"The installers came Friday afternoon on March 20th and got right to work.   The carpet had been installed three years ago and <br /> had developed several wrinkles which did not look well and could cause tripping down the line. <br /> The job was completed in about an hour and a half and looked like it had just been installed.  They also  repaired  a loop in the carpet that was coming loose.   We were pleased with the results of the carpet stretching and repair. <br /> We will definitely use this service again. <br />"

"<p>The owner, Aaron, came out personally to show us carpet samples and give us an estimate.  Although he was late to our appointment, he phoned to let us know of the delay.  He was very courteous, helpful, and thorough in providing information and answering our questions both when he was with us in person and when answering follow-up e-mails and phone calls.  I recommend that customers visit his show room rather than or in addition to looking at samples at home because what he showed us was limited.  It turned out that the carpet we ultimately chose was in his car and we only saw it accidentally when we walked with him out to his car at the end of his visit.  (We don't know why he did not include it and perhaps others among the samples he brought into the house!)  After comparing his price and carpet information with other estimates and companies, we chose to hire this provider.  Although the installation was performed well, we were less impressed with the installer.  He was not friendly or communicative and left a mess behind him.  Maybe no carpet providers vacuum after themselves but we were surprised to be left with such a massive vacuuming job--including the hard floors where there were scraps.  (The vacuuming jammed our vacuum cleaner and required several changes of vacuum cleaner bags as well as a lot of time to get done--and our house is a very small, 3-bedroom bungalow!)  Also, Aaron had said that the installer would trim any doors that needed it, but the installer only removed them but would not trim them.  We were left  with doors off and trimming still to be arranged.  The reason we give this provider an A for quality and price is that, when informed of our distress about this unsatisfactory situation, he arranged for another worker to come the following week and do the trimming at a discounted price.  We give him a C for professionalism because of the unsatisfactory situation with the installer, with whom he is responsible for contracting.</p> <p><br /></p> <br />"

"It went so well in removing stains with Ron that we have decided to have Smith-Mathis take over "all" our carpet cleaning and stain removal needs because of the great work ethic, people skills, and technical expertise that Ron Butler brings into a home. He's very very good at what he does. We want him back whenever it's needed. Thanks you Smith-Mathis!"

"<p>In having the carpets cleaned many times in the last 31 years that we have lived in this house, this had to be the best experience we have ever had. Ross Trittipo (owner and carpet cleaning guru) is a true professional in every sense. It is so rare today to have an individual take real concern and pride in the quality of the service they provide. Ross is one of those individuals.</p> <p>He arrived as scheduled and after a walk thorough of the house got immediately to work. He was very aware of walking on the carpet and wore his special shoe attachments at all times. He was very careful with moving the tubing around the house and even had plastic corner protectors so the walls would not get damaged.</p> <p>The cleaning job he performed was excellent. There were a couple of heavy traffic area concerns which he cleaned up beautifully. The carpet had a slight dampness after the cleaning (as expected) but was not bad at all. It was completely dry in about 8 to 10 hours. He even provided the two of us water resistant shoe covers to wear around the house until it did dry! That's a first.</p> <p>Bottom line, without hesitation, if you need your carpet cleaned, I highly recommend Ross and MiddleKey. </p> <br />"

"I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Rick was very prompt in returning my call and came out to the house to measure and work on an estimate prior to installation. Based on the price quotes we received from other installers, Rick's pricing was very reasonable. Once we settled on the product that we wanted to use he ordered the flooring and got us scheduled. They were even able to start on our install a day earlier than they had originally planned which was very nice.  <br>The guys who installed our flooring were very courteous and did their best to minimize the amount of dust which is not an easy job when tearing out all the old flooring and installing new flooring. Not only did they do a great job but they were also able to finish the job a day early. In total, the installation took 4 days. Once they were finished they reinstalled the shoe trim throughout the main floor and cleaned up any dust that still remained. I am thrilled to death with the outcome and would highly recommend Rick and his team to anyone. We will definitely use Rick Short Flooring for our carpet replacement on the second level of our home next year. <br> <br>"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Indianapolis, 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.
