"The A Plus sales rep was very helpful in helping select the proper carpet material for the application. The sales rep that provided the quote did a very thorough job anticipating the cuts required to complete the installation. The installation team arrived on the agreed upon day at the agreed upon time. The installation team worked very hard tearing out the old carpet and thresholds. They then did an excellent job cutting and stretching the new carpet. I was very pleased with the finished product. I would say that A plus prices are competitive, but not necessarily the lowest. The extra money provides insurance that the company will provide high quality goods, high quality workmanship and will stand behind their work."

"Used Angie's List coupon. Worth the drive to Laurel from Owings Mills. Owner himself came out to measure and give estimate. Please keep in mind that if you have, say, a 1000 square foot space to cover and there a number of rooms and closets and hallways and zigs and zags that add up to 1,000 square feet and the price is $1.00 per square foot, your cost will not be $1,000. Carpet is sold and installed by the roll, which maybe 12 or 15 feet wide. If there are a lot of corners and things to cut out and around then you will pay for that waste. I ended up with several seams (which are invisible) because the owner when measuring and determining the estimate used a more economical method in terms of material required, but it meant a little more work for the installers and saved me money. The installers themselves were punctual and efficient. Installing carpet is hard work. As mentioned there were a couple more seams with my installation but they were handled well and wouldn't be noticed even if they were pointed out. The carpet was a low level Mohawk product, but so far I have less than no complaints. It looks great and definitely will add value to my condo. I would not hesitate to use PriceCo for any future flooring needs."

"They worked extremely hard and did a beautiful job! They were professional and helpful throughout and the carpet which was quite soiled from a prior renter, came out perfectly. I will definitely use them again. Thank you!"

"Jeff Hake, the owner/operator of Universal Carpet Care, runs his business like all businesses should be run: mean what you say, do things right the first time and deliver quality, timely service. Jeff is the quintessential professional. He LISTENS to what the customer wants, communicates well, does not say he can do things that he can't (e.g., remove a hopeless stain), asks a very reasonable price for the service he provides and gets the job completed within the time frame he says it will be done. His work is excellent and he is extremely easy to deal with. I recommend Universal Carpet Care without reservation. <br />"

"We met Randy at the Crofton showroom. He quickly found that we had found them on Angie's list and were making our first ever carpet purchase. He gave us what he called "Carpet 101" so that we had the knowledge to make an intelligent carpet purchase. Over the next 3-4 days, we decided on a great carpet that fit our budget. Randy worked hard to help us find the right carpet for our home and gave us a great price. Workers showed up on time the morning of install and were done by early afternoon. We've had the carpet now for 3 weeks and are very happy with the purchase."

"Our carpet was a HORROR STORY. I'm not going to describe it, but one so-called "extreme carpet cleaning" company estimated, believe it or not, over $1200 to clean two rooms...and declined to even do the work at that price. The guy totally shamed me. Tim from Shamrock Carpeting came in and said, oh, yes, we should be able to help. He charged me a fraction of what the other company had estimated...and he got out a huge amount of the stains and odors. I just had him back for a repeat and it looks even better this time. He's so nice, he's so fast, he's so reasonable. I can't thank him enough. Don't even shop around. Just call Tim. You can't find a better cleaning at a better price. He owns that space!"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Riva, 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.
