"Overall, Tim Hogan's delivered once again. There were a couple hiccups in communication as the tile installer wasn't properly equipped to remove the existing hardwood in the location, then when the wood installers did remove it trying to work over each other. Outside of that, the crews did a great job again. This was our second purchase with Tim Hogan's, and we'll likely be using them again once we replace the rest of the flooring."

"We replaced existing vinyl flooring for about 1/3 of the first floor in our house. Wood's Custom Floors had a large choice, and I found what I wanted easily. The installers showed up on time the first day (were about an hour late the 2nd day), were quick and professional in their work, and my new flooring looks wonderful. This installation should have taken only one day, but it was discovered that I had 2 pre-existing layers of linoleum instead of the one I thought was there (we are not the original owners of this house), and thus required removal of the top 'floating' layer, which added a good bit of time. The half-bath was the only area requiring work on the 2nd day, and it was finished in short order. We want to put new carpet in our master bedroom, and replace the vinyl flooring in the masterbath with tile. I plan on using Wood's Custom Flooring again, and that's the highest praise I can bestow."

"ROSE FLOORING installed new carpet / padding in my family room today.  They also did a repair job on the carpet installation in a bedroom (by another person) well beyond my expectations!  Initially I had a contractor from Ridgely install carpet in my grandson's bedroom... they under cut in more than one area,  the doubled up on padding ( plus a spare piece of carpet ) in the closet area, took my money and ran. <br /> ROSE FLOORING came out ,  pulled the carpet, re-stretched it, completely re did the closet area with extreme PERFECTION! I simply could not be happier with the work the do. To say they are amazing would be putting it mildly!  ROSE FLOORING will have any and all flooring projects in my home for this day on.  <br /> <br /> If Your looking for accurate, prompt, professional , courteous , and affordable flooring... Call ROSE FLOORING! <br /> <br /> Sincerely , <br /> Ms. Loretta Johnson <br /> Ridgely, TN  38080"

"In order to prepare our entire upstairs and upstairs closets for carpet installation, my husband and I worked for 4 days packing books, lamps, items from shelves, desktops, floor, etc.  We were told that the installers would move all of the furniture and would break down beds. <br /> On the day of the installation, I was called by the installation manager who had been called by our installers and was told that the beds had to be broken down.  He said that the sales rep (who was very nice and professional) had misinformed me and that I must break the beds down myself.  I am a small woman over 60 years old (my husband was at work).  There were 3 young men present to install the carpet.  I had to break down a queen-size bed and a full-size bed by myself.  Thankfully, the young men agreed to break down our grandchildren's bunk beds.  <br /> I was pleased with the final result.  The carpet looks very nice, and the installers did a good job.  In the end, they were helpful. <br /> But...I will not use this company again.  The customer service from the installation manager was poor and unprofessional.  <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Oakland, TN

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.
