"Great service! Steve called prior to arriving at the motger-in-laws home - he was right on time. Professional introduction and walk through to discuss job. He pretreated stains, and roto machined high traffic areas. The whole process took only 1 1/2 hours. Steve is a wizard with carpet! Great job! Thanks!"

"The price was reasonable for what they did. The experience went pretty well. The price was really good. They were the cheapest that I could find to do the entire area. I was able to go to the store and pick it out. I was able to look at it before it went down. They had a wide variety of flooring to choose from and I went with a lighter color. It is a beautiful floor. They were very responsive. The contractor that they hired was late for first two days because their vehicle broke down, but it was not their fault. They were very professional. I will be using them for some door installation."

"They did a beautiful job. We are especially impressed with the matching job they did installing around a center fireplace. As the weather changed, the floor buckled somewhat. We called them back twice and they came out quickly and did a fact efficient job. We are very pleased with the result. The floor is beautiful! <br />"

"I walked in the store and told the clerk what I needed and the measurements and use of the room. She asked me a couple of questions and led me over to the roles of carpet to recommend the one that she thought would work best. She also helped me pick out the best color to go with the walls. I had told them that I needed it installed that same week which they said was doable, but as luck would have it, an appointment for the following day was available due to a rescheduling by another buyer. She also suggested that I get the installer to measure the other room that will need carpet soon while he was at the house. <br /> The installer, Ashley Price, called the next day and showed up on time. The installation went quickly and smoothly and looks great. <br /> The installation cost $148.00 which included moving the furniture and hauling away the old carpet. <br /> I was very satisfied with the whole process since I hate to wait for anything! <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Elgin, SC

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.
