"Main Street Oriental Rugs did a great job cleaning our Persian rug. We accidentally dropped a wine glass and splashed red wine all along a white border. Main Street came to the rescue. They picked up the rug the same day that I called, moved a heavy coffee table to get to it, and returned it, clean, as promised 10 days later. They did a deep cleaning and I can honestly say the colors are more vibrant now than when we sent it out. The red spots have vanished and we are very pleased with the outcome. We could not be happier. Thank you so much."

"After sending an e-mail to Petersen's Carpet & Flooring, I was promptly contacted by Gayle Petersen. She scheduled a time to visit the cabin to take measurements, and after that visit I stopped by the showroom to pick out different flooring options. She provided her expertise as I looked at different options but also gave me space to explore what was available. (She even insisted that I eat some blueberries from her lunch after noticing I was a little hungry!) I decided to use a combination of carpet, luxury vinyl, and solid hardwood in various areas of the cabin. Gayle even made a followup visit to the cabin to help me determine whether the lines in the vinyl I originally picked out would work with the bathroom, which had many weird angles. Ultimately we settled on a different pattern that better fit the geometry of the room. The three types of flooring were installed by three different teams of installers across four different days, and Petersen's Carpet & Flooring worked with me to find dates that fit in my schedule. Each installation team was prompt, courteous, and professional -- I have no complaints about the quality of their work or the finished product. They worked very hard. The final result looks great! Throughout the entire process, I kept in touch with Gayle, and she quickly answered any questions I e-mailed her. Carrie was also a great help, assisting with scheduling and keeping me up to date. The new flooring really freshened up the cabin; I'm glad I chose Petersen's Carpet & Flooring and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. It was a pleasure working with Gayle and the team -- they're good folks. I sure don't miss the pink carpet!"

"Last year Floor It Flooring installed tile flooring in 2 of my bathrooms and it worked out well, so I figured I'd have them install carpeting in my house. Unfortunately this job didn't go as well. When the owner Mike had visited my house weeks ago, we discussed pricing and various grades of carpet/padding which included looking at large swatches of carpet to compare texture/color etc.. I chose a low-medium quality carpet since I'll be renting out my house later this year and wanted something decent but not extravagant. During the conversation Mike stated that my house had 6lb padding and I thought since the carpeting wasn't going to be extremely thick, a better padding would help - so I decided to go with the 8lb variety and Mike said it would be a step above what I currently had so I was optimistic. Yesterday morning Mike and his assistant arrived to install the carpeting and I immediately noticed how thin the carpeting was as well as the padding being the same thickness as what I had. Now I was under no illusion that the carpet would be thick and plush - but it's so thin that when you walk on it you feel the concrete below. As I tap the carpet floor with my knuckle it makes a clicking noise - the backing material is that close to the surface. So when I asked Mike about the padding not being any better than what I currently had, he said that he "misspoke" and assumed it was 6lb. I explained that it was my impression that I'd be receiving padding that was thicker than what I had since he told me it would be a step above - I mean, that was the point of choosing the 8lb in the first place. He again said that he thought it was 6lb padding when he first visited to discuss the installation. Now had I been given accurate information from the beginning, I would have chosen 10lb padding - but it was too late. Sensing that he wasn't understanding just how confused and unsatisfied I was, I asked why the carpeting felt much thinner than the swatch I chose weeks ago. Mike simply said "that's the one you chose, so I don't know what else to tell you." Needless to say I was frustrated and bitterly disappointed with the whole situation since he made no effort to address my concerns. It was one of the most uncomfortable experiences I've ever had with a vendor - to feel like you're being taken advantage of and not be able to do anything since it was too late to cancel the job and get your money back."

"Everything went very smoothly.  Installers helped move the large furniture from the rooms and replaced items when done.  They did a beautiful job and everything looked as good as I had anticipated if not better.  Ken, the owner, was here several times.  He came out and measured and came out as the work was being done.  His suggestions for carpeting were great.  I originally wanted sculptured carpet but could not find the colors I wanted.  He suggested what was put down and I could not be happier with it."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Gettysburg, PA

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.
