"My whole experience was very very good. They were helpful in the store; two or three representatives pitched in to help me find the specific carpet I was looking for. They were professional and obviously experienced. They were careful to make sure I got the exact carpet I wanted."

"We have used Bloomington Professional Carpet Cleaners for all of the 23 years we have lived in this house. The carpet was 3 years old when we moved in, and has never been changed. It looks almost brand new. That's partly because the previous owner, who built the house, put in high-quality carpeting. But we attribute most of the reason the carpet has lasted so long to Bloomington Professional Carpet Cleaners. We have had them in twice a year, without fail, and whenever we've needed a special cleaning because of a spill, for example. We cannot recommend them more highly: they are, as the name says, professional. They arrive on time, move whatever furniture needs moving, carefully place barriers underneath the feet of large pieces, and do their work efficiently. And the prices have always been fair. We recommend them to all of our friends. <br />"

"I needed carpet and vinyl flooring installed in a short period of time, which Empire Today was able to fulfill. I felt that I paid a premium for service on short notice, which I expected. The salesperson was a bit pushy and asked more than once, "do we have a deal?", which felt smarmy. On the day of installation, all went as planned until the vinyl installation was complete. The quarter round was not replaced. When I asked about it, the installer said that "it looks fine without it," which I disagreed with. He offered to put caulk down, which helped, but still did not look like a complete project. I did not like how he dismissed my request. I sent more than one email to Empire Today about this problem, but they did not follow up with me about this issue."

"Our purple carpet had about 100 urine stains from previous dogs and our own. The specialist, Robert, matched to color and treated every spot. If we didn't know where they were, we'd never know they spots had been there. Perfect job!"

"Air Duct Cleaning went very well and I will call them again. Messages from Angie's List may be going to their spam mail. When I did not hear from them, I called number on their website and scheduled an appointment in two days. It was a foggy cold morning but they arrived on time and completed the job in a timely manner. I look forward to a winter with cleaner air! <br />"

"It was great at first! But you don't understand how good work is until it's been done for about a year. There are a couple things that I really drive me nuts about the work performed: <br /> - the drywall isn't even so the baseboards and crown modeling has gaps that we have to keep caulking <br /> - there are strings that are coming off the carpet <br /> - you can see a gap in the padding under the carpet <br /> - the cords in the back of the TV are coming from a drilled hole, they didn't put a plate over it (didn't notice this until long after work was done) <br /> - the light switch plates aren't flat on the wall <br /> - the door knob of the door they installed is already coming off (cheap!) <br /> - there are waves in the ceiling where the drywall didn't match up straight <br /> A couple of these things we had them come back out and look at but after it's complete, there is little that can be done. Because there is a flood, insurance paid for portion but we chose to upgrade a lot since our basement was old in the first place. Since we weren't a high paying job, clearly we were back burner. I wish I would have paid more attention at the time the work was done but I didn't. Lesson learned and we would use someone that pays better attention to the details. <br />"

"They did everything they said they would and went above and beyond. They offer a year warranty on their work, show up on time, and even will come back to fix things. Josh is due to come out to fix some things the HVAC people did in a couple of days. They have a store, and they sell flooring, but I did not know that at the time I ordered carpet from Menards. They had no problem installing what I had purchased from elsewhere. I cannot recommend these guys enough! Seriously, if you need flooring installed, give them a call. I am having them come back to quote tile and hardwood flooring as well."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Helmsburg, 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.
