"Dennis and Ada and their entire team at NJ Water and Mold are A+++ Professionals. We suffered a catastrophic water heater failure that resulted in significant damage to our home. Stressed, I called Dennis. He calmly walked me through the remediation and repair process and advised me that he could send his team to our home to begin work within the hour. Dennis is a man of his word! His team came to our house promptly and they worked diligently to mitigate the damages. Dennis and his team were exceptional. Dennis advised me what his team would do to remediate and repair our home, and Dennis' team did exactly what he said they would do--and they did it in a timely, courteous and highly professional manner. Additionally, Dennis worked directly with our insurance company. He promptly documented all the work performed, and prepared a comprehensive estimate of the needed repairs. We are so very grateful to Dennis and Ada and to their team! Overall, they were extremely courteous, highly professional, and they did a masterful job! If you ever suffer a water damage event, call Dennis and Ada at NJ Water and Mold. They are truly exceptional!"

"I brought a carpet from them and after a few months I noticed mold growing under the carpet. I hired a Mold specialist who did a entire report about the mold and that it didn't come from my home but rather from there warehouse. I contacted them and each one including the owner was nasty to me. She is too busy going back and forth to Florida. Go elsewhere..."

"I'm so grateful to have found The Longest Yard for a floor install. We needed to list a deceased relative's house and have a new floor installed in the kitchen before the listing went live. Jeanette and Robert went out of their way to accommodate us on extremely short notice. They are a pleasure to deal with and offer competitive pricing on quality flooring. The install went smoothly, and the floor looks beautiful. If only my husband's aunt could've lived to enjoy such a beautiful, new floor. The Longest Yard has my warmest and highest recommendation."

"Art and Shawn were both thorough and methodical, from the deconstruction of the existing cabinetry to the building of shelves to fit a custom space, to installation of floor tiles, the work was careful and top notch. There were some unexpected hitches (one involving rehanging a door) but they handled those well. They also took the time to find a close as possible a match to our existing ceiling molding (which is no longer made as it is from 25 plus years ago) and reused as much of the existing lumber as possible. Terrific all around job. Very happy with the result."

"Incredible service! My rugs had years of wear and pet stains, and I was honestly skeptical they could be restored. But this team worked wonders! The rugs came back looking brighter, softer, and completely odor-free. Everyone I interacted with was professional, respectful, and helpful. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for dependable, high-quality rug cleaning."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in South Orange, NJ

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.
