"Yancy's is very price competitive. Their tile selection is not that big, but we found what we liked, and everything went very smoothlly and in a timely fashion.  Their materail prices are comparable to Master Tile, but their install prices were signifanctly less than Master TIle.  I have used Yancy's for carpet in the past.  This was the first time I had used them for tile.  I would use them again. <br />"

"Service was excellent. My visits to the store, the ordering and the installation all went smoothly. Everyone was pleasant to work with. Installers arrived on time - crucial to me because I was taking a morning off from work. It was the best carpet installation I've ever had done. I will definitely use them again for a new kitchen tile floor."

"I called Expert Flooring Services, Inc after several attempts to find a reputable Carpet person/company. I called and Carl returned my call within a short time period. I explained what I was looking for and he set up an appointment to meet me that same day! He was prompt and even arrived at the house before I did! We discussed my basic carpeting needs, he measured the rooms and provided an abundance of carpet samples for me to pick from. Carl was very informative and offered suggestions when I was unsure. I felt like we were old friends! I picked the carpet and padding i wanted and he provided me an itemized breakdown of all the costs associated with the job! There were no hidden costs from the estimate I was provided. Dan and Carl did the installation and were very professional and did a terrific job! i could not be happier and will definitely recommend Expert Flooring Services, Inc to anybody looking for floor work and will use them for any of my future carpet/flooring needs! Thanks, Guys, for making carpet shopping/installation such an easy task! <br />"

"The installers arrived on time the day scheduled. They immediately went to work removing the old carpet. They screwed additional nails into the floor to eliminate the squeaking noise the floor was making. While the noise is not entirely gone the floors are much, much more quiet. The new pad and carpet was installed within a couple of hours. They cleaned up all the mess and vacuumed the floors. Everything was done quick and professionally and I am very pleased with the work. <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Michigan City, IN

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.
