"The A Plus sales rep was very helpful in helping select the proper carpet material for the application. The sales rep that provided the quote did a very thorough job anticipating the cuts required to complete the installation. The installation team arrived on the agreed upon day at the agreed upon time. The installation team worked very hard tearing out the old carpet and thresholds. They then did an excellent job cutting and stretching the new carpet. I was very pleased with the finished product. I would say that A plus prices are competitive, but not necessarily the lowest. The extra money provides insurance that the company will provide high quality goods, high quality workmanship and will stand behind their work."

"An outstanding experience from quote to installation. Knowledgeable and helpful salesperson (Ash). Quick scheduling. Very communicative. Installers were the most professional contractors I've worked with. They arrived on time, took care of business in an excellent way, and left. And of course the carpets look and feel incredible, and it was all affordable. Couldn't recommend PriceCo more."

"Excellent! I have a terrible time choosing the right color and material, but design consultant Stephanie helped me pick just the right flooring. Her level of service and consultation is outstanding. Installation also went very smoothly. A very good experience overall."

"Their rep was extremely helpful in selecting a color and figuring out the best width of carpet to minimize seams that might trip one of our little kids. The only problem was that their rep had said the installers would glue the wooden strips to our concrete basement floor. The installers showed up and started hammering them into our concrete basement floor, which is not ideal. Apparently gluing the wooden strips requires doing the glue requires coming one day, and then coming another day to actually put down the carpet. Hopefully the nails in the concrete floor won't cause moisture problems... Otherwise they were great; the result looks great."

"They were great. On time with excellent customer service. I was debating get new carpet but wanted to try the deep clean first to save money if possible. So glad I did. I can forgo getting new carpet until next year because my carpet looks great!!"

"An excellent experience all around. We had our entire downstairs tile floor replaced with vinyl planking. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful. The estimate was absolutely pressure free. The installation crew was top notch and courteous. When they were done our rooms were as clean as before the job was started. I highly recommend them."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Elkridge, MD

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.
