"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."

"I got several bids and Robert gave the best price, did a quality/timely install and helped me find a painter.  Carpet looks awesome and I'm sure the house will sell fast. <br />"

"The owner performed the work himself. He arrived on time and performed all tasks really well. He worked with me on the rooms to be cleaned, reducing the costs substantially by only charging me partially for rooms that didn't require cleaning in areas under the furniture, which didn't need to be moved because the carpet was only a few months old. After I had gotten the new carpeting, I had experienced a small flood on part of the carpet, so only the parts of the carpet that needed to be cleaned, such as those near the new carpet, had to be cleaned.  <br /> The carpet looked like new when he was done. He also worked quickly, plus used all "green" solutions, so there weren't fumes left in the air upon completion of the job. <br />"

"This company is awesome! We had wood, tile and carpet floors installed in our house and they came out fantastic! The wood floor installers were artisans and you could see their skill and knowledge in the way the floors were installed. They took pride in their work and it shows. The tile floors turned out perfect too. The tile was perfectly cut for some of those odd corners and the skill involved shows. Just like the wood floor installers, the tile floor installer took pride in his work. As for the carpet, that was another awesome job. They installed carpet on two staircases and the family room. The install is flawless. We are amazed at the incredible work that was done from Peoples Signature Flooring. They have the best installers and I doubt anyone can do better than these people do. From beginning to end, Robert Peoples helped us with making decisions on selections for wood, tile, and carpet. His expertise combined with the talent and knowledge of his installers make this one incredible company. And it was a pleasure working with Robert, Julie, and all the installers. In a nutshell, I highly recommend this company – their work is unsurpassed."

"We have renovated our house over the last several years, and Hardwood Flooring Services was one of the best companies that we used. My experience with HFS was very positive from start to finish. I was immediately impressed when I entered the store. Andrea was welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. After taking several samples home to compare, I made an appointment for Bob to come out and measure. He was on time and efficient. I mentioned to him that we seemed to have a moisture problem under one of our existing floors, and he recommended a particular method of installation to try to avoid this problem in the future. I had gotten an estimate from another company, and while I was impressed with them and received a similar estimate, I chose HFS mainly because I felt that Bob and his crew had the expertise to do our job well. The team that came to our house was absolutely fanstastic. Ruben (Andrea's husband) and the other men were probably the hardest working people who have ever been in our house. They arrived early and stayed as late as needed over a period of several days to ensure completion by the deadline. Bob came by at least once or twice a day to check on the progress of the installation and to see if I had any questions or concerns. There are a few things that really make this company stand out. (1) After they laid some of the wood, I was not happy with the number and concentration of black streaks in some of the planks. Bob and Ruben were extremely accomodating about my concerns and ordered replacement wood at no extra cost to me (and probably at cost to themselves). (2) When my husband bumped into an antique chair that had been moved and was resting at an odd angle while the floors were being installed, a leg on the chair broke. Bob picked up the chair and delivered it back to us fully repaired the next day. (3) All of the people involved with HFS care tremendously about their work and want to please in every way. No detail was too small and no request was refused. For example, after the job was completed, I noticed some doors that were scraping the floor after being rehung. Bob and another man came back right away to fix the problems. In sum, we were extremely satisfied with HFS and would enthusiastically recommend them to others. <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.
