"Great quality carpet. Nice people installed the carpet. Salesman who came to do the estimate was not friendly at all. I'm someone who relies on the estimate. However, the final bill was much higher than the estimate with absolutely no explanation given. Really too bad because I really like the guy who owns the place. I will go with someone else next time."

"VERY WELL -- I could not be happier. Tom helped me pick the correct flooring based on what i wanted for my house. He was very fast in getting an onsite estimate, scheduling the work, following through with how things were going. Any follow-up needs I had were addressed extremely quickly. <br /> The installers, Jerry and Josh Schumacher were AWESOME -- I have had less than satisfactory experiences with other service people, but these guys were everything I could ask for. They had tremendous experience in installing the flooring correctly and in a quality manner. They took great consideration in asking any questions of me, so I knew ahead of time of any potential problems we might encounter (i.e. previous installation leftovers), helped me move furniture that they didn't have to, and they didn't forget ANYTHING. I didn't have to run around and remind them of this or that to be done. I could leave the house and know I could trust them. They were respectful of my property, my time (very prompt), and my cats :-). <br /> I had solicited estimates from a third-party installer from a 'big box' store, who never called me back. I am so glad he didn't, because I turned to Schumacher's and it was the best thing I've done in a long time. I am very grateful to them for making this experience as hassle-free as possible. <br /> When I get my house back in order (I'm slow), I hope to take pictures so others can see how awesome tile linoleum looks throughout a house. My friends and family are already in awe of how great the floor looks (they were skeptical of my idea of putting tile linoleum throughout the house -- they aren't anymore :-)). <br /> I would recommend this company to ANYONE needing any type of flooring assistance. <br /> <br />"

"We had a very small job - to have durable tile installed in our small foyer. Most building professionals (I <br />  have found the hard way) do not like small jobs.  But this salesman treated us so well - he offered advise and suggestions throughout the entire ordering process and yet let us come to our own decision.  We could have been buying for a 4000 sq. foot house. <br /> Very impressed and would highly recommend. <br /> <br />"

"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!"

"When first contacted for a bid on the work, Done Done Services was prompt in providing the estimate. Initially my elderly Mother-in-Law did not want to deal with moving out furniture and elected to do the minimum necessary to repair the damage. Once the work began, however, it was evident that more work needed to be done to correctly repair the damage. Pat Freilinger, the owner, and the assigned workman, Chris, convinced my Mother-in-Law that they should do what was necessary to do the job right. In the end Chris did a fantastic job removing wall paper in the entire room, repairing plaster, sealing cracks, and painting the room. The work was done on a timely basis and the end result was fantastic. Both Chris and Pat kept us informed of the progress and Chris helped my Mother-in-Law put the room back together when all of the work was finished. I would not hesitate to recommend Done Done Services for similar work."

"New walls were built using paneling that matched existing paneling.  I had asked for a 3-foot-high box with removable or hinged lid to be built around the sump pump to keep the cat from playing with it; Jamie recommend a closet instead of a box, which was acceptable to me, and will prove to be a better choice when I have the sump pump discharge rerouted away from sanitary sewer. <br /> Sump pump failed overnight during construction.  I had not moved in yet, so I was glad that the workers altered me.  With my authorization they had a new sump pump installed, removed the soaked carpet, and ran dehumidifiers to dry out the basement. <br /> One door was installed opening opposite my request, but this was too minor a detail to ask for a correction. <br /> New doors and trim were stained and varnished, and all messes were cleaned up completely.  Very happy with the work.  Solar tube (skylight) in bathroom is wonderful!"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Marion, IA

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.
