"The installers came Friday afternoon on March 20th and got right to work.   The carpet had been installed three years ago and <br /> had developed several wrinkles which did not look well and could cause tripping down the line. <br /> The job was completed in about an hour and a half and looked like it had just been installed.  They also  repaired  a loop in the carpet that was coming loose.   We were pleased with the results of the carpet stretching and repair. <br /> We will definitely use this service again. <br />"

"<p>The owner, Aaron, came out personally to show us carpet samples and give us an estimate.  Although he was late to our appointment, he phoned to let us know of the delay.  He was very courteous, helpful, and thorough in providing information and answering our questions both when he was with us in person and when answering follow-up e-mails and phone calls.  I recommend that customers visit his show room rather than or in addition to looking at samples at home because what he showed us was limited.  It turned out that the carpet we ultimately chose was in his car and we only saw it accidentally when we walked with him out to his car at the end of his visit.  (We don't know why he did not include it and perhaps others among the samples he brought into the house!)  After comparing his price and carpet information with other estimates and companies, we chose to hire this provider.  Although the installation was performed well, we were less impressed with the installer.  He was not friendly or communicative and left a mess behind him.  Maybe no carpet providers vacuum after themselves but we were surprised to be left with such a massive vacuuming job--including the hard floors where there were scraps.  (The vacuuming jammed our vacuum cleaner and required several changes of vacuum cleaner bags as well as a lot of time to get done--and our house is a very small, 3-bedroom bungalow!)  Also, Aaron had said that the installer would trim any doors that needed it, but the installer only removed them but would not trim them.  We were left  with doors off and trimming still to be arranged.  The reason we give this provider an A for quality and price is that, when informed of our distress about this unsatisfactory situation, he arranged for another worker to come the following week and do the trimming at a discounted price.  We give him a C for professionalism because of the unsatisfactory situation with the installer, with whom he is responsible for contracting.</p> <p><br /></p> <br />"

"THE FINISHED JOB WAS PERFECT & THE INSTALLERS POLITE. THE DOWN SIDE IS THAT THE SAMPLES THEY BRING TO YOUR HOUSE ARE LITTLE 1'' X 2'' SQUARES, SO IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE A GOOD IDEA OF WHAT YOU WANT, IT WOULD BE HARD TO MAKE A GOOD DECISION FROM THAT. I ALSO GOT AN ESTIMATE FROM COMPETITOR ($2400 FOR CARPETING ONLY, $4400 FOR DESIGNS) & THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL. THEY LET ME BRING BIG PATCHES OF CARPET HOME TO GET THE SHADE JUST RIGHT."

"Ross did an exceptional job cleaning our whole basement and bedroom carpets. He also cleaned an area rug for me in our kitchen. I have used him several times and I love his professionalism, prompt response, ease of scheduling and clean carpet results! <br />"

"Very satisfied with this work.  Good carpet/flooring  selection.  After color choice, another similar carpet of better quality at similar cost was suggested (with which we agreed). Removed all old carpet and installed new pad and carpet quickly.  Vinyl flooring in utility room looks great with good attention to detail around furnace/water heater.  Rick came out at end of job and inspected/vacuumed rooms.  Great Job! <br />"

"It was a great experience. They were able to come out quickly and lay the carpet the day after I picked the it out. They were very professional, had a nice selection and the work came in on price. They were informative and gave suggestions on the best options for basement carpeting."

"The carpet ordering process and installation went very well. America's Floor Source was very flexible with several chances that occurred in our installation date. The gentlemen who completed the installation was very careful with our newly finished basement and paid close attention to detail when installing the carpet pattern. Chris came by at the beginning and end of the installation to check on how things were going and to ensure the carpet was being installed as we discussed (pattern direction, within closet space, etc.). I would highly recommend America's Floor Source."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Elwood, IN

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.
