"They make sure that everything is well taken care of. The most important thing is when they do the installation, the employees are so friendly. They go above and beyond. They make the process easy. They even helped me move a large grand piano. They have worked with me on pricing too. I wished I could give them an A+. I plan to use them in the future with some flooring in some rental properties."

"The salesman found the carpet we wanted, but was very rude. Afterward we asked him to find a particular tile which he told us he couldn't. Another store found the tile in less than an hour. The installer was very good, however he was an independent contractor and we have used him for other jobs. <br />"

"Installed new ceramic tile flooring in our kitchen and laundry room. They were able to install over the old flooring which saved on the cost and mess. Bill and another installer were very good with the installation, although it took them a week to get the job completely done. A couple days they only worked a few hours, then left, which is aggravating! Other than that, they did a nice job of cutting and installing the tile."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Fort Wayne, 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.
