"I place an order to install the carpet for the living room and staircase. The waiting time was only two weeks. The installer came on time. He worked hard and did a high-quality job. I'll highly recommend this company for anyone who wants to get an excellent result on the carpet installation project for the affordable price."

"I ordered a counter top and one piece came in damaged and the other was cut to the wrong length. They replaced the damaged piece but expect me to pay for the other, pay a 25% restocking fee to return it or cut it to the right length myself or pay a contractor to do it. I will also have to by an end cap for the miss cut piece. My parents had a similar incident with them as well. Horrible experience, Horrible customer service. Would never recommend and will never do business with them again."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Oakland, 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.
