"The service person arrived on time and ready to work.  Did a great job, was very detail-oriented and thorough.  He was even able to remove a stain that had been in the carpet for more than three years, a stain others weren't able to get out!  He was very pleasant and answered all my questions.  He did a great job and I will use the service again.  Another plus, his equipment was a lot less noisy as other carpet cleaning services. <br />"

"The sales call was very professionally handled.  Each room designated for carpeting was measured and questions posed as to how I wanted to have specific areas handles.  When installers arrived, they were very polite and quickly got to work.  They worked tirelessly all day moving heavy furniture and installing both the pad and carpeting.  They carefully moved furniture back as the rooms were finished.  The installers were quite experienced and worked efficiently and quickly.  I couldn't have been more pleased. <br />"

"They did a terrific job!.  They came and measured the whole house (for future flooring purchases) they were on time, courteous and very pofessional.  The carpet came in early, they called to schedule installaiton and three days later I had new carpet in that bedroom.  The carpet quality is good and they removed the old carpet and pad.  I am now using them to replace the floors in my three bathrooms!!! <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Salida, CA

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.
