"This was a big project, basically needed to re-do flooring in most of our 2000 sq home. We had gotten a few estimates, but did not have a comfort level with anyone we had dealt with. We met Josh at Home and Garden show, and were immediately impressed with his professionalism and level of experience. He spent a lot of time with us in the showroom to assure that we got the most for our money. Prices were very competitive. The installation crew was equally wonderful. They actually started a day early and finished early as well. Good luck finding that these days. The workers took great care of our furniture and left the house spotless. Anyway, FloorGurus are highly recommended. They make a big project painless!"

"Carpet One sold us the tile and installed it as a backsplash in our new kitchen. The people at the stsore were very friendly and helpful but the installation could best be described as mediocre. Many of the tiles were not straight and/or aligned properly. My wife even cried when the installers left. We should have complained to Carpet One but we didn't (Nor did anyone at Carpet One contact us after the installation to see if we were happy with the work.) I liked the people at the store but I would never use nor recommend their services in the future. <br />"

"They were very good. I like the way they did my carpeting. I felt like I got a fair deal. They are very courteous. They do good work. I'd say it took most of the day. You are talking hours. They were excellent. I don't know of anything they could improve on. It took them all day. I don't think they got done until 5 or 6 at night. They did an excellent job. I love my carpeting. When I get ready to do my other rooms, I'll go back to them."

"Adraiano is excellent. Top notch service from the the time of the quote, installation to  the follow up call the day after. <br /> We had a small area in the kitchen and bath that need to be tiled. He came in and within 4 hours it was completed beyond our expectations. Very professional. I would highly recommend Adriaano and his team <br />"

"We had just purchased the home and the previous owner didn't have the carpets cleaned before they moved. Our realtor called and set up the cleaning on very short notice. They responded quickly and did a great job. <br />"

"I worked with Brian who was not only professional and nice but had the patience of a Zen master (took me ages to decide on a color). He answered any questions I had and provided me with a crew who knew their jobs well. I had a couple of concerns which Brian listened to and had rectified immediately. Juan lead the hardwood crew I had and he was prompt (arrived at 8am!), professional and worked so hard to make everything perfect! I can not thank Brian and the guys at Michael's flooring enough. I inundated him with questions and he was always helpful. I purchased a Palmetto Road Lake Ridge floor which is so beautiful and I just love it!  I highly recommend Michael's Wholesale Flooring! <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Central, SC

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.
