"The entire process was flawless! Got an appointment the first time I called. Follow up email confirmed my appointment and provided detailed instructions on how to prepare. Steve was our Technician. He's been with the company for 20 years and definitely knew what he was doing. Was right on time and performed an excellent job! We'll definitely us them again!"

"They stained my oriental rug and claimed it was abrash. Their cleaning process also stretched and added lots of wear to my antique rug. My oriental rug had handprints and stains after it was picked up. They acted like they were doing me a favor re cleaning it and delivering it to me. After inspection of the rug washed the second time, stains were present and the delivery guys couldn’t explain what it was. They said the owner would come out which he never did. Now I have rugs that are ruined. I think this company is unethical. It is hard to imagine they have so many positive reviews based on the way this case was handled."

"Cox did a fantastic job on my old hardwood floors (sanding and refinishing). Need to update my house, and dreaded getting started. This was the first step. Floors had been carpeted for 40+ years, and now look brand new. Their suggestions and guidance really helped. This experience and results motivates me to keep working on getting the rest of the house done. Once I tear out the kitchen, I will need new flooring in the kitchen and family room. Expecting to talk with Cox for some additional floor help. Highly recommend them."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Shelbyville, IN

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.
