"Hands down Kimi's Carpet is second to None!! Finding this hidden "GEM" "Kimi's Carpets" on Angies List was the BEST decision ever!! Not only did Kimi Execute like a Champ with their Quality Installation and Superior Customer Service. She was able to get all the flooring installed in the time we needed it done, with time to spare before our family arrived! This store has exceeded our expectations in so many ways, from start to finish this was "the best" flooring install experience we've ever had! We will back for all our future flooring needs! Thank you so much Kimi's Carpet!! Big John and Jacqueline Counts!"

"Jesse Jones, owner of Professional Carpet Systems came today to extract an entire bottle of red wine that broke and spilled onto our light beige carpet. If anyone could get our carpet clean again, I knew it would be PCS. Jesse was quick to respond, within minutes of my texting him, assuring me he would do his best to get the stains out. He arrived exactly on time, did a magnificent job getting the large stains out of the carpet and then cleaned the entire carpet in that room. I could not have been more pleased. I have used PCS for many years now and have never been disappointed with the service. Terrific customer service because Jesse Jones genuinely cares about his customers being satisfied with his work. I highly recommend PCS for your carpet cleaning needs. I’m attaching 3 photos of the carpet before and after the cleaning. Gail D Wake Forest, NC. "

"I used Dalton carpet 8 years ago and was satisfied. I needed to replace master, hall and stairs before I listed home to sell. Greg promptly returned my call and scheduled appointment. He showed up, knew the type and color of the carpet I was matching. Measured, and I had the new carpet installed 6 days later. I had a very squeaky floor and stairs.  They took care of that also. Great service. <br />"

"Outstanding experience from start to finish. Shayne was very helpful helping us decide an appropriate flooring product. Jason was continually in touch before and during the project. We never had to guess when, where, or what. A very pleasant change from other contractor experiences. JH was prompt, communicated, completed the project on schedule and provided insights and guidance. Quality installation. I couldn't ask for more."

"Excellent results. I had just bought a 20 year old house and the carpet needed some freshening before I moved in. The house was empty of all furniture so the job was fairly straight forward, but it was done efficiently and effectively. The carpet was left immaculately clean and had a fresh clean scent. They even cleaned a couple of pieces of scrap carpet I had upon request and at no extra charge."

"My experience with Holly Cole could not have gone better. She is an outstanding salesperson and is very knowledgeable about the different flooring options. She was very patient as I decided which carpet to pick and answered all of my questions particularly about finding the most environmentally friendly and chemical-free carpet. We have now had the Smartstrand carpet for 6 months and it has held up perfectly, we love it. While the price is high, Brentwood's prices seemed equal to or less than other businesses I checked."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Clayton, 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.
