"From the moment we entered the store we were recognized and the sales man gave us lots of options and samples to take home. I really liked that the price quoted included items that were add-on expenses at other stores. I felt like I had a much better understanding of what we were getting for the money we had to spend. We did not end up having the work completed due to an unexpected household emergency that necessitated redirecting the funds we had for the carpet. i was extremely disappointed. When we are ready to move forward, we will not hesitate in returning to Lonnie's Carpet Max. <br />"

"My out of town elderly parents were putting their home an the market in Rockford, and I needed to find a trusted reliable handyman to help them with odds and ends of getting a house ready to sell.  Brian was an absolute dream to work with!  Repsctful, responsive, courteous to both myself and my parents -- He was so thoughtful of the work they needed.  He ran the errands to Home depot to get supplies or ordered them where needed.  He was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and efficient.  Mom and Dad were so impressed they have called him several times sine to assist with small jobs around the house. <br /> I most strongly recommend Brian Angel!!!  He is a lost breed and an absolute gem! <br />"

"I highly recommend Rich. During our initial meeting, we discussed our flooring project and my expectations. Within two days, Rich provided a quote for the job and we set up an installation date that was convenient for me and my family. The new floor was installed professionally and efficiently. Rich also took the time to make sure that the closet doors were hung correctly and installed a doorway threshold that looked better than the threshold which I provided for the job. I could not have been more pleased with his work. Two days after the floor was installed, Rich called to make sure we were satisfied with the work he had done. It is Rich?s attention to the little details that make him an excellent service worker. He also is a kind and considerate person and a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to contact him for future projects in my home. He is also an excellent resource person for recommendations on other service worker projects in the home."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Rock-city, IL

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.
