"Magic Carpet was called in after a faulty construction project damaged 25' of our roof line resulting in water damage to the insulation and wall board in my ceiling and walls. It was literally raining into my home on Christmas morning! The company was fast, knowledgeable and very professional. All wet insulation and materials were removed and surrounding areas tested for moisture issues. Everything was then professionally dried out with mold remediation procedures performed. Dan was very through and worked through the stress and mess; we have every confidence in their work. We highly recommend this company for disaster restoration as well as other services."

"Fabulous! The showroom service is excellent - lots of options to choose from. I was able to take good-sized samples home to see how they looked in my kitchen. The installation was amazing! I had purchased an undermount sink and was a bit worried how the corners would match up. It is perfect. The fit and finish are superb and the cost was about the same as a big box store. Totally satisfied with my experience! <br />"

"The order was seemless. They didn't try to selI me any thing I didn't want, up sell me or make me feel I should buy the more expensive padding or I'd be sorry. I really appreciated that. I was able to get a 18 month zero interest deal with my lowes card. <br /> The measure apointment went well, the contractor who came out was very friendly and professional. <br /> I opted to remove my carpet myself to save the removal and disposal fee. It only cost me $20 to throw away at my transfer station as apposed to $175 for them to do it. <br /> When the carpet came in I was promptly contacted by the installers, they made an appointment that was convenient for me.On the day of the installation, since the contractors have to pick the carpeting up at lowes that morning, install couldn't start before lowes opened. However I was able to go to work and make arrangements where they called me once I was on the way, and I met them there. The installation guys were very professional and friendly, I worked from home while they did the installation. It was completed by noon. It looked great and they took care to make sure I examined every thing and was happy with it. <br /> A month later i'm very happy with the carpet's durability and quality. <br /> I gave them a B for over all for 1 reason which couldn't be helped. I ended up with a fair amount of extra carpet, which I had to pay for. I told the measure guy that in my long walk in closet I'd be happy to have multiple seams, if it meant keeping down the square footage, he said he'd do what he could. The 20 year old carpet I pulled out had 4 seams in the closet. They were concerned with doing it right and doing a professional job, even in the closet! Hence I ended up with extra square footage and no seams. This speaks well of the installation company and lowes.SO its hard to fault them for doing it the correct way! How ever I would have been happy to sign any kind of waver for my closet to save me $!80 bucks. In un used carpeting. The sales rep at lowes even tried to call the carpet company to see if they would buy the remnants back but they were in 4 pieces and not one big piece. Lowes tried to help out but its just how it came together. <br /> I'm very happy with the Lowes flooring experience and would be happy to recommend them and have done so to my friends and co-workers!"

"Initially, I was happy with the job. The problems came after it was done. When they finished the bathroom the installers were off to another job and I was left to do the finale washing off of the grout residue. I was fine with that. It was easy enough to do. When the tile was cleaned I noticed the cut in the Carrera curb on the shower stall did not line up exactly where the two ends meet. One side was a little short. It had been filled in with grout. Unfortunately, the grout didn't stay. Also, some material used on the shower walls had gotten on the bathroom ceiling. (The bathroom ceiling had already been primed and painted.) When I tried to paint over it the paint just bubbled. I called Paul and his only suggestion was to paint over it which I had already tried. I told him this. I ended up having to mud the ceiling, sand, and then paint it again. No follow up to see if I was able to take care of it. Within months some of the grout in the shower floor around the drain started cracking and coming up. Given the lack of interest in helping resolve the ceiling issue I didn't bother contacting Port City again."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Saco, ME

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.
