"Carpet on Wheels has been amazing to work with! They offer a wide variety of quality products, (not just carpet, like their name suggests). Cheri was extremely helpful when we were picking out our tile and wood flooring; she was knowledgeable and offered insight when I was questioning design aspects of our space with the flooring, without being pushy. Everything was painless, from picking our flooring, having our space measured, all the way through installation. Everybody we encountered was friendly and professional, (they remember my name every time we walk into their storefront!). We've still got a few more projects that we'll definitely be back for!"

"Magic Clean arrived on time after I had rescheduled numerous times.  He was very polite and understanding about all the reschedules which I appreciated.  He did a thorough job with "green" products which I also am in support of.  He has good equipment for the job he is doing.  Long hoses which make it possible to leave tanks etc outside on the porch. <br /> The process he uses doesn't require a lot of water which is good for a variety of reasons.  I would definitely use the service again. <br />"

"Dennis is very knowledgeable and informative in his craft, which is a refreshing contrast to the apathetic costumer direction provided in other carpeting stores. When it came time to pick flooring, Dennis was able to take me to his warehouse so that I can pick out a very satisfactory and popular flooring which he kept in stock. What is equally if not more impressive is that the turnaround for delivery and installation was executed within days as opposed to the weeks offered by Abbey's competitors. Needless to say I was very impress by their speed and craftsmanship as well as the care provided in their service."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Clayton, MI

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.
