"They were professional and helpful. Base price was good. Add on’s we requested drove up cost. One thing that could have gone better was a stain in the carpet that soaked down into the pad. The stain kept coming back and spread. Instead of steam cleaning, I solved it myself we an off the shelf Oxyclean solution."

"I prepared the four rooms that I wanted cleaned by removing all breakables, and moving potted plants and side chairs into another area. The 2 technicians arrived within the 3 hour window I was given for their arrival. They identified themselves, and were friendly and well mannered gentlemen. They reviewed the rooms that were to be cleaned, and explained the process. It took them less than an hour to clean, sanitize and scotch-guard all four rooms. In the meantime, they paid particular attention to high traffic areas and the few pet food stains that I pointed out to them. When they were through, the entire carpet looked brand new, and the house smelled fresh and clean! <br />"

"Extremely satisfied from start to finish. We first called for an estimate. Mike came to our home at the appointed time (he called first to make sure we were ready for this visit). We had several questions about installation and he answered them clearly. We then made several trips to the store to select the linoleum and found the staff very helpful. They spent a fair time with us. We never felt rushed to make a decision and did not feel we were steered to the higher priced products. The estimate was phoned in and e-mailed as promised. Haw River called the day before the installation date to confirm we were ready. The installer (Wayne Isley) came on schedule and performed a great job. He let us know what and why he was doing, and never was impatient with our many questions. We observed the installation from start to finish - Wayne and his helper (Cody) took their time and obviously knew what they were doing. We are very pleased with all aspects of Haw River's work and plan on having them do additional work in the near future."

"The quality of work that Miguel and Danny did was outstanding. I had bamboo flooring put in to replace carpet and Pergo. The difference in my home is incredible. Not only did they complete sooner than expected, they made sure to put furniture back where it was, clean up each day and as they left. Rob was great to work with. He made recommendations on how the flooring should be done as well of color of trim which turned out beautifully! I am extremely happy with the experience I had with Rob and his team! ! I would definitely recommend them!"

"It went pretty well.They did an excellent job. I went with a better fence than what they had in their store but they were able to get it. They price matched the best price I got. The contractor seemed like he knew what he was doing. It was a difficult installation because the land had a lot of slope to it so he had to be a little bit more skilled. It was about the best price I could get."

"<p>My wife and I have never had a more pleasant, professional sales and service experience than the one we had recently with Burlington Carpet One, here in east Burlington, NC on South Church Street. We chose them for our carpet project because of Angie's List recs and once again we were not disappointed with the results.  Meredith, the sales rep was knowledgeable, courteous, accommodating, and very helpful. She assisted us in finding just the right carpet and pad (dollars vs. quality decisions), carefully explained the advantages of each, enabling us to find exactly what we wanted. She explained their process and timeline from selection through installation, allowed us to take samples back to our home to check color matching. Their project guy showed up precisely on time for the measurement appointment.  Then a few weeks later, the 2 man crew that showed up for installation was on time, friendly, quick, courteous, efficient, and did a beautiful job. One of the rooms, the walk-in closet, had numerous angles and cubbies, all of which were perfectly fitted. They even asked us how we wanted the remnants cut up for area rugs and runners, which they then took back to their shop, cut to our specifications, and bound the edges. </p> <p>We seriously considered having this project handled by a big box home store, but we stopped by Carpet One because of  their proximity to our home and because of Angie's List. Once we talked to Meredith for a while, we put alternative plans aside. We would heartily recommend these folks to anyone considering any carpeting job. They are the best we've ever encountered. Every piece of the job is handled by their people, and the ones we were involved with were very, very good.</p> <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Burlington, NC

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.
