"I went to Giant Don’s in March 2022. When I was connected with a salesperson, I was very specific that I wanted LVP. The salesperson took me to the LVP area. I found several pieces that I liked and took the samples home. I selected the one that I like best. I went back to the store and showed the salesperson what I selected. At mo time did then salesperson state that the flooring was not LVP. The salesperson did indicate that that particular vinyl required different installation. This was my first time selecting flooring. I ordered the flooring on March 26, 2022. One month later I was informed that they did not have enough of this flooring in stock and it would have to be manufactured and it would be 6-8 weeks for delivery. I finally received the flooring in late May. When my installer saw the flooring he informed me that the flooring was not LVP and the method for install would be totally different than LVP. He stated that it was flooring for more industrial use, like a hospital. He also stated it would be a longer install process than LVP, which would increase the price significantly. I contacted Giant Don’s. They came and picked it up. When I purchased the flooring, my daughter was with me (thankfully). There was a problem with my new payment card (Apple Card). My daughter had me put it on her card (REI bennies!!!). I then got home and transferred the funds to my daughter’s account. Now I am trying to get a refund. Because the charges were put on my daughter’s account she contacted Giant Don’s and she wanted them to just give the refund to me since I paid my daughter in full. The salesperson took the credit receipt showing 1 refund for Alterna in the amount of $10,780.45, please issue check. When the salesperson took the credit receipt for approval she was told that could not happen. I spoke with some higher up person and he said they could not give the funds to me and the he said, I could not be given a full refund, and it could not be given to me, even though they have all of the flooring and will be selling it at some point. I told him that I could give him proof that I paid my daughter. He stated it made no difference. Giant Don’s stated that they had to send the check to my daughter. Giant Don’s management said they were going to call me last Wednesday, June 22, to date, no call. Today I was looking at Giant Don’s web site and something caught my eye. They give a 5% senior discount! Not to me and I am 74 years old. Giant Don’s did not do the installation."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Big Lake, AK

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.
