurements very quickly. My carpet was installed a week later and I was 100% satisfied! Would definitely work with CarpetOne again for carpet needs."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Bel Alton, MD

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.
