"After the carpets dried, I noticed the Tech did not overlap his cleaning head enough on each pass. What was left on our tan carpets are darker colored stripes where the edge of the cleaning head was pulled along. <br /> <br /> After posting this review, I called Jimmy Stuarts to see if they would help me resolve the streaks on the carpets. <br /> <br /> I was greeted with a friendly receptionist who seemed to already be aware of my issues and forwarded me immediately to a manager. The manager explained that the streaking sometimes happens and they would be happy to come out and address the two rooms that had the issues. <br /> <br /> He further indicated that Angie's List reviews were important to them and he had wished I had called before posting. <br /> <br /> Aside from the initial streaking problem, I give Jimmy Stuart's full credit for how they handled the follow-up. The Tech arrived on time, was friendly and did a fine job removing the streaking in the carpet with his cleaning equipment. <br /> <br /> Overall, I was happy with how the company responded to my request for a follow-up. These service issues can happen to any company, it is how they respond to them that shows the character of the business. I would recommend Jimmy Stuarts based on their response. <br /> <br /> The initial review has been adjusted to reflect the how well the company handled the follow-up."

"This is an excellent multi-generational family-run business that takes pride in their work. Tom ran us through lots of options and gave his expert opinions without making us feel rushed or foolish with our questions. He worked to optimize the material so we wouldn't need to buy more than necessary. He also slotted us into his busy schedule to get the job done quickly. The installers were extremely courteous, professional, friendly, and skilled. The carpet in our bonus room and stairs looks and feels spectacular. They did an excellent job with cleanup as well. Highly recommend!"

"Very good experience. The old counter tops had been removed by our contractor and the counters were elevated and leveled by him. We went to the Spectrum showroom and had many choices available to us. We were able to take home several samples, which was important because one that was originally our favorite did not look pleasing at all once it was in the kitchen. We returned to the showroom with our choice and then chose our edging and sink options. The options were very easy to visualize on their demonstration samples and posters. We set up a date for the installer to come and measure. He arrived on time with some high tech equipment and did a very professional job. He was very pleasant. Once we got the official quote for cost of materials and installation we made a down payment and scheduled a date for installation. The installers were also very professional and did a very fine job. Maria is the woman who handled all the arrangements and ordering. She was very careful at each point to review our choices so that we would be getting exactly what we expected. She was gracious and very professional. We are very pleased, and would not hesitate to use Spectrum again for another project. (I am posting 3 pictures, but there were also two other counter areas that were installed that do not show in the pictures. The area with the sink was the main area.)"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Carolina, RI

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.
