"Last year I purchased flooring from Floors Direct. My sales man was Bill Wallace and he sold me 532 sq ft at $12/sq ft totaling $6,800 Last week I went back to Floors Direct to purchase additional 230sqf and 9 stair nose moldings of the same product. Bill quoted me $3800 and told me that there was an increase in cost for the product. I showed two different quotes of the same flooring from competitive retailers and asked him if he can match it or at least come down on price. His reply was very dismissive: “good luck buying your product online... I hope you get what you are paying for.” Well, I’m glad I decided to purchase somewhere else. The product is the same, carries manufacturing warranty, and best of all I saved $856. I was disappointed at the lack of appreciation for a repeat customer, but in reality, I was charged a premium and overpaid by $1470 on my initial purchase. Their motto is “quality flooring at the lowest, bottom line price” I guess not ... Lesson learned."

"Demo guy never prepared the house dust storm everywhere. Was to remove old backsplash instead he cut it out and had to have a drywall guy come in and cost me an extra $600 to fix. Wrong molding put up. Was told on day one when cabinets come in they would have them done about 10 days. After 6 months of living in disaster zone finally done."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Lake Placid, FL

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.
