Our company was designed with the customer in mind. To give the best prices to our customers we had to get out of old company business models. We dont keep staff on hand; we have sub-contractors on our team which enables us to pass the savings onto our customer. All subs are fully licensed and insured. When your guys are subs then you dont need a huge office staff and there is no need for vans or trucks because your subs already have them. Finally there is no need for a huge office space. All of these savings are past down to the customer. Thats why we guaranty that no licensed and insured company can beat our prices for the same quality of work. We accept cash, credit or debit cards, and we also do some in-house financing when applicable.

Additional customer service & order status hours - Mon-Fri 9:00 AM-5:30 PM

"Placed my order nearly a month ago and still have not gotten my order. Ordered 43 boxes of a laminate that is discontinued so they were one of very few options. Salesman told me they had my entire order available, even asked if I wanted more. Got an e-mail a week later saying my order would be delayed a week as they were shipping my order from NC and warehouse was pulling material from other locations to get the quantity I needed to fill my order. I contacted their order person and she advised they would ship order in Oct 12th and that I should get my order by Oct 19th. I placed my order on Sept 26th. I e-mailed the person on Oct 16th to ensure I would get my order the following week but got her out of office e-mail. I had to call back on Oct 20th because I had not gotten a response from my e-mal and still had not even gotten a shipping e-mail. The lady answered and told me she would call me back by end of day to give me a status. I called back at end of say because I got no call back and left a message that I needed them to overnight my order if possible because my contractor scheduled me for my floor installation the week they told me I would get my order. I had to call back next day because I still hadn't gotten a response to my voicemail. Lady answered and said they would be shipping item out that day, I get feeling had I not called back no one would have contacted me. I asked could they overnight the order and se said no because they could not expedite freight orders. She said there was basically nothing she could do and wasn't sure why I did not get another e-mail saying my order was delayed a second time and asked if she wanted me to ship it. That made me angry as I waited almost a month, what was I going to say "No" and waste a month of my time? Long story short, very bad customer service and communication from this company. I live in AZ so I understand I wasn't going to get my order in a couple of days but it will be over a month since I paid for my order that I will have my order assuming the lady wasn't lying and I get it next week. I would recommend doing business with some other online flooring company. Again, I would have requested a refund and looked elsewhere but I needed to match the flooring in my rental and this was only company that I found that sold the exact floor model I needed. If I could give negative stars I would."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Dover, DE

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.
