"HIGHLY recommend this carpet cleaning service. Went through Angie's List to get recommendations and Walter responded within just minutes of my quote request. We continued to chat back and forth and he responded immediately every time. By the end of that day we had an appointment set up for the following week. He showed up early, was efficient, extremely knowledgable about stain removal, etc. and his price just can't be beat. It was literally half of the price of the quotes that I received from several other local carpet cleaners (even with the little extra I paid to get out several VERY tough kid stains like juice, slime concoctions, etc.) The carpet looks practically brand new and it's been a very hard-lived-in kids playroom for over a decade."

"Process went very well. From picking the carpet with the sales person to installation. <br /> <br />Only have 2 complaints. 1) They have a minimum purchase amount for the "free installation". 2) One installer spoke NO English, and the second spoke very little. Was hard to communicate with them. But they did a good job and were professional. <br />"

"Free estimate and as we were unsure if we wanted an area tiled or not, they allowed us to keep both the carpet samples and a ring of tile/linoleum samples.  We ended up doing the tile ourselves, as the price for that was fairly high, and it was nice to have the carpet sample (a large sample, not a tiny one) to take to the store when picking tile and grout.  The price and quality of the carpet and pad was great.  They didn't push us into the most expensive one, made suggestions based on our lifestyle, family makeup, and location where it was to be laid.  When the time came for installation, they were quick and professional.  Highly recommend this company! <br />"

"I was relieved to find that fastfloors.com had the porcelain floor tile that matched the tile that was already installed. The price and the product were as advertised. Product was delivered in 2 separate shipments from 2 different locations -- GA and NJ -- and arrived on 2 separate delivery dates via common carrier (semi truck). Product delivered was correct tile, correct amount, and undamaged. Product was delivered within 7-10 working days of purchase, as promised."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Dover, DE

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.
