"The installer did such a great job on my floors! The carpet and the tile look wonderful, and the transitions between them are perfect. The owner was easy to work with and get a hold of, and made everything easy and convenient for me. It is a local business, so it was much more personable and the price was great- beat all of the other quotes I got. Would definitely recommend and will contact them again when I need the bedrooms replaced :)"

"The owner of this store was wonderful to work with.  I went to the Floor Store, Inc. after a disasterous encounter with Kelleher Carpeting in Dunmore.  After postponing for almost a month - as outdoor installation weather diminished - and dropped them and wen the the Floor Store because it was so close to me.  It is a very small business and the owner was VERY pleased to see me (a customer) - the way businesses should be.  We picked out the carpet & he was on the phone ordering it as I left.  When it came in, we ended up having to wait a little more because of weather, but on Friday the 21, it warmed up just enough to get it done!  Two men showed up and had it done in no time!  It looks fabulous.  Between the Floor Store and Vitucci's Lawn Care my house will look great all winter!"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Scranton, 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.
