"I will be using this company again. From the first time we entered the business, met with Michelle, and began the purchase process, it was smooth with true professionalism. John came to the house to measure and prepare the quote and was easy to work with. The installers are rock stars--they showed up on time for a two-day job and finished it in one day, we were stunned. The entire process, from quote to installation was less than three weeks."

"Very good. Prompt response time after inquiring about their services and professional interactions at all times. Very focused on making sure that our experience went well and that we were in the budget we were comfortable with. The carpet turned out great!"

"They accepted my Angie's List coupon and I had told them that ahead of time. I had no problems at all and the work was wonderful. The service techs were very good. They took my carpet out to my car & loaded it for me too. The carpets were ready when they said it was time."

"Jeff and his team were friendly and professional. There was a great attention to detail on the installation. They worked quickly and left the work space spotless. During installation they noticed some squeaking in one area of the floor and worked to address it before laying down the new floor, which I don't know that many contractors would take the time to do. He came in lower than other store front type flooring services and did a much better job! We will definitely use them again on future projects, Jeff was a delight to work with!"

"From start to finish these folks were top-notch!    I live in the country a ways away from their showroom, but when I contacted them they promptly scheduled an on-site rep to come survey the work to be done and measure.   She did a terrific job (Jan) and I followed-up the next week with a visit to their showroom to look at samples.    I chose half hardwood (for the great room) and half carpet (for bedrooms)... the showroom's spacious and has tons of samples -- I think I was there over 2 hours... Jan was VERY patient with me... and made several calls while I was there to confirm availability (I needed them to do the install within the following week, as my move-in date was less than 9 days away!) <br /> Install-wise the guys came on-time and were VERY polite & professional!    First a crew came and ripped out and removed the old carpet -- then the hardwood was delivered within minutes afterwards and they got busy installing that.    They got the whole thing done in hours and it looks GREAT!   (I especially like the matching toe-molding they used to finish it off) <br /> While they were working there was a crew ripping out old carpet in the rest of the house and installing the carpet padding.    Following day I had the carpet installing guys come and they put in the new carpet in no time.    No messing around -- worked hard, took few breaks.... got it done!     Whole project was done EARLY that week and had time to do some final prep of the place prior to move-in date. <br /> I've since also had gracious follow-up since from both Jan and Customer Service to make sure I'm happy. <br /> HIGHLY recommend these guys -- and I'll be using them again for other rooms in the house... as well as referring them to my friends (already have!)   A +++++++    and THANK YOU! <br />"

"They did a great job, calling me within 45 minutes of a web inquiry that I made an hour before they opened, they were able to come out an stretch a 7 year-old carpet that had started bubbling up. They came out the same day and were great to work with. They worked around several features that made the job more challenging (hearth, baseboard heater) with aplomb. I'd use them again in a heartbeat. <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Louisa, VA

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.
