"I called Nikki and she said they could be here the next day (or that same day if I had only needed the carpet cleaned (and not the tile, but I did). The two-man crew showed up the next day. They called ahead as promised and arrived on schedule. They explained what they were going to do and gave me the quote, and then they began work. They moved most of the main furniture (recliners, end tables, love seat) and cleaned the entire living room. They laid down some type of enzyme treatment to fight the order, and applied scotchguard treatment to the carpet. They cleaned the tile well and picked up the area rugs to take them back for treatment at their facility. They did a good job. This was a bit over a week ago; they returned the area rugs yesterday and offered to unroll them for me. The crew was friendly and professional the whole time they were here, and they did good work. The prices seemed reasonable and I would hire them again in the future."

"The whole time we spent interacting with Kelly's Carpet was wonderful. They are a great bunch people who treat you like family when you enter their store. If they don't have what you have, they will do their best to get it for you. Our conversations on the phone were pleasant and friendly. I would always use Kelly's for carpet and other flooring needs. <br />"

"Big Red was very reasonable on their prices compared to other businesses. They did an exceptional job and I have had no problems since. One of things I liked best was they weren't pushy about cleaning the carpet. I went ahead and had them clean 3 rooms and was very happy that I did. The price was really reasonable as well."

"Outstanding!! Charley came to give an estimate. He did all the prep work (moved the furniture; pulled back carpet and removed the water-damaged pad); came back with a higher quality pad, installed the pad and re-stretched the carpet. Done in the time he estimated and gave us a VERY fair bid. Highly recommend Charley. EXCELLENT work!!"

"Underfoot - installed carpet in living room and bedroom and sheet vinyl in kitchen and bathroom.  The work was done in a timely manner, and everything looked amazing.  Both owners were prompt and very informative.  If I had a question or concern they made sure all questions were answered before anything was installed.  Highly recommend!!"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Lincoln, NE

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.
