"I chose Carpet Hut to replace the carpeting throughout my rental property at this address. They did such an outstanding job with the quality of carpet and vinyl tile that I chose to the top quality installation I received, They were outstanding in every aspect. They were also running a fabulous sale with 24 months no interest financing and a $500 off coupon. I was so impressed with my experience, I had them do the carpeting in another rental property, also."

"Albemarle carpet has clean the carpet in our rental property for 20 years. After 20 years for the next five we just use the home for ourselves. The job that they have done for our carpet over the last 25 years is incredible. It’s as clean as the day it was put in. Of particular note was a service representative by the name of Tommy who did an excellent job. I cannot recommend them enough"

"The salesman, Hal, was extremely helpful and very patient assisting my wife and I select the right hardwood floor for our home; a beautiful Cappuccino Birch. Empire Today matched Lowes' product and installation price. Installation was conduct within days on my schedule. The installer, Cipian, and his crew were exceptional! Very professional from start to finish. They let my wife personally inspect each board before it was laid down. A+ craftsmanship on trim work!!"

"We had bought several rugs from Wahi in the past and went back to pick out a rug for a room we were furnishing. With Adi's help, we found the perfect rug for our color scheme and were very pleased with the exceptional service. They were prompt in sending the rug to us and provided the appropriate pad. We would highly recommend Wahi for beautiful oriental and contemporary rugs."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Elizabeth City, NC

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.
