"I would highly recommend HFI to anyone looking to install and or refinish hardwood floors. They were very responsive and stood behind their work 100%. They are busy so prepare to wait a few weeks before They start but worth it!"

"They did an excellent job. They used a third party, and maybe I should praise the third party. Home Depot had good prices on good quality carpeting. The builders were the one who directed me to Home Depot, because their prices can't be beaten. The installers got the job done efficiently, cleanly, and very well. Home Depot has somebody that handles the carpeting. They may or may not be well trained. My guess is that their experience is variable. The fellow who we had was very knowledgeable. He wasn't trying to sell the most expensive product. We were fortunate that we got somebody who was knowledgeable. I think they have great products, price, and selection. If you have done homework and you know what you want, you can't beat that. If you went in there not knowing what you wanted, you might get a good product and price, but I would be less sure about that."

"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! "

"I have been doing business with them for 8 years. They are always very conscientious about what they are doing for me. They are very polite and very understanding. They are very patient. They deliver on schedule and help me out with whatever I need as far as flooring and carpeting is concerned. The experience was marvelous. I would absolutely use them again."

"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."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Petersburg, 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.
