"Excellent, Mike is a true professional. He was on the pricier side, but the quality of his work is top notch. He even had some great suggestions on how we should floor certain rooms. Very pleased with his work and the results."

"Carlos at Floor Ever helped me find a creative way to solve the problem of installing a runner on a twisting staircase. The usual way to carpet stairs with turns is to use wall-to-wall carpet so you have enough width to cover the large triangular treads (sometimes called pie steps). I looked at hundreds (possibly thousands) of wall-to-wall designs and didn't find anything I really liked -- the interesting designs are in area rugs and runners. With a runner, the problem comes on the riser between two triangular steps: because of the geometry, the runner on the upper tread, though perfectly centered, is rarely going to line up with the runner on the lower tread (also perfectly centered). If you want a formal, traditional look, you have to start with a larger rug and cut it down to make it line up properly. But if you're willing to do something funky and nonstandard, you can cut a piece of carpet for the riser that isn't a rectangle. That's what Carlos did, as you can see in the photo: he cut riser pieces that were angled on the sides so they matched the widths of the runner on the top and the runner on the bottom, which made for some sharp angles. I asked him to cut the riser pieces so the stripes on the rug run diagonally, creating a zigzag effect. I figured that would look more intentional -- and definitely more fun -- than running the stripes vertically or horizontally on the risers. I love the results and I'm grateful to Carlos for helping me solve my twisty stair problem and avoid a boring rug. Carlos had to take the 3 riser pieces away to have their edges bound, so the project couldn't be completed in a day, but the total time he spent installing was less than 6 hours. He arrived on time, communicated well, cleaned up after himself, and charged a fair price. I would definitely hire Carlos / Floor Ever again."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Salem, NH

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.
