"It went well from picking out carpet to fit our budget to placing order to installation. We are very happy and a job well done. They even installed carpet in our linen closet which was a nice surprise. I would highly recommend"

"Worst carpet experience ever. I will never again use, or recommend, Carpet Fair because the owner is unprofessional, changes his word, and is one of the worst examples of customer service I have experienced. We first went to Carpet Fair even though they were not the cheapest, but because I have always been committed to supporting local stores. Yes, they did install the carpets, but after they left, we found deep scratches on our walls (we had just had the house painted last year). But this is not the worst part. When Sam Spector, the owner, came to measure for carpets initially he told us about how he had gone to school to study carpets, etc. He then proceeded to measure the carpets and the closet doors and distinctly said, “I think you should be okay”. He had measured the door and gap between them twice. I was clear that I did not want to pay for cutting closet doors, but his response was, “I think you should be fine”. As soon as his guys came, they took off the closet doors and started ripping off the carpet. They said that there was no way that the closet doors could be put back on without us incurring a heavy charge to the closet doors. I immediately called Sam Spector, he came over, talked to his guys, and his words (when he left) were, “Don’t worry. We can take care of it”. He didn’t. We were told that it would cost us to cut 8 sets of doors. Almost $500 that we didn’t budget for, and so I called him. 1. When I called him, he said he was upset and hung up. I did not scream at him or raise my voice, but he still hung up. That is terrible customer service. 2. He explained that when he said, “It may be close”, he meant that it was a 50-50 chance. I explained, via a football analogy, that close was being at the 1- or 5-yard line and not the 50-yeard line. 3. He made a comment that even if he did it for half the price (something he had never offered) – that I wouldn’t come back to him. This gave me the clear impression that he was not interested in making things right for a customer, but only cared about future sales. 4. Finally, he offered to do it for $350 but by then I was so disgusted with his behavior that I would never let him or his employees ever enter my house. I will never give this man another dollar ever. I have lived in the world of customer experience strategy and execution longer than Sam has had a job. I know bad customer service, and this was clearly it. It was also obvious that this was not a business he built from the ground up. If he had, he would know good customer service. As he explained to me, it was just a business he inherited. Since then, we have had visitors who asked us about them getting new carpets. I shared my experience, and let’s just say that Carpet Fair has lost more than they have bargained for. Beware of using Carpet Fair until you have everything this guy says in writing, and you have had a lawyer go through it."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Princeton Junction, NJ

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.
