"Timely <br /> prompt <br /> the salesman, George was a big help <br /> But, we are living out of town, and I had family ensure all was well. When done, the installers left pieces of carpet and 'strings' of carpet all over. I had to pay to have someone go in and clean up. <br /> When I called, the answer was, "the installers don't carry a vacuum with them". <br /> Maybe they should! <br />"

"Our purple carpet had about 100 urine stains from previous dogs and our own. The specialist, Robert, matched to color and treated every spot. If we didn't know where they were, we'd never know they spots had been there. Perfect job!"

"So, I am disappointed that Mr. Van Horn's way of handling customer service problems is to stop communicating. I never complain about bad meals in restaurants, or minor problems, life has bumps in the road. But when I pay thousands of dollars for a carpet and the person is too busy to make it right, well, that's not how I run my business, and I don't think it's a good policy."

".Carpet rippled and had large pockets where it was not stretched. It has large ripple lines of gathered carpet across the room. Installer complained that his knees had arthritis and he could not effectively kick the stretcher in place with his knees. Yes he was using his knees wearing a metal device of some kind. They would knock the carpet against the wall as they crawled along the baseboard.. As a result the un-stretched carpet rippled all over the room. We actually trip on it! Stains in the carpet stay in and cannot be resolved. The fabric is cheap and got nubby within a year. The stains popped up and stayed showing all dirt tracked in on a royal and also a blue carpet. Had to replace the beige carpet in 3 years. In contrast the stainmaster cabin craft put into bedrooms by a local store lasted ten years and did not even need replacing when we took it out. it looked new and the dirt came  out. It was sstain free when we took it out to install wood. <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Sandusky, OH

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.
