"Initially the service was well received, they were responsive and were professional in their conduct. Only later did the carpet cleaning treatment proved to be destructive to the rug and undermat. Some two months later the rug started to buckle (ridges formed) which was not true of the area not treated. Apparently the deep cleaning affected the underlying mat (the rug is in a three year old house)."

"My most important considerations were access to high quality product and the vendor's ability to support a non-negotiable installation schedule (national movers were slated to arrive on 9/6 with furniture for that room). A Plus easily accommodated these (even though the carpet wasn't originally on-site). It was great that this was a 'local' vendor (based in Columbia). My sales rep, Gene, knowledgeably advised on quality and helpfully sent me home with a returnable sample that I could study on the floor. (This was particularly important as my prior color was no longer available.) Gene arrived within two days to measure the space and place the order. (I saved 1 percent by paying in-full on the day I signed the contract). The installation crew arrived 90 minutes earlier than expected (though, to be fair, I missed the call during which they tried to notify me). Removal of the old carpet and installation of the replacement required about three hours. While installers had to move two large pieces of furniture, for the most part, the bedroom and closet were empty. Never having done this before, I was surprised how noisy the process was. These folks did a good job. I intend to hire again with a similar installation for two other bedrooms, a staircase and hallway after these have been professionally painted."

"Clawes Carpet replaced the flooring on both my entry way, main level, basement and the stairs which connect these levels in my townhouse. I cannot say enough positive thoughts about this company, its administrative staff, installers and the whole process from start to finish has been smooth and well organized (even when I requested to change the install date :)). They are accommodating and the final result is outstanding! I love the final results, and receive lots of compliments. This has been the best and most pleasant experience! I would and have recommended this company over and over."

"We wanted to install wall-to-wall carpet in our family room. Steve Shaffer in the Potomac location was very helpful in our initial discussion, recommending carpet options that were affordable but nice (we're preparing our house for sale). His estimator came out two days later and was on time, efficient, and pleasant to talk to. When the day came for the installation, the crew showed up right on time, was very professional, and worked very efficiently to remove old remnant carpet and pad and install new wall-to-wall berber carpet. We are very pleased with the result and would recommend them to others. <br />"

"An outstanding experience from quote to installation. Knowledgeable and helpful salesperson (Ash). Quick scheduling. Very communicative. Installers were the most professional contractors I've worked with. They arrived on time, took care of business in an excellent way, and left. And of course the carpets look and feel incredible, and it was all affordable. Couldn't recommend PriceCo more."

"They worked extremely hard and did a beautiful job! They were professional and helpful throughout and the carpet which was quite soiled from a prior renter, came out perfectly. I will definitely use them again. Thank you!"

"Vertical Connection is wonderful! I asked them for a certificate of insurance, and they gave it to me. Stephanie was very helpful. In an e-mail, I told her that I wanted white draperies. When I arrived at the store, she had many samples already picked out for me. I told her that I wanted the draperies to match the paint on my walls. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring a sample of the paint color. Stephanie, however, has samples of all of the Sherwin Williams paints, and she matched the swatch to the paint color perfectly. She also had a nice selection of hardware to go with the curtains. The installer put up the drapes in less than an hour. I had a great experience with this vendor!"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Olney, MD

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.
