"This company knows what it’s doing. I called Mighty Clean and Linda provided estimate, arranged date. Kevin arrived on time, measured, provided actual cost (close to estimate), completed work in 2 hours (again as estimated), and left me with a “like-new” carpeted rec room and a sparkling modular sofa. I definitely recommend this company and will use them again."

"Very pleasant and professional experience. Chris and Herbeth were exceptionally careful in my home. For example, they put plastic shields up on the corners of the stairwells so their equipment would not scrape or chip the paint. Carpets looks great. I would definitely hire again and recommend."

"Clawes Carpet replaced the flooring on both my entry way, main level, basement and the stairs which connect these levels in my townhouse. I cannot say enough positive thoughts about this company, its administrative staff, installers and the whole process from start to finish has been smooth and well organized (even when I requested to change the install date :)). They are accommodating and the final result is outstanding! I love the final results, and receive lots of compliments. This has been the best and most pleasant experience! I would and have recommended this company over and over."

"Excellent carpet and installation. They had provided service years ago and it was excellent then as well. I will be replacing existing flooring in other areas of my home and will definitely reach out to Matt and hope that Alex and Ruben will be the installers."

"The gentleman who came to my house was wonderful.  He was by himself and i wondered how he was going to get the carpet out. (when he came returned the carpet he came with help)  He was very efficient and informative.   And both he and his helper were extremely friendly and polite.  I enjoyed working with them.  He even looked at the other oriental carpets in my house and told me what type of carpets they were,   an estimate of their value and even how to manage sun damage. <br /> He recommended a few things, but not did not seem to be looking to boost the bill. <br />"

"What a GREAT experience from start to finish. We had the Carpet Man install out living room and two stairways. The two brothers arrived on time and ready to work. They were polite, efficient and new their job completely. Vacuumed and cleaned up when finished, they even offered to move all our furniture back in place. Imad and his father at the store were very helpful. If you need carpet they are fair, have a large selection and very professional. "

"Their rep was extremely helpful in selecting a color and figuring out the best width of carpet to minimize seams that might trip one of our little kids. The only problem was that their rep had said the installers would glue the wooden strips to our concrete basement floor. The installers showed up and started hammering them into our concrete basement floor, which is not ideal. Apparently gluing the wooden strips requires doing the glue requires coming one day, and then coming another day to actually put down the carpet. Hopefully the nails in the concrete floor won't cause moisture problems... Otherwise they were great; the result looks great."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Clifton, VA

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.
