"He showed up a bit late and didn't have my phone number. He told me that a carpet strip was installed incorrectly because the previous installer used glue to secure tack strip. He ended up using glue also so don't know whether it was done properly but it looked good when he was finished. Overall the work was done to my satisfaction. I would recommend him to others needing carpet repaired."

"Absolutely fantastic company and staff. We were getting our home ready to sell so we had them replace a significant amount of carpet in our home, and at a great cost. The day we put our home on the market, one of our dogs decided to chew up the entire stairwell carpet. I called PriceCo in a panic, and they managed to squeeze on in and come out that same day to put new carpet down. I can't thank them enough. Wonderful customer experience."

"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 />"

"Our carpet was a HORROR STORY. I'm not going to describe it, but one so-called "extreme carpet cleaning" company estimated, believe it or not, over $1200 to clean two rooms...and declined to even do the work at that price. The guy totally shamed me. Tim from Shamrock Carpeting came in and said, oh, yes, we should be able to help. He charged me a fraction of what the other company had estimated...and he got out a huge amount of the stains and odors. I just had him back for a repeat and it looks even better this time. He's so nice, he's so fast, he's so reasonable. I can't thank him enough. Don't even shop around. Just call Tim. You can't find a better cleaning at a better price. He owns that space!"

"They were great. On time with excellent customer service. I was debating get new carpet but wanted to try the deep clean first to save money if possible. So glad I did. I can forgo getting new carpet until next year because my carpet looks great!!"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Dayton, MD

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.
