"Our purple carpet had about 100 urine stains from previous dogs and our own. The specialist, Robert, matched to color and treated every spot. If we didn't know where they were, we'd never know they spots had been there. Perfect job!"

"The salesman arrived at the correct time. We told him that we were getting quotations for carpeting the sewing room. We looked at samples and selected one, but told him that we were having some work done on the sewing room and did not have a firm completion date for the carpentry and painting work and would not sign a contract until that work was done and we had made a final decision on the carpeting company. We also told him that we might change our minds on the carpet we had chosen based on the color of paint we use on the walls of the room. He seemed very disappointed that we didn't sign a contract at that time. Two weeks later, I called Empire Today's 800- number and said we were ready to do the carpeting. The salesman returned at a time that my wife wasn't home. I told him that she wanted to see the sample to confirm that our original choice would go with the paint. He said he had already made one trip to our home and if she wanted to see the carpet, we would have to go to Empire Today's showroom about 10 miles from our home. He said we could change the carpet choice without penalty if I signed the contract now. I signed the contract and gave the salesman the 10% deposit. When my wife returned a few days later, she said we should go to the showroom with the paint chip to confirm that the colors did coordinate. I left a message on the salesman's cell phone and texted him asking for the hours of operations of the showroom. After more than 24-hours, I received no reply to either the phone message or text. Then I called Empire Today's 800- number and asked the customer service representative what the showroom hours were. She informed me that Empire Today had no showrooms and the one the salesman told me about had been closed for a long time. To me, that said that the salesman didn't know what he was talking about or he intentionally lied to me to get me to sign the contract. At that time, my wife was ready to cancel the contract even though the 72-hour grace period had lapsed. I called the 800- number asking that a different salesman come to the house to show us the samples. An appointment was set for two days hence at 1;00 pm. At 1:00 pm on the appointed date,k the original salesman called said and said he wasn't coming and he had already used too much gas for a single room job. After discussing the matter, we decided to go ahead with Empire Today since she didn't want to wait another two weeks to use her sewing room. As it turned out, the carpet did coordinate with the room decor. The two men who installed the carpet did an excellent jog, so that part of the job went well. We used Empire Today last year and had favorable results. Unfortunately, it would seem that this salesman was more interested in reducing his personal costs rather than maximizing his future sales potential. I would hire Empire Today again only if a different salesman handled our work."

"We purchased hardwood flooring from a local discounter. The sales associate highly recommended Mr. Keeton so we called and set an installation appointment. Mr. Keeton's picked up our flooring directly from the seller (which was nice that we didn't have to haul it). He did not schedule an appointment to look at the room we were flooring, he just took our word on the square footage and quoted us a price. The morning of our appointment, his crew did not show up at the scheduled time. Apparently he double booked for the day and told us they would come in the afternoon and squeeze us in. We protested that perhaps we should schedule for another day but he insisted "no, no, they can come today". They showed up around 4 pm and worked through about 9:30 pm. They told us we had incorrectly measured our floors and we were in need of some transition pieces for the doorway.( a mistake that could have been addressed in a walk through and not 5pm the day of installation) We did in fact need the transition strips, however we did not need the extra box of flooring that they said we did and it is now sitting in our basement. The crew worked at a breakneck pace. They stopped only once or twice for cigarette breaks (they smoked away from the house and picked up their butts). The positives were: They worked hard, they were polite and respectful, and they thought enough ahead to lay the less attractive flooring pieces in places that would be covered by the fridge or stove. The cons: They were tired when they showed up and so they rushed through and made sloppy mistakes. (At the end they whizzed through the cuts on the quarter round, didnt fill the nail holes with putty etc) There were gaps in the hardwood in places so we had to ask Mr. Keeton to come the next day with wax filler and fill them in. They also (in order to save time) Didn't cut the boards flush with our exterior door frame because they figured we'd cover it with a strip "of something" and also left us to fill in the gap between our kitchen and livingroom where the new transition strip sits higher now that the new wood floors are in "with colored caulk or something" So The sloppy rushed work, by a tired crew, their lateness (arriving 7 1/2 hours later than scheduled and then making us feel that we were "lucky" to be "squeezed in" ) and the overall feeling that our job was wedged into an overbooked schedule (no walk through to confirm we had what we needed ) would make me unlikely to recommend this company to others. I'd much prefer to either pay a little more or wait a little longer to have a job done right."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Lebanon, KY

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.
