"They did an amazing job! The team moved our furniture out of the way, pulled up our old carpet, and installed the new hardwoods. Very professional job! They were also quite responsive to a plank that had a slight 'pop' due to an uneven foundation issue. A+++ rating!"

"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."

"I had trouble getting a response (it took a a couple of days) to set up a visit for measuring. The day and time came and at the last minute when I was expecting him, the phone rang and Joey said he got detained by a customer and was just now leaving <br /> the store. I was annoyed as I had rescheduled some things to be home at that time. I think a phone call should have been made earlier. He never apologized and seemed as if he didn't care one way or the other. I told him I had an appointment and couldn't wait very long and he said it would take him about 20 minutes or so. I cancelled my plan and waited for him. <br /> Joey arrived and again never apologized for being late or not calling, he really seemed as if he didn't care. He measured and told me he would have the estimate the next afternoon. So at 4 the next day I finally called and he said he didn't have it ready. He was rude on the phone and I decided then that I would look elsewhere for carpet. He did finally call around 5 or so with the estimate and really acted as if he didn't care if he got the business or not. <br /> I found someone else who gave a better bid, didn't play games with the prices and was very customer oriented. <br /> I would not recommend Joey's carpet. <br />"

"They ended up exchanging everything out for us, but it was just more of a hassle than anything. The installers also didn't speak English so it was hard to communicate with them."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Portland, 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.
