"I chose Carpet Hut to replace the carpeting throughout my rental property at this address. They did such an outstanding job with the quality of carpet and vinyl tile that I chose to the top quality installation I received, They were outstanding in every aspect. They were also running a fabulous sale with 24 months no interest financing and a $500 off coupon. I was so impressed with my experience, I had them do the carpeting in another rental property, also."

"Flawless. Jack, Kevan and team were courteous, professional, timely throughout and pricing was on point. Kevan was thorough with the initial assessment and scope of work to be completed. He provided valuable information as we coordinated with paint contractors. We had to bump up our timeline of putting our house on the market and Jack called me right away and shuffle things around so we could meet our deadline. The day of the job, we had a huge snow storm coming, but they rolled in with a team of 5+ guys and they had our old carpet hauled out and fresh new plushy carpet installed and out of there within 5 hours. Amazingly fast, efficient, kind, professional and great price! Would definitely use them again and highly recommend."

"It was a filthy carpet in an upstairs duplex apartment that we own. We were not sure it would clean up. Dycarp cleaned it beautifully and it looks almost  brand new. Highly recommend them. <br />"

"It went great! They couldn't promise that it would be perfectly cleaned, but they got the smell out and the few stains you can still make out are hardly noticeable. We've bought several rugs from them and had a few cleaned there. We feel they're honest and reputable, we keep going back to them!"

"I found Dry-N-Clean Carpet Cleaning through a search. The reviews that I read were all very good! My call was answered immediately and the company came out the same day! I was called 30 minutes prior to let me know they were on the way. When Matt arrived to service our carpets he was professional, knowledgeable, and kind.Our carpets look brand new again and I couldn’t be more pleased! Matt also left us with a bottle of premium spotter that we can use on spots ourselves! That was icing on the cake! I would highly recommend this company and I will definitely use them over and over in the future! Professional and courteous! They get the job done beautifully!"

"They owners/managers were very professional and prompt. They showed up on time to give me the quote and when I went into the showroom, they assisted me in picking out exactly the type of carpet that would fit my needs and price range. They were very nice and I didn't feel like I was "getting sold" on any particular type of carpet (which was the impression I got from some of the other carpet places I visited). We had a slight problem with the actual installers, however. They were late to the job and didn't bring a vacuum (theirs was broken), so when our furniture came the next day we still had little carpet balls everywhere. Our carpet has also pulled up in one corner, although to be fair, that might be the work of one of our cats... We would use this company again because it wasn't a big deal that they were late and their price was so good. The lack of vacuuming bothered me, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that it was an isolated occurrence (they were apologetic about it)."

"They were very thorough, and took the first day to remove the old carpet and pads. They prepared the surfaces right for a good installation. The new carpets are very good quality, and were precisely our preference. We have not had any problems with the carpeting, and didn't have anything bad come up in the process of them putting it down."

"Final fit of the flooring was sloppy resulting in shoe molding not completely covering the installed flooring. The vinyl planks in many instances were cut too short which left excessive gap at the baseboard that couldn't be covered up by the shoe molding. The padding underneath the flooring in some instances was visible after installation of shoe molding. I expected better of Cherry Carpet!"

"Floors Unlimited has a very broad selection of flooring materials in their showroom - the most difficult part for us was narrowing our choices down. They are also very professional yet easy to work with. The installation itself was done on schedule with no issues whatsoever. If you don't know where the seams are, it's tough to find them and the fit of the vinyl to the walls is excellent. Further, we accidentally damaged the floor after the install (our fault) and they came back out promptly and fixed it, and you can't even tell it was repaired even knowing exactly where the damage was. Highly recommend this company."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Portsmouth, 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.
