"I would highly recommend Optimum Carpet Care. We had two rooms and 4 leather furniture pieces cleaned. Mike was VERY thorough in working on our furniture while Joe & Steve did the carpets. They were on time, did great work, and the price was reasonable. They explained what they would do, had a set price, and got the job done in a reasonable amount of time. Would certainly use them again."

"Working with 312 was one of the most painless experiences of home improvement we've ever experienced! We are in the midst of sprucing up a recently purchased home. As part of that, we replaced old and disgusting carpet in two upstairs bedrooms. We needed to match both the size, shape, grain, and stain of our pre-existing floors. Steve went above and beyond answering our questions and helping to find the floors that most matched what we had. The stain color wasn't perfect, but that was due to our choice of stains. However, the finish and grain look identical. The installation was near perfect; a far cry from the floors we've had in other homes/condos in the city. The were also impeccably clean; vacuuming both the hallway and the stairs on both days of the install. The demo and install crews were punctual and professional. I would highly recommend 312 for any wood flooring needs you have!"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Gurnee, 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.
