"S & G removed our old carpets and installed new carpets in 3 bedrooms.  Mike came out and gave us our estimate and showed me the layout of the carpets including where the seam would be located (by the headboard).  After installation, the seam in the master bedroom was right at the entrance.  We also noticed large scratches on the bed, the desk, and the door jamb to our bathroom.  I contacted them and they kindly reinstalled the carpet in the master bedroom with the seam at the headboard as originally planned and removed the furniture moving fee.  We are still left with a huge scratch on our bed and damage to the door jamb and desk.  I suggest moving your own furniture if possible.  The carpet itself looks great. <br />"

"Work went smoothly. Originally was going to put sheet vinyl over existing floor. But with the size of the refrigerator, the workers had to pull the old flooring out. They did all that with no additional cost."

"Our experience with Sand G was great. There was never any pressure and everyone of the staff were always available to us and extremely helpful. Bill Sprugasci was our sales rep and had himself been installing carpets for years, so he was able to answer all of our technical questions with ease. Our installer, Lalo, was wonderful. Put carpeting in two rooms, a hall, and a stairwell. He did a fabulous job. We love it. We would highly recommend Sand G in Pleasanton to everyone! <br />"

"They should have more clarity with pricing. The installer was talented but his bedroom manners left something to be desired. He was very skilled but condescending. The price was close to the competitors. It ended up being more expensive but we had to have a lot of work done with the subfloor. The sales guy was very professional but the installer that came was a B. I'd give A for the sales guy and B for the installer. I would go to them again. The pricing seemed reasonable on buying the actual wood. The installer was very skilled but challenging to work with. If your floors need a lot of work in terms of leveling out a subfloor, they have very skilled people but they won't necessarily be pleasant to deal with. You'll be happy in the end with the quality of what they did."

"USean Bell, salesperson, was amazing and very patient as I changed my order several times.  The delay occurred when the Mirage Engineered Hardwood was two weeks late in arriving requiring my changing the moving date of all the furniture stored to another date and extending storage contract another month. Unfortunately, the call informing of the delay came the day I was expecting Floor Dimensions to arrive and install the flooring.   <br /> Installation of the Marmoleum was on time and finished withing a week.  The installation of engineered hardwood took two weeks and went without a hitch. <br />"

"Prompt, personable, and professional. Pardon me if I glow, but... <br /> Sarino answered my phone call immediately. In this particular case, I didn't even have to contend with the voice-mail and call-back scenario so typical with vendors these days. He gave me a reasonable quote on the phone right away, so we scheduled a service appointment for the next business day. On the morning of the service, he called me to confirm, so I never had any worries whether he'd be there as promised. <br /> We needed this service because we had just completed remodeling two rooms with bamboo hardwood floors and wanted simple, clean and quot;stretch-and-tuckand quot; thresholds in the doorways where the hardwood met the hallway carpet. Sarino was able to install new tack strips in the doorways, trim the excess carpet and pad, stretch the carpet nice and tight, trim it, and tuck the loose end into the threshold, snug against the wood flooring. In one case, he even had to trim the exposed hardwood and quot;tongueand quot; off the flooring (the planks used a tongue-and-groove mechanism for installation) so that there would be no gap, dip, or shadow between the carpet and the wood. <br /> Sarino even looked at another metal-cover threshold done in a different area and suggested we could give it the same treatment. I wasn't sure it was possible because there was no excess carpet, but after examining it, Sarino was able to stretch the carpet enough to make it work. So basically we got a bonus threshold and he didn't charge us anything extra. <br /> The result is three clean, seamless lines between the carpet and hardwood/tile. There are no bulky, shifting cover-plates to trip over, and no perpetually loose nail-heads to snag our socks. There's just a natural-looking transition. I couldn't be happier. <br />"

"We couldn't be happier with Gary's work. We had hired someone else to take carpet off a staircase and replaced it with hardwood treads and a new railing, which left us with new wood at the top of the stairs and at the base of the new railing on the upper landing, and existing carpet on the rest of the upper floor that needed to be cut and fitted in around the new wood, including one complicated corner. I called a couple of carpet retailers, but their minimum installer charges started around $175, and so I decided to look further through the List to find someone who just did repairs, if possible, because that's all we needed, and lo and behold on the second page there he was. <br /> Gary came out the very next day, cut the carpet to fit beautifully, re-stretched it in numerous places to remove all the bubbles, tacked it down, and installed a shim to raise the level of the carpet where it met the wood at the top of the stairs so there is a smooth transition. After he was done with the major work he spent a lot of time tucking in or cutting off loose threads and generally making it look as neat as possible. He's a delightful guy who really knows what he's doing. His minimum charge is $100, which gets you an hour of his time. I'd recommend him enthusiastically for anyone who needs work like this done. <br />"

"Matt arrived on time, measured the areas, and got to work cleaning some very dirty places in our carpet, including stairs. He was pleasant and professional, and quick. He finished in less than 2 hours, and everything looks SO MUCH better now. He told us that everything would be dry by morning, and it was. We will have him back later in the year when we get our place ready to put on the market. <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Union City, 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.
