"We hired Floor Coverings International to restain and carpet our new home. Mike and his teams made our vision come true and their expertise helped to guide us. They kept us informed every step of the way with picture updates, group texts etc. and made sure to check in before any new phase started. The work was completed on time, and we couldn’t be more pleased with how the floors and carpet turned out. We will absolutely be using them again for future projects!"

"Finley Flooring did a superb job of refinishing our dining room floor, sanding decades of old finish and revealing the beautiful southern yellow pine as it was installed 150 years ago. Gorgeous! Using an amazing array of the latest equipment and tools, from big sanders right down to small brushes, Seth and Josh worked with care, precision and attention. they got the job done quickly and perfectly. They are the experts we hoped for when we decided to have the floor redone. We will definitely use them again!"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Poughkeepsie, NY

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.
