"Mike actually installed carpet for me in July 2014. I'm on Angie's list now to get his number to do my upstairs! He worked with his son on the installation. Very professional and save me a ton of $ by cutting the carpet in such a way that I didn't have to buy a ton of waste (Empire carpet would not let me do that an insisted that I buy a ton of waste). I can't see any seams in the carpet and after 1 1/2years is still great."

"I received a response promptly when I called them, and they were able to complete the repairs the next day, between other jobs they had scheduled. They arrived when they said they would, introduced themselves, and took care of the job in approximately 20 minutes. The carpet looks brand new and you can't tell where it was repaired. They were very courteous and great to work with. Richard even trimmed a seam from the previous installation even though they had not installed the carpet originally. We will definitely use Shirkey's Carpet when we are ready to have the carpet stretched at another property we own. I would highly recommend them!"

"All I can say is they did an incredible job!!  We have had several businesses over the years clean the carpet in the master bedroom and it always looked like it was just permanent stains and we would have to have the carpet completely replaced.  Instead I decided I would give another company one last try and all I can say is they did an INSANELY WONDERFUL job!!!  The carpet almost looks like it never had been worn!!!!  I will use them again!! <br />"

"Carpet companies should all be like this.  This is a small, family owned business.  The family sells the carpet, the family (father and sons) installs the carpet.  And they do a terrific job and a very competitive price.  This job required a great deal of craftsmanship, for example, each of 20 stairs requires the carpet to be sewn all the way around.  It was all done perfectly. <br /> They gave us exactly what we ordered, they did it on time, they were careful with our furniture and they cleaned up completely before they left. <br />"

"Montie prompt and professional and did exactly what he promised to do, even earlier than scheduled. We needed our carpets stretched (they were BAD!!) and he and his crew finished in under 2 hours.  We found a ripple that was "hiding" under a dresser after they were gone. When we contacted him, he was happy to help and will be back later this week to re-stretch the area.  I would absolutely recommend him and will use him for any carpet installations in the future!  Thank you! <br />"

"Jim did an excellent job. The carpet is a berber carpet that had never been installed correctly and had numerous wrinkles in it. I thought it needed to be replaced but he came out and gave us an estimate, we decided for the price it was worth trying. He stretched it and cut it to fit properly around the doors. We're very happy with the result. <br />"

"David and Henry did a fantastic job restoring the beauty of our carpets. Our staircase carpeting is 20 years old, but you'd never know it after Henry finished working on it. Even the edges of the treads, which usually show the most wear, look practically like new. The two men also restored the brilliant colors of our 2 Oriental rugs. Throughout the process they were very polite and professional. We've hired Martin Carpet Cleaning before, and we'll hire them again. Price is right!"

"Timely and good communication in all aspects, despite COVID-19. In-house appointments and installation of carpet respected social distancing measures. Our sale rep, Ed Adkins, did a good job of listening to our needs (high traffic areas, and general wear and tear) and budget and helped us select a good carpet to fit. He also worked (talk, share his layout drawings) with us so we didn't waste carpet that we selecting for the main stairway. The stairway runner was lay with a Hollywood Tuck on the steps and looks fantastic with the finish wood. All is good."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Lancaster, OH

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.
