"This was our first big remodeling project and our expectations were quite high. However . . . Carpentry Plus far exceeded our expectations. They did a beautiful job and, it being our first remodel, were very helpful with suggestions on what was needed, from what items were needed, from cabinetry to backsplash to countertops to flooring. We'll be hiring them again for our next project."

"This is the third carpet Maloney has installed for us, so obviously we trust them to do a good job. And we were not disappointed this time. We thought the result was top notch and the guys on the crew were friendly and courteous. Lowell and Tom at the store were also very helpful and answered all our questions."

"We selected American Flooring for our Home Remodel project. They offered a wide selection of quality hardwood flooring and porcelain tiles. Yvonne worked with us to determine the best flooring options and obtained samples to enable us to make an informed decision. The flooring materials we ordered were excellent quality. In addition, Yvonne scheduled the flooring installation activities in coordination with our ongoing Kitchen Remodeling project. She has a wonderful team of experienced flooring installers. We were especially pleased with the professional work performed by Tim and his team. We have included some photos of the work performed. Overall, we are happy and pleased that we chose American Flooring for our project."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in East Lansing, MI

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.
