"We contracted Nei Brothers to give us an estimate of replacing the carpet in our entire house. Dennis was extremely knowledgable about his products. The level of service on our first visit convinced us that this was the company for us. <br /> The work was done in 2 phases to lessen the disruption to our special needs child. They made sure to have his bedroom completed and ready for him before he came home from school. The quality of the workmanship cannot be beat. The quality of the materials used far exceed our expectations. Because we had this done on two different days, the clean up between each phase was outstanding. Overall this company is one of the best service companies I have ever dealt with. <br /> I would and do recommend NEI BROTHERS to anyone in need of carpet! <br />"

"Joe, the installer, was great. He arrived on time and started work immediately. There were two layers of old vinyl flooring that had to be removed first. On the old flooring, there was an area at the base of the stairs that had a crack in the flooring, leading us to believe the subfloor would have to be replaced. When Joe took up the old flooring, he discovered the subfloor was not damaged and would not have to be replaced. The installation took one entire day, and the only break Joe took was at lunch time. The workmanship is great and the floor looks fantastic. Joe set up his table saw outside and even cleaned up that area when he was through. This is the second time we have purchased from this company. Previously, we had then replace the carpet in our living room, stairs and upstairs hallway."

"Everything went very well from the assistance in choosing the right carpeting for the stairs to the installation of the carpeting.  We were kept up to date on when it would be installed and the crew who did the installation were very professional and courteous and when the job was completed everything was cleaned up very well. <br /> We would definitely do business with Carpet Central in the future. <br />"

"Joe made sure our carpet was in stock and scheduled the install quickly. He also accommodated our request for an early start time (so I could meet the installers before I left for work). The installers were at my home for 14 hours, ripping up the old carpet, laying new pad and the new carpet. I was impressed that they stayed and finished it all in one day. The carpeting looks and feels great, I'm very happy with it. Joe has since called to make sure everything was okay and to our liking and I've also received a hand written thank you for your business note! The personalized customer service is wonderful! Thank you to Joe and the entire team at Carpets in the Park."

"Lance was great!  I called the day before and due to a shift in his schedule he was able to come the next morning.  Lance was on time and went right to work on my project.  His work is quality and he is quick and efficient.  If I need carpet work in the future, he is the person I will call. <br />"

"When shopping Erin explained the different options that were available and made some money saving suggestions. Purchased a high quality product at a very reasonable cost. (Price included installation and disposal.) The installers were GREAT!! The crew arrived on time. Took out the old carpet and padding. Installed the new carpet and padding. They also removed and discarded the old material. Cleaned up when finished. THE CREW DID A FANTASTIC JOB. I was very pleased with the results."

"Amazing! The carpet looked nearly brand new. It is at least 9 years old and maybe a few years older than that. Stains and spots were gone. Getting ready to sell our house it was important that the carpeting looked good. They saved us thousands of dollars in replacement costs, and the job was done quickly too! We were out of town and someone was supposed to unlock the door for us, but it was locked when they arrived. They waited for 20 minutes while a friend came to let them in rather than rescheduling. (Guys, sorry again about the mixup with the door being locked!) They were professional about it and still gave us the full discount. Would absolutely recommend their service - it is the best carpet cleaning I've ever seen. <br />"

"It could not have gone better. They are the best contractors we have ever worked with. They were very professional. They were considerate of our needs as we moved everything from one room to the next as the installation proceeded. They cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day. The new floors look beautiful. I highly recommend Nex Flooring."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Fort-sheridan, IL

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.
