"We checked out multiple flooring vendors and got quotes from five of them. While they were generally all in the same 'ballpark' we felt more secure in choosing Flooring Surfaces because of several personal reviews we heard about their workmanship. Flooring Surfaces' Lynn Appleby's assistance was outstanding; she answered all our questions, taught us what we needed to know about hardwood flooring, followed up with cost estimate changes, and provided us multiple large samples to take home which helped in the selection of the color we ultimately chose (Bruce Butterscotch). The materials were ordered and came in on schedule. They were delivered in good condition and unloaded on a Friday and the installers (Ryan Kumler) arrived promptly at 8:00 AM on Monday to start. Ryan, his helper, and Ryan's son removed the existing carpet, baseboards (preserving the closet pieces we were not replacing), and began installing the flooring. My wife and I were quite amazed at how fast Ryan and his crew worked. Arriving daily at 8:00 AM they readily moved those pieces of furniture and appliances that we were prepared to move by ourselves. I measured and cut the new baseboards and Ryan installed them along with the saved closet pieces. I had set aside an area in the garage for their equipment, turned the stereo on and they happily worked the week away, taking two short breaks, and a short lunch daily. They generally worked until 4:30 PM. While moving the refrigerator several new flooring pieces were marred during the process of putting 'sliders' under the refrigerator's wheels (my bad!) and Ryan ordered more pieces (no charge to us) and came back the following week and replaced those boards which matched up perfectly. The installation of the bathroom tiles was, well, nothing to it. They scarified the existing vinyl and placed the new on top and grouted them in - easy breezy. Everything looks great, all the new trim was installed, they cleaned up, and the project was done. We have one bedroom (where we stored everything) we did not have done and will have Flooring Surfaces do that room in the near future. <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Rossville, 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.
