"Shawn was fantastic from start to finish. He responded promptly to my request for an estimate. He is extremely knowledgeable and spent time walking me through my options and explaining the pros and cons of those choices. On install day he and his crew arrived on time, worked extremely hard and kept an extremely clean work environment. I would highly recommend Riley's Carpet Services"

"The sales staff and owner were most accommodating and competitive in their pricing and in making suggestions as to the color and kind of carpeting that would best serve our purposes.  It was and easy meeting and V.C. was very accommodating in setting and then re-doing the install dates.  The two installers - Tom and Ron - were also accommodating in moving furniture, chairs, dressers, etc., around after we had emptied as much as we could (filling up our garage in the process!).  They were very professional, polite, easy to work with, and accommodating to our needs, especially in replacing the furniture into different positions in a few cases.  They checked with us as needed and were very efficient and polite, finishing in less than 2 days. <br>"

"We have been very pleased with everything involved in having our rugs cleaned and repaired by Main Street Oriental Rugs.  Mojan <br /> Bagha was very knowledgeable about his craft, and was very pleasant to deal with.  He seems to care a great deal about the rugs he deals with, and took personal affront that a hand-crafted Persian runner had been crudely cut in half by a relative years ago.  We were advised that two other runners were machine-made and not worth the cleaning fee.  Our rugs were restored to colors we did not know that they had, and they look beautiful.  Ratty looking fringe was made to look much better even though we decided that we could not afford to have them appropriately repaired.  The pick-up and delivery were exactly as he had said, and each time he carefully re-positioned the room furniture.   The price was well worth it.  The office was easy to communicate with, and we highly recommend them. <br />"

"We met Randy at the Crofton showroom. He quickly found that we had found them on Angie's list and were making our first ever carpet purchase. He gave us what he called "Carpet 101" so that we had the knowledge to make an intelligent carpet purchase. Over the next 3-4 days, we decided on a great carpet that fit our budget. Randy worked hard to help us find the right carpet for our home and gave us a great price. Workers showed up on time the morning of install and were done by early afternoon. We've had the carpet now for 3 weeks and are very happy with the purchase."

"Adan and Hugo, the technicians, arrived promptly at noon (my designated window was noon to 3 p.m.). Both of them have been here before but we walked through the house so that I could show them some areas that might need special attention. They started their work promptly and finished in an hour and a half. Adan and Hugo were very courteous and professional, as always. After they finished, Adan told me about some areas where there are more permanent stains, some discoloration on the stairs, and some wear on the downstairs carpet, all of which I appreciated. He recommended cleaning the rugs at least once a year so that traffic patterns and stains don't set in. Adan reminded me that the carpets can be a little slippery until they start to dry out and to let them dry at least 6-8 hours before setting furniture on them. It's easy to schedule an appointment with the company through Lois who is also very courteous and professional. Normandy has cleaned my carpets twice and also did an excellent job on an emergency clean when we spilled hot coffee on the very light wool rug in the master bedroom. They have also cleaned three silk upholstered living room chairs (which Adan also recalled doing) and did a great job. I would highly recommend them as an excellent, professional, and reasonably priced service."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Taneytown, MD

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.
