"I highly recommend Valley. The service, communications, and personal care provided was outstanding throughout. Glenn provided exceptional care and made us feel like our satisfaction was the top priority. Our carpet arrived with a defect, at no fault of Valley, and he went to great lengths to make sure the situation was rectified quickly and effectively, and that in the end, we were very happy. If you are looking for old school customer service, I highly recommend Valley. We love our new carpet, and will undoubtly use Valley next time. A+"

"I would highly recommend using Rich's Carpet One for all of your flooring needs. From start to finish, working with Rich was a pleasure. He allowed us to take our time in choosing which color we wanted, providing us samples to take home and "try out", called the manufacturer to ensure the floor we chose would work with our big dogs and worked around our schedule for installation. The installers were courteous, professional, neat and their work was amazing. I would definitely use Rich's Carpet One again!!!"

"I found them by their good reviews here and they did an amazing job! They did the flooring in my kitchen and one bathroom. It looks great! I'm so happy I did it! They showed up when they said they would and did an awesome job. What more can you ask for? They were also very nice people. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to get a floor done. And they have a beautiful showroom full of samples to view if you want to."

"They were great. Ed from Allied was able to come that day to provide an estimate, which I was very happy with. He was able to send the installer 2 days later (my requested date). The installer, Augie, called me to tell me when he would arrive, and came when expected. He was very friendly and professional. I am very pleased with the results. You can hardly see the line where I had to cut the carpet. Easy, affordable, reliable, and great work. The way things should be."

"As is indicated in the stellar A rating in every category, I couldn't have been more pleased with all aspects of the products and services offered by Carpets to You. I have been patronizing this business for several years for tile and carpet throughout a number of renovations in our home. I have never been at a loss for options or assistance in making a decision and couldn't imagine using anyone else. Very highly recommended! <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Dayton, NJ

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.
