"Scott and his crew did a great job on our laminate flooring installation! They were on time and got the job done quickly. This was a challenging job because the floor was very uneven and Scott took the time to get everything right and leveled before installing the new flooring. Definitely recommend and would use again!"

"This was for new construction. Don at Carpet City was pleasant to work with. Pricing for vinyl plank was fair. Installation price was higher than other places we received quote from. Installers were punctual. Finished the job in two days."

"New floors revitalized our house. Jeremy Moffitt gave us excellent guidance on materials. We installed hardwood flooring on main level and vinyl flooring and carpeting on the lower level. Quality Floor's installers did an outstanding job of removing old flooring and replacing it. Work went quickly with good cleanup afterward. We highly recommend Quality Floors."

"Mr. Rodriguez promptly came over and then emailed me an estimate that night. We agreed on a date approximately three weeks in the future at my request. Mr. Rodriguez and his men were friendly, professional and very hardworking. They completely sanded the floors into bare wood, stained them and applied three coats of polyurethane. The entire process took about a week. Their price was very competitive and the quality of their work was excellent. I will definitely hire them again if we decide to add additional wood flooring in our house."

"Sent agent to our house for measuring. Then sales quoted a price. Flooring was installed as agreed. Vinyl installed properly except overcut in one corner and corner rounding installed was not satisfactory. Then sent us an additional bill for services. Additional charges created a conflict concerning the amount of corner rounding and glue needed for job. After complaining and sending photos of work done, billing did issue a small refund for the job."

"We were very happy with them. We chose them because everything is made in America, which we liked. They came on time and did good work. They were pleasant. We liked everything about them. We particularly liked the Christmas messages they put on television which glorified the Lord Jesus. The price was reasonable. It included everything including materials, installation and moving all our furniture and appliances."

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.

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.
