"Very well! The communication between the office, me and the installers was spot on. The installers were professional, hard working, and the job was done in one day. All my questions and concerns were dealt with in a timely manner and to my satisfaction. This business is about doing quality work, listening to the customer, in a timely reasonably priced manner. We will use them again when we finish replacing the carpet in the rest of the bedrooms."

"This is a great company.  I will definitely be using them again in the future when we re-do our downstairs flooring.  Everyone I dealt with was professional and courteous, and the workmanship was great.  The couple of small installation concerns I had were dealt with ASAP and corrected quickly and easily.  Overall, a fantastic experience and my carpet looks great! "

"This was a long time ago so details are a little bit fuzzy. However, we were very impressed with the staff at the store location and the crew that came out to do the installation. The carpet is still holding up very well after over 3 years. Pick a quality carpet from them, and Jimmy's will do a good job on the install. The folks in the store are very friendly and know their stuff."

"Excellent service! Made a call to request a price quote, Barbara was able to come out and take measurements that afternoon, called w/estimate the next day, and worked with my schedule to get the work on the calendar. Their installers knocked out the work in one day (second floor and staircase of a small Cape Cod), including removal of old carpet, and everything looked great when they were done!"

"Their services and representatives were excellent. Laurel was my customer service rep and I enjoyed working with her. She was very helpful in providing me ideas and things to consider during my carpet selection. She addressed all of my concerns. The team doing the installation was great, very professional and cleaned up everything and moved the furniture back in its place. I will use this company again when it comes to replace the carpet upstairs in my home."

"Getting hardwood floors installed is an expensive job no matter who you get to do it, and Scott is the best.  Very hard-working, meticulous, detail-oriented, expert knowledge on anything to do with hardwood.  Worth every penny.  Followed up with us as needed on lots of questions we had and other things we wanted done, and he was very responsive.  We had hired him previously (about a year before this job) to refinish our first floor hardwood floor, and he did such an excellent job we hired him to install hardwood on our second floor.  I wouldn't trust my hardwood floors to anyone else. <br />"

"They did a very good job; it just didn't really help. Air ducts just don't stay clean. I mean, that the nature of the work is you clean air ducts and then they get dirty again, so that's not their problem. They did a fine job. They just don't stay clean in an old house. I don't think there was anything that they didn't do. We were pleased with them. We called them, they came, they cleaned the ducts. They were very responsive. I think they were punctual. They came when they said they would come. I don't think I'd bother to clean the air ducts again because I think that they don't stay clean. I don't think I would do it again, but if I were going to do it again, I would use them. They were reasonable. They did what they said. They were clean and neat."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in New Kent, 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.
