"I highly recommend locally-owned business, Flooring galaxy. The owner, Michael is knowledgeable about his products, came out personally to measure for flooring and delivered the wood himself. He is always available to answer questions and lend a hand. When we struggled to match the wood floor vents to the wood floor color, he recommended a professional (Austin) who did a marvelous job. He offers superior customer service that you won’t get at most places."

"We had them come to our house and measure the areas that we wanted to install new carpet. I thought I would hear back from them in a couple of days but did not. When I called to follow up she said she had been leaving messages at a wrong phone number. So, it didn't get off to a great start. We decided to go ahead and purchase the carpet and picked our installation date. The installer arrived on time and did a good job. We plan on using them again in the Spring when we have additional carpet installed."

"I went to Clark Flooring and made an appointment with Jackie Clark. In a few weeks, a representative from Clark flooring came to my house and took measurements. In a week, Jackie called with an estimate. We accepted the bid. 4 weeks later, Jim Clark and a new hire, Scott, started work. Three days later, they were finished. They were friendly and professional. They finished the job on time and on budget. I would definitely recommend Clark flooring to anyone wanting a new floor."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in East Alton, IL

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.
