"Initially the service was well received, they were responsive and were professional in their conduct. Only later did the carpet cleaning treatment proved to be destructive to the rug and undermat. Some two months later the rug started to buckle (ridges formed) which was not true of the area not treated. Apparently the deep cleaning affected the underlying mat (the rug is in a three year old house)."

"He showed up a bit late and didn't have my phone number. He told me that a carpet strip was installed incorrectly because the previous installer used glue to secure tack strip. He ended up using glue also so don't know whether it was done properly but it looked good when he was finished. Overall the work was done to my satisfaction. I would recommend him to others needing carpet repaired."

"Clawes Carpet replaced the flooring on both my entry way, main level, basement and the stairs which connect these levels in my townhouse. I cannot say enough positive thoughts about this company, its administrative staff, installers and the whole process from start to finish has been smooth and well organized (even when I requested to change the install date :)). They are accommodating and the final result is outstanding! I love the final results, and receive lots of compliments. This has been the best and most pleasant experience! I would and have recommended this company over and over."

"I have hired Priceco about five times for my house. Every time the work is done well, the pricing is great, Ash is responsive and honest. They have installed hardwoods in my lower and upper levels the indoor stairs and luxury vinyl done in my basement. The flooring selection is great, pricing fair and workmanship always wonderful. I just had them re-do flooring in a bathroom which was not done well. I will only use Priceco in my home!"

"Dealing with Steve was wonderful. Very responsive, told me what and when to expect what. The installation went fine but there was a broken clip on my bed frame from when they moved it. Some seams are also a little more noticeable than I thought they would be after just a few months. They did give me the best price for the same carpet as their competitors."

"The carpets look great! When they returned them they included the pad I asked for a quote on. A simple misunderstanding. I called and they arranged to come pick it up and gave me a full refund including state tax. Pleasant to speak with and a job well done."

"Excellent carpet and installation. They had provided service years ago and it was excellent then as well. I will be replacing existing flooring in other areas of my home and will definitely reach out to Matt and hope that Alex and Ruben will be the installers."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Laurel, MD

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.
