"Replacement of 11x12' carpeting. Ed picked up the materials from Home Depot, then removed/hauled away old carpet and padding, and installed new of both. He also re-stretched an area in the hallway that had become loose from repeated shampooing (dog accidents). He swept after removal and vacuumed after installation, and also took the carpet remnant down to the basement for me. I hired him for this after he did a good job with another carpet's repair (burn holes), and intend to use him again in the coming weeks to remove/replace carpet in another room. (Couldn't do them both at the same time -- too much furniture, too little storage space.) He's prompt, friendly, and responds very well to web messages and phone calls."

"DO NOT HIRE! Terrible. Regret. Anger. These are the best 3 words to describe Stanley Steemer. I just finished remodeling my entire home. Kitchen included. PLEASE NOTE: I do not, and no one lives in this house yet. We are not renting it out nor do we plan to. We were just about to move in once I finished all the remodeling. Also, I did not hire any third-party contractors, I did all the work myself. I decided, since I just finished major remodeling, it would be a good idea to have my air ducts cleaned, as we would soon be moving in with a newborn. I thought I was hiring the best and most professional company. Unfortunately, I wish I could rewind the clock and never have called Stanley Steemers. To finish the remodel I purchased all new appliances for my kitchen. I had just put them into place and removed the plastic protective covers prior to calling Stanley. I haven't even plugged them in yet! Again, no one lives in the home, and I just finished remodeling. This was the last step to being able to move in with my family. I called Stanley to finally finish my remodel and start moving in. Their technicians came on September 17 2021 to clean my air ducts. They wrapped up and headed out. I then walked around to check the air ducts and the job they did. That's when I noticed a large dent on the front of my refrigerator. My brand new refrigerator! That I just put into place and haven't even plugged in or taken the plastic from inside out yet! They lost control of their whip hose and the connection of their whip hose and air hose wacked into the front of my refrigerator. Which they state IS possible but their technicians are ‘adamant’ this didn’t happen. From where the impact happened there is a scratch that goes from the dent straight to the air duct next to the fridge. Like an arrow! After I noticed this I continued to check my home. And to top it off they didn't even finish cleaning all my air ducts. (The same ‘trustworthy’ techs that claim the damage didn’t happen) They forgot one. So $450 for a dented scratched BRAND NEW fridge and a job not complete. I was upset, to say the least. I am just now writing this complaint because I have been trying to work it out with Stanley. I first called them immediately after their technicians left. They filed the complaint, and then I was contacted by someone else. I submitted the photos of the damage and told them what happen. They told me their technicians denied the damage. Of course, they would! They didn't even finish the job they were hired to do, why would they be honest about that! I was not happy with their answer and requested their manager, who came to inspect the home and the damage. I presented all the evidence to them and they took it back to submit to their higher-ups. I was just now contacted by someone else at Stanley, on October 4, 2021, not a manager or anyone of importance, just a messenger to inform me that they do not believe they caused the damage and are denying it. They stated they do not use any equipment that could cause a dent like that. (but remember, they said it was POSSIBLE for the tech to lose control of their equipment and cause the damage, just unlikely) When I asked about the metal connection between their whip hose and air compressor hose I was pretty much ignored. I don't think they expected me to bring that up. More dishonesty! I was offered ‘$100’ to essentially buy my silence. I refused to be bought. To top it off, one of their managers in the midst of this month-long back and forth told me to call their Complaint Hotline…. Thanks."

"Horrible! I will never again purchase anything from Lowes in Florence, Ky. From day one this purchase was an absolute circus. The sales associate put my purchase in as taking my washer and dryer with me. I don’t have a truck! It took 2 days shy of 2 weeks to receive the units. Here’s the kicker. The delivery personnel did not have the dryer cord or hose I purchased with the dryer. I have to wait another day to have that installed. An absolute headache for 1,500.00. I implore you to not purchase any appliances from Lowes in Florence, Ky. I would write the whole experience but it’s just too much. Im so DONE with this store. Poor customer service and delivery was absolutely horrible all the way around. First and last buy from this store!"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Union, KY

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.
