"Everything was great from the start! Glen was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of flooring and helping me with picking the right carpet. The price of the carpet was very well priced! Couldn’t be happier with the installation! Will be a repeat customer!"

"I had already purchased the tile so just needed someone to do the installation. Got excellent help picking a grout that best matched the tile. The tilers arrived on time and did a great job removing the old flooring, preparing the floor, and laying the tile. When the work was complete however I noticed that the sliding closet doors no longer slid/moved, the carpet was not cut to match the tile for one bathroom, and their was a noticeable difference between the height of the hall carpet and the new tile in the other bathroom. The tilers told me it was not their job to fix these problems. It was able to fix the closet door problems myself. I however had to call Ideal and schedule another time for their carpet guy to come out and fix the carpet/tile transition issues for the two bathrooms. It was a week later when the carpet guys came out and they did a great job finishing the job. For the price paid I was expecting someone in the original crew to have taken care of these 3 items."

"Very well. Joseph arrived on time and we discussed the scope of the work requested. He got to work and took his time, doing an excellent job on everything - including the storage shed in my back yard, even though it wasn’t requested or included in the quoted price. Previously I’d had Upfront Services clean my carpets and they did an excellent job for a reasonable price so I felt comfortable using them again. They work like it’s their home - doing an excellent job for a reasonable price and usually going above and beyond as well. I highly recommend Upfront Services!"

"From start to finish, The Woodlands store made carpet buying and installation a pleasant experience.  I had been dreading the process, but after reading reviews on Angie's List, my husband and I went to the store where Brenda helped us find a great carpet, on sale, and she was really wonderful work with.  We then scheduled a carpet measure, where great care was taken to place seams so they showed the least given the light, efficient use of the carpet, etc.  I was very impressed. <br /> We bought the carpet in advance of the installation, as I wanted to take advantage of the sale, but wanted to wait until the last minute before our home went on the market to install it.  This definitely takes a leap of faith, but no worries!  Rebecca, the very nice scheduler, called to confirm our install date and it was installed exactly as planned.   <br /> Finally, the installers were kind, professional, and helpful.  Other than strip the bedding, I did not have to do anything but confirm that the furniture was put back in place as I'd had it beforehand.  We had a baby grand piano, dining table, king-sized 4-poster bed, and large highboy for them to move.  They were careful, fast, and I did not need to worry at all.  The process of returning the furniture to its proper place was made easier because the intelligent installers had somehow marked in advance where the large pieces went.   <br /> We got a great price for wonderful carpet, installed by kind, experienced installers (there was just one small carpet piece leftover, which they gave us).  We dealt with very kind, professional people every step of the way.  I cannot say enough good things about the entire process.  Of course, I would whole-heartedly recommend Flaherty's to anyone wanting new carpet.  Thank you to the whole team! <br />"

"Jordan, the manager was awesome. He was incredibly knowledgeable of his product and was able to come and measure the house the very next day. The plan was for the installation to take five days. The installers for the tile were prompt and efficient. The install only took three days. The carpet installation only took six hours. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to remodel their home. They may be a bit pricy, but you definitely are paying for what you get: excellent service, diligent workers, and efficient installation."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in La Porte, TX

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.
