"As always they did a great job. The installers were on time, worked efficiently, and left the place looking clean and great. No marks to the walls or baseboard. We had a similar experience with a tile install on our kitchen floor several years ago. The crew was courteous and the work was great. We've have gotten carpet at least three times and tile once, and never did they try to upsell is to something we didn't need - they worked to find the right product, not the most expensive one."

"Their rep was extremely helpful in selecting a color and figuring out the best width of carpet to minimize seams that might trip one of our little kids. The only problem was that their rep had said the installers would glue the wooden strips to our concrete basement floor. The installers showed up and started hammering them into our concrete basement floor, which is not ideal. Apparently gluing the wooden strips requires doing the glue requires coming one day, and then coming another day to actually put down the carpet. Hopefully the nails in the concrete floor won't cause moisture problems... Otherwise they were great; the result looks great."

"After sending an e-mail to Petersen's Carpet & Flooring, I was promptly contacted by Gayle Petersen. She scheduled a time to visit the cabin to take measurements, and after that visit I stopped by the showroom to pick out different flooring options. She provided her expertise as I looked at different options but also gave me space to explore what was available. (She even insisted that I eat some blueberries from her lunch after noticing I was a little hungry!) I decided to use a combination of carpet, luxury vinyl, and solid hardwood in various areas of the cabin. Gayle even made a followup visit to the cabin to help me determine whether the lines in the vinyl I originally picked out would work with the bathroom, which had many weird angles. Ultimately we settled on a different pattern that better fit the geometry of the room. The three types of flooring were installed by three different teams of installers across four different days, and Petersen's Carpet & Flooring worked with me to find dates that fit in my schedule. Each installation team was prompt, courteous, and professional -- I have no complaints about the quality of their work or the finished product. They worked very hard. The final result looks great! Throughout the entire process, I kept in touch with Gayle, and she quickly answered any questions I e-mailed her. Carrie was also a great help, assisting with scheduling and keeping me up to date. The new flooring really freshened up the cabin; I'm glad I chose Petersen's Carpet & Flooring and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others. It was a pleasure working with Gayle and the team -- they're good folks. I sure don't miss the pink carpet!"

"We had an excellent experience with Rivers Carpet. We called them in for an emergency carpet replacement after our existing carpet was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. We were able to get the carpeting replaced in less than a week. The price and service were exceptional, and Mr. Rivers did a great job recommending a grade of carpet that matched our needs. I am happy to recommend them without hesitation.

"We ordered a rug from Carpet Yard in 2012 and then had them install some wall-to-wall carpeting in our basement in 2013. In both cases they were nice, responsive, and easy to deal with. They let us bring swatches home for a week or so to compare in our space, were easy to get on the phone, and had good availability for scheduling delivery and installation. We shopped around a little and I found their prices to be somewhat higher then the national companies, but then again, they didn't demand that I order the carpets on the same day I got the estimate like one of the other places I looked at. A slightly higher price seemed like a fair exchange for better service and for supporting a local store."

"Overall, this was a really great experience. Bob Coe provided estimates quickly and answered all of my questions. He was at my condo when the workmen arrived, to make sure that everything was squared away. He also got the job done in one day, then returned a few days later to make sure that I was happy with the results. They were somewhat more expensive than the other options I considered, but the carpet is extremely high quality and the customer service was superb. Definitely recommend.

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Ridge, MD

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.
