"All aspects of the service were performed in a highly professional manner from booking to the repair work. The carpeting had been installed by another retailer which did not properly lay down and stretch the carpet. I could not have been more satisfied with the owner, his office staff, and the installers."

"John was very professional and explained the job in detail. The finished product was amazing so good that I also had my upstairs flooring done recently. I was also given extras such as 5" molding that made the room look stunning. His crew left everything clean when they were done. The flooring looks too nice to walk on. I am sure the floor will look just as nice for many years to come."

"I was able to schedule cleaning the same week I called. They did the job in the expected amount of time. They were able to remove a number of unsightly spots on the rug. They did a very good cleaning job and the carpet dried in a reasonable time period for a maritime climate."

"They were great. Ed from Allied was able to come that day to provide an estimate, which I was very happy with. He was able to send the installer 2 days later (my requested date). The installer, Augie, called me to tell me when he would arrive, and came when expected. He was very friendly and professional. I am very pleased with the results. You can hardly see the line where I had to cut the carpet. Easy, affordable, reliable, and great work. The way things should be."

"I called Bob in to give me an estimate to replace the carpeting in 2 bedrooms of a condo. Since I live out of town and was there for the day Bob was very accommodating and worked his schedule to meet with me . With samples in hand, the entire process of selection and pricing was finished within a half hour. Since the carpet I chose was in stock, the job was finished within a few days and looks great! I'm very happy with the entire project and would recommend Bob's Carpet Service. Great pricing, Great service..Thanks Bob!!! <br />"

"Everything went as planned. We went to the store on Route 9 about 2 weeks prior to closing and spoke with Karen about getting something set up for measuring and work done. She was very helpful and told and pretty much told us to give them a call when the house closed to set up a time to measure. She told us what to expect with estimating, pricing, and timing on getting the work done. She was always very responsive and, when we called her the day prior to closing, she told us when to expect Jim, her husband, to come out an measure for the carpeting. Jim came, measured, and the next day, got us a very reasonable estimate for a nice, quality carpet. Both were very accommodating with allowing us to take the carpet samples to see in our new home to make sure we liked the choices, They ordered the carpet, and told us exactly when it was to arrive. Work was done right after the carpet came in. We could not have been more pleased with the entire experience and the quality of work done. They did an excellent job and were always timely and professional. We would definitely recommend them to anyone and will use them in the future when we have flooring needs arise."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Livingston, NJ

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.
