"They did a great job from start to finish. We just moved into a home that needed a good amount of work and to finish the job, the stairs and upstairs bedrooms needed carpet. I had received a card from a friend who said Nei Brothers were very good. I called them and Dennis came over to measure the job and had 50 different samples with textures. We decided on a style that had a small design and they did a great job with install and clean up! Besides the carpet being installed, I didnt know they were there. Very price competitive, knowledgeable, and friendly. I would recommend them!"

"We found the best installer we've ever had in JRE Carpet Service! We had a different, well-known area flooring company install new carpeting at our home a while back. They left fraying edges on 18 feet of entry space into our kitchen and foyer. I should name that company but I won’t. We couldn’t believe they left edges like that, and with the carpet sunken lower than the tiles. When we brought it up they tried to charge us to come out with tapered carpet ‘ramps’ to raise the floor and rework the carpeting. We told them the right thing to do would have been to have figured out the need for them in the first place. We didn’t trust them at that point so we asked around. That's when we found the best installer we’ve ever had in JRE Carpet Service, who was recommended to us by a builder friend that we know. No matter where you purchase carpet from, my wife and I would recommend Jorge, owner of JRE at 630-675-5283 for install. He will measure for you, you go find the carpeting you want, and JRE will perform high quality installation. Jorge was excellent to work with, kept all appointments on time and did exceptional work.

"My recent experience with The Carpet Guys was a very positive one. The need for new carpeting arose from water seeping through a lower level bedroom wall. Chris Higgins, my sales representative, was courteous and informative regarding my carpeting options. His close attention also proved invaluable as he identified an additional area where water was entering the room. Had he not noticed this, the new carpet installation would have been ruined. I was equally pleased with the installation completed by Jose Gutierez. Even though I had misunderstood the arrival time, he was so accommodating, and he changed his schedule to ensure my carpet was installed on time. He did an excellent job placing the carpet under newly installed closet doors. I am grateful for such great customer service! (Order # MH064760)"

"Had flooring put in last week. Love it. The color is great and exactly what we needed. Linda did a great job helping us chose the product and had the installation scheduled promptly. The installers arrived on time and completed the job in a friendly and professional manner. I will be using Yancey’s again for all my flooring needs. Totally recommend them for all your flooring needs."

"I needed a new binding for one side of a sisal rug. Minasian found a near-perfect color match, so that it wasn't necessary to replace the binding on the other three sides, thus saving me a bundle of money. They also cleaned the rug and treated it with a stain guard. The whole project took almost 8 weeks---longer than I thought it should. But Minasian kept me informed through the process, and "comped" the materials charge (for the binding) for the delay. The pick-up and delivery occurred exactly at the appointed times."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Plainfield, IL

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.
