"Tony with Lone Star Carpets provided us with excellent service from beginning to end. Our flooring project was completed quickly and professionally. Tony was always quick to respond to our questions and concerns and the final installation was flawless. This wasn't a big project but you wouldn't have guessed that based on their attentiveness to our needs. These guys really know their stuff."

"Hired to clean carpet in main living room, main hallway and stairs; all high traffic areas. Great job. Others I've hired to clean, I couldn't see a difference, and with Heaven's Best, there was definitely an improvement. Reasonable cost."

"From initially walking in their storefront to "check them out" based on investigating reviews on Angie's List to the final wave good-bye, we were consistently impressed by their knowledge of wood flooring, attention to detail, professionalism, and the results. Our floors look amazing, the installation was expertly done, they cleaned up consistently, acted professionally yet friendly at every step.  We had a repair that needed done on another wood floor that they performed expertly as well.   <br /> I cannot say enough about this company.   I only wish we had found them sooner so that they could have done our whole house. We also appreciate using a local, family owned and run business. <br />"

"We had been installing wood flooring in the house when one of us started having back issues. I began trying to find a company that would install the product we had already purchased. Not many places will. I came across JJ Flooring and gave them a call. I spoke with Beto. He came out on a Sat. to measure the house, make sure we had all the supplies needed and give me an estimate. We decided to use their services. The day before they were supposed to start we had a schedule issue. They worked around our schedule. Beto and the crew he sent to do the work were very courteous and professional. They kept the house very clean while they worked. Thank you JJ Flooring!"

"Very responsive and willing to work with me on the price of materials.  Labor costs were same/competitive with similar companies.  Installation was a breeze; staff is very professional.  Not a cheap project, but exactly what we wanted and CDC gave the best bid around - by far. <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in San Marcos, TX

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.
