"Jorge did a great job tackling my carpet installation project. He was very prompt to get back to me up front, provided a reasonable estimate for the job, and then showed up on time! His work was very well done and the finished product was perfect. I'd hire him again without hesitation."

"In both cases the installation went smoothly and was high quality.  Even better was their personal service when we bought the carpet and flooring from them. We had tons of questions but they patiently worked with us over several months to help us figure out exactly what we needed. They were always very friendly and pleasant.  Plus, they've been in business a long time and are deeply knowledgeable about flooring. <br />"

"I cannot say enough good things about Macadam. They worked with us to put vinyl plank down over some deteriorating slate tile in one room and replace the carpet throughout our townhome (lots of stairs). Rick was fantastic working with me upfront to choose the best products within my budget. Then the install teams were just amazing. My husband and I were initially planning to install the vinyl ourselves, but I am SO GLAD we had them do it instead. What would probably have taken us multiple weekends, buying new tools, etc., took these guys a total of 4 hours. The cost was super affordable and included moving all the heavy furniture in and out of the room. The result is fantastic. I love it so much. Easy to clean, much more comfortable than tile to walk on, and lots of compliments! Where they went above and beyond was during the carpet install. Our home had severe water intrusion issues a few years back, which we thought had a previous contractor had fully repaired. When the carpet install team ripped up the carpet, they found multiple places with black mold or dry rot. The install team stopped what they were doing, had my husband and I take a look, and provided exceptional support talking through the options of what to do. We ended up having them stop the install and having our previous contractor come out and fix the areas. As soon as the water intrusion contractor completed the repair, the team at Macadam went out of their way to get a team back in to do the carpet install asap. I couldn’t believe how communicative, professional, and kind both install teams were throughout the process. Thank you, Macadam Flooring. We love our new floors!"

"I was very pleased.  After measuring my carpet their estimate went up.  I was about to cancel and they spoke right up and said they would honor their over the phone quote.  They got a couple of spots out that other companies couldn't. <br /> Very pleased!!! <br />"

"It took about a week. They demolished existing flooring. Then they made sure all the rooms were at same level. Then oak flooring was delivered to acclimate to the heated space. The installers did a great job installing the floor. Then the new floor was sanded and a Swedish finish was applied to the new floor. All occupants including pets must find other accommodations during the finishing process. The smell is overpowering. When complete, baseboards were applied. This improved the appearance of the house 10 fold. My only issue was baseboard installation. The baseboards were ordered too short for the job and were spliced creating a lot of seams."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Salem, OR

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.
