"I had the carpets cleaned in a 3 story condo in preparation for showing it for sale.  Expert Carpet Care was excellent from start to finish.  Their office staff is friendly and efficient,  and the estimator was both friendly and knowledgeable.  Although there was only one technician, he expertly handled the hoses and equipment up multiple floors.  He worked hard, was very fast and did a great job.  In addition he was very polite and personable.  <br /> Overall, great company - highly recommend! <br />"

"The salesman met us in our home on a Sunday within a week of our initial call. He was very professional and showed us a range of options at different price points. However, Costco does not sell "cheaper" carpet, so even the least expensive options were rather "high-end." We got a good deal on a very nice Shaw berber carpet with Stainmaster protection and a very soft upgraded pad, which makes it very comfortable to walk on barefoot. We were told it would be installed in less than 1 week, but it was actually about 2 weeks before installation. A couple calls to Costco's central number were required to follow-up on the situation before we received a return call from the installer. On the day of installation, they arrived earlier than the scheduled time and finished ahead of schedule. They do move furniture, but with some major caveats. We had to hire a piano mover to move our grand piano out of the way -- the installers wouldn't touch that. They also will not move any electronics, and they ask that drawers be removed from furniture (or emptied out if the drawers can't be removed). This wound up being very time-consuming for us. But overall we are very satisfied with the results -- a huge upgrade!"

"I have used New York Carpets several times over the past several years. First when I had my old house they replaced a lot of carpet over the years and then when moving into my new house they installed bedroom carpet before this experienced. <br /> Obviously I keep returning for one reason only. They have very good prices, and do very good work.  <br />  They were prompt when they were scheduled to start work, removed the old carpet, and then installed the new carpet. The living room/dining room is one large room and there must be several seams to to get it completely covered. There work is so professional that you can't see the seams, which were also done as much as possible on the sides. When they did the measurements, they took time to fit the carpet with maximum coverage and minimal waste, reducing the cost further. When they were done, there was so little waste that I wasn't work saving for anything other than a small piece in the event there is a need to repair the carpet in the future. <br /> I would recommend them unequivocally and will use them in the future. <br /> They also have some other tile and simulation wood material. I purchased some of that for my former house as well as carpeting, and again the prices were quite good and work installing it was very professional. <br />"

"John and the staff at Alden's Carpet and Drapes are absolutely the best.  They're friendly, knowledgeable and work to your schedule.   We installed new carpet in two large master bedrooms, a hallway, landing and stairs.  The installation crew arrived at 7:30 AM, moved all the furniture, including an upright piano, had the old carpet and padding removed and new padding and carpet installed and the furniture back in place before 11:00 AM.  These guys are the greatest."

"I had another company install my hardwood floors, but decided I would never use their services again.? When it was time to do the stairs, I restarted my search for someone to install the stairs.? When I contacted Carpet Spectrum, they quickly identified they could find boxes of wood to match what I previously had installed and scoped out the project.? Although I delayed getting the project done, when I called them, they were very responsive to confirm they could get product, price and timing for installation.? They installers (whom were their hardwood specialists) were excellent!? I noticed a few touch up items - which they gladly came and completed."

"Carpet purchase and installation always went well and without a hitch. When I was interested in flooring, I did not get that great education, nor did I get what I thought was a good price. I am ready to redo the kitchen and dining room floor . I walked in to look at what they had in the showroom. All the helpers were in the office and never welcomed me, nor did they attempt to help me in any way. I decided to walk out. If they don't want to wait on their customers, I can go elsewhere...and I did."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Signal Hill, CA

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.
