"We worked with Shawn at Carpet Carousel to replace all the carpeting on our second floor. We told Shawn that, with young kids, we needed a very durable carpet that also looked nice. He showed us a few options and explained the pros/cons of each without trying to upsell us or give us something we didn't need. Once we decided to purchase and scheduled installation, the team of installers were fabulous. Not only did they have to work around other contractors (we were at the end of ice dam repairs), but they were clean and courteous as well. The finished carpets look awesome and we couldn't be happier. They even left us several large remnants so that we can have them cut/bound into area rugs or bathmats if desired. Overall, we couldn't be happier with Carpet Carousel and will definitely go back for additional rug and carpet needs <br />"

"Melrose Oriental Rug did a fantastic job cleaning, and they were transparent and reasonable with the price and process. They did especially impressive work with a beautiful carpet from the 1930s that mice had decided to make a home in. You'd never know they were there. Since we were new to carpet ownership, they were very kind about advising us in terms of care and binding up some loose edging and fringe. Will definitely go back to them when it's time to clean again, or if we buy a new one."

"We worked with Creative Carpet to to help us install a runner on our stairs -- and we had a great experience. When we bought our house, we refinished the hardwood floors, which were beautiful, and also very slippery on the stairs. We didn't want our daughter and dog to slip, so we went to Creative Carpet. They gave us a great price on the carpet we used, did the project beautifully and efficiently, and they were very responsive to all of our questions along the way. I would absolutely recommend them."

"Nicky gave us a sale price on our carpet even though the sale hadn't started yet. He also gave us some good advice and we ended up going with a Berber carpet for our busy living room that's been exactly the right choice for us. The crew who showed up to install the carpet was on time, quick, and professional.  <br /> I called Nicky again the day before a big snowstorm. Someone had suggested carpet tubes as a way to keep a toddler busy, and Nicky wasn't at all fazed when I asked if I could have one. He sent over two tubes and even threw in some carpet squares (one of which is 3' x 8' and perfect for my hallway). My son was thrilled to roll his balls and trains down the carpet tubes, and I was thrilled that it kept him entertained when we were snowed in. <br />"

"I have used this company twice to do my carpets and was amazed at how they can get the carpets so clean. I had stains from 5 plus years ago that are now gone. Carpet is 20 years old and looks amazing. Craig did my carpets this time on 12-4-17 and did an awesome job. Very friendly and personable. For the price paid its definitely worth the money. Will use again and try a different service they offer. Thanks again for making my home clean in time for the holidays."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Shrewsbury, MA

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.
