"They gave me a price lower than quoted from 3 other companies and cannot say enough about this company.  They did a wonderful job and I love my kitchen.  I received 3 quotes and they had the best prices.  They laid all new sub flooring.  They were extremely friendly and wonderful to have in my home.  They did such a great job that I am looking for other rooms done.  I bought my flooring and a mattress from Heynssens & Selin's.  After the work day they left it cleaner than what before they came.  I would highly recommend them. <br />"

"<p>We went with Bodamer's based on word of mouth although we did shop around and find better prices on the same flooring. We had a few issues with the installation crew that I don't care to mention on a website. We know that most if not all homes don't have perfectly squared walls but the vinyl floor layers were off and the patterns looked crooked. The vinyl was cut slightly too short to meet the door wall, but not enough to have it redone. We know our bathroom had some issues with crooked walls but we were assured it would be fine to install when we picked this particular pattern. Well, it had to be redone. Bodamer's did not want to do this for us until I brought up the issues with the installers. It was redone and turned out way better and we were satisfied.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /></p> <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Rapid River, MI

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.
