For 4 family generations, the name Molyneaux has been synonymous with excellence and superior customer service throughout the Pittsburgh area. Formerly just a flooring company, we have now expanded into Custom Cabinet Restyling™, countertops, and interior painting. We are a local, family-owned business with a proven track record of customer satisfaction. Stop by one of our 8 showroom locations or give us a call to learn how we can bring beauty and joy from floor to ceiling!

"I started this job because I had used Molyneaux before with terrific results. Malik Vincent was my Molyneaux consultant this time. He was a great help and I felt he exceeded my expectations. He helped me understand my choices and look pass the inability of Vangura’s (counter) customer service. Unfortunately, Molyneaux’s customer service is not mirrored in their partner Vangura (Kitchen refresh) The floor installation and later a small adjustment was taken care of and my floors look fantastic. Molyneaux gives you quality products, expect to pay a little more but it is worth it for the service and installation. As far as the counter, the Vangura initial measuring/consultation made me uncomfortable and the cost seemed steep. Product is beautiful but there was some miscommunication of the size of the backsplash which caused a lot of problems both financially and time for me later after installation. I even had to contact Vangura about a question by phone after installation and was dismissed. The installers were fantastic, worked very hard to fit my counter and it has made a huge difference. Vangura “might” have the best counters ever, but the costumer service needs to reflect the product. Review for Molyneaux = A. Vangura = D"

"I was in desperate need of repairing my kitchen and powder room hardwood floors. A friend suggested I contact Molyneaux in Cranberry Twp., PA. The sales rep, Megan Baird, was so friendly and professional, as well as very knowledgeable about their products and services. She brought several samples to my home, and together we selected a color that would match my kitchen cabinets perfectly. Within two weeks, my order arrived and was installed. The installers were very professional, wore masks; and they removed their shoes to enter my home. I am more than thrilled with the job they performed. They had both of my rooms completely done within three hours. They even cleaned up before they left. I purchased a wide-plank, laminate, floating floor. It has made my kitchen and powder room look absolutely beautiful. Megan also followed up immediately after the job was completed to ensure that I was 100% satisfied with their work. I would HIGHLY recommend MOLYNEAUX if you are considering replacing your flooring of any type!"

"Our Molyneaux Design Consultant, Steve Porter (cell 412-860-1928), visited our home in early July using all Covid-19 safety protocols. He brought several “books” of carpet samples for us to review and we did so in the actual room where the carpet was to be installed. Steve was knowledgeable, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. We selected a carpet, it was ordered by Molyneaux, and it was installed along with new padding in August. Molyneaux’s installers were professional and efficient both in moving furniture and installing the padding and carpeting. They removed the old padding and carpeting completely and cleaned up any leftover debris. The entire experience with Molyneaux and Steve Porter was exceptional."

"It was a pleasure having Dillon Carpet and Flooring redo all of our flooring and carpeting – starting with our first conversations with Kathy at the store on Mt. Royal Boulevard, to bidding farewell to Jim and his son Patrick at the completion of the installation project. We first visited with Kathy in mid-September 2019. We shared our criteria regarding the project, and she was very helpful in choosing product, from several perspectives – appearance, quality, maintenance, and ultimately cost. Kathy provided very good suggestions for carpet options, and helped us decide on vinyl plank for the hard flooring choice. She was also instrumental in getting us close on color for both products. After a couple of visits to the store, we were ready to have Jim come to the house for measurements and to prepare a bid, given our tentative choice of products (for carpeting and hard flooring). He was also very agreeable to a few additional requirements that we had for the project, including reduction of floor squeaks, add extensions (toes) to the basement steps (which were also newly carpeted), and change the master bath from carpeted to hard surface. Jim’s bid arrived 4 days later, and the bid was competitive. After due consideration, we decided to book our project with Dillon Carpet and Flooring in early October 2019. Jim and Patrick arrived promptly on November 12, 2019 to start the project, and it was completed on November 20. In all, it took 8 days to re-floor approximately 2400 square feet of floor surface. At the end of each day, Jim would specify the areas where he would be working so that we could clear out closets, small items, etc. After that, he and Patrick moved all furniture items, and returned them to their original locations after installing the hard flooring or carpet. Also, 3 toilet removals and resets were included. They always performed a thorough end-of-day clean-up. They were totally professional from start to finish. An example of thoughtful "value added" customer service from Dillon – on trash night, Patrick placed a huge amount of the cut and tied old carpet and padding neatly at our curbside for haul-away. But the best part of doing business with Dillon was enjoying the outcome. The overall appearance of the new floor coverings was, as hoped - outstanding. But to go the next step, and see their attention to detail is where you can really appreciate the value that Dillon brings to a project. To name a few things: the layout of the vinyl plank is artistic; Jim went the extra mile to match our base board wood stain for trimming the vinyl plank; the transitions from hard flooring to carpet are first class; and regarding the carpet, the seams are seamless, and stretches and tucks are precise. We could go on, but the installation substantially exceeded expectation. Jim and Patrick are way more than flooring installers, they are craftsmen! We are 100% satisfied, and without hesitation highly recommend Dillon Carpet and Flooring. One additional item. When the project was completed, Jim made it very clear, that if we needed any follow-up work done, to simply contact the office to schedule a return visit at no cost. As it turned out, a couple cosmetic corrections were needed, and true to his word Jim and Patrick came back promptly, and performed the fixes – quickly, efficiently, and with the same attention to detail. Simply awesome!"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Sarver, PA

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.
