"It went very well working with Shawn.  There was a small delay due to circumstances out of there control, but Shawn made sure everything went well.  Carpet installers were very nice, they did an incredible job, very neat, quiet and quick.  Shawn is really nice to work with, I would highly recommend him.  Oh and the carpet, really really nice carpet at an amazing price. <br />"

"Contractors arrived on time and were very meticulous when preparing the surface that the carpet was to be installed on.  I had some issues with a seam in the concrete and some uneven places.  They repaired and leveled the concrete.  Contractors were very experienced and did not hurry the job.  Henson's has been around for a long time and is not one of these fly by night carpet companies. <br />"

"They were really good. They were here when they said they would be. They worked steady until all of the carpet and tile was in. They moved my furniture and replaced it, which was nice that I didn't have to fool with that. They had to order the carpet and it took a week for it to come in and then they installed it a couple of days later. The price was reasonable because he gave me nice thick padding. I am going to have them come back later in the year to do another room of carpet."

"<p>I originally got a bid from one of the "Home Improvement" stores, they came out and did a measurement and a couple of days later gave me a quote. Then, when they wanted to schedule the installation, the quote had gone up about 20%. When I inquired as to why I started getting "nickeled and dimed" for all kinds of charges. So, I canceled the deal.</p> <p> </p> <p>I then went to Ivey's, and couldn't be happier with the customer service, quality, and professionalism. From the time I went into the show room all of my questions were answered, and they actually came out and did the measurement on the same day as the initial contact. They then gave me a rock solid price, for better quality carpet and pad at a lower price than the "Home Improvement" store had quoted me. We scheduled installation for about a week later, and it all went great. The salesman even showed up to inspect the job a few hours after the installation just to insure the quality. All around, great experience, and I would recommend them to anyone.</p> <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Elm Grove, LA

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.
