"Recently we suffered a flooded basement and our nice Berber carpet was ruined. I checked Angie’s list for recommended carpet and flooring specialist. It was important for us to find a reliable contractor that would do the work for a fair price. A name that topped the list was Bockrath. I messaged Bockrath and was contacted by Doug. He sent Adam to our residence to give us a proper quote on the required project. Adam listened to our requirements and took the measurements of the space. He got back to us during that weekend with a decent quote. We went to Bockrath’s location in Far Hills (Dayton area) to check out the Carpet Showroom. We were met by Tom, who was supper nice and attentive. We told Tom what kind of carpet we were looking for and he showed us a number of samples of various quality and price. Tom also told us more about the company, their history and how they operate. The selection was very extensive, and we found a couple of carpets that we were interested in. We ended up going with the Classical Presence carpet in Daydream, which was in our price range and the closest match to our old carpet. Tom passed on the information to Adam, who sent us an updated quote. After thoughtful consideration we got back to Adam, that we would like to have Bockrath do the project. Bockrath was able to schedule us in pretty quickly for the installation, which was very important to us. We received a confirmation from Ryan with the install date and arrive time of the crew. On the install day, Rich and Alex arrived on time, as scheduled to do the work. They were very friendly and well experienced with a carpet install project such as ours (which included a carpeted stairway). They worked very hard and efficiently. Rich and Alex would contact us at different stages of the work to invite us to see the progress and answer any questions. Because of the extent of the work they had to come out on Saturday to complete the work on the stairs. I should mention that this great install team also did a super job of cleaning up any debris and the space looked great when they were done. There was no hard sales pitches at the conclusion, but they did leave informative materials on how to care for the carpet and possible accessories we might be interested in. Oh…. and our dog liked them as well. The whole process was top notch from the timeliness, professionalism, and knowledge of their craft. I do recommend that anyone planning a Carpeting of Flooring project check out Bockrath Flooring and Rugs."

"We have been Dayton Carpet Liquidator customers for over 20 years. The owner, staff and installers are focused on providing a quality product and excellent customer service at a reasonable price. We were not pressured in any way to purchase flooring and even encouraged to take samples home on more than one occasion. The installers are consummate professionals and the end product was noting short of excellent."

"They did my carpeting in my house about three years ago. I usually have it done right before Thanksgiving. What stands out most to me is their honesty.I had a chair, and I wanted them to clean the upholstery and he told me that honestly, the stains in there would not really come out all the way. I thought that was really remarkable because he wasn't going to charge me money to clean it when and he knew ahead of time that the stains in there were not going to come out because they had been in there so long. So that was something that stood out to me."

"<strong>I have the tile, and needed someone to install it.  After driving some distance to visit their store was told they ONLY install tile that's purchased from them.   I asked if he could refer me to someone who laid tile, he said  'no.'   RIDICULOUS!   Folks in the trades know lots of people who do this work.  'While the salesman was courteous, I left  most discouraged.<br /> My understanding when joining Angie's List is that my service request would be reviewed and responded to by qualified vendors.  That did not happen for me.</strong> <br />"

"Chuck and Chris were extremely professional and they worked HARD -- finishing the whole job in a day, except for one part of the stairs where we had ordered extra edging on the carpet. As a result, the carpet needed to be sent back to a processing facility. McSwain's was prompt about scheduling the follow-up installation, just a few days later. We were a bit taken aback by the price, but my wife and I feel the end result is worth it. Thanks!"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Dayton, OH

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.
