"The service was outstanding from start to finish. Gina listened to what our needs were (three giant breed dogs), gave us all of the options, with a full spectrum of prices, and helped us narrow down our choices. When she came to our home to measure, she was very helpful in making our final choice. Communication was always excellent. Alan and his crew, who installed the carpet, were on time, very efficient, very easy to work with and did an superb job installing the carpet -- looks absolutely great. We've had the carpet for two months now, and we're extremely satisfied. A big thanks to GIna, Alan, and his crew! Will be going back to them for all of our flooring! <br />"

"This vendor is nothing short of AMAZING.  Super courteous, responsive, and very engaged in wanting to do the right thing for me.  The Sales Rep that I worked with, Amie, was great at giving me the quote I asked for and providing various options.  She followed up a few times, but was never pushy of overbearing.  Just a really A+++ experience even though I did not use them. <br />"

"they were on time and finished the work in the estimated time. It did take 10 days for carpet to arrive as with all places we checked: Lowe's, Home depot and a family owned business in Pale Alto. <br />"

"Submitted a question on Angie's List about whether Gary did free quotes and whether furniture needed to be moved around for carpet re-stretching.  Received a call very quickly from Marsha, his wife - she was lovely and said that Gary could be out for a free estimate that week.  Gary arrived right on time, gave us our quote and said that he had time to fix our issue before going to his next customer which was very convenient for us.  I can't believe how great the carpet looks - brand new and no sign of the previous speed bumps.  Gary was super friendly and worked very hard.  I feel very fortunate to have found someone that knows their stuff and will be using him in the future should any other carpet issues come up as well as telling my friends and family about him.  Good workers are hard to come by these days - you will not be disappointed by the customer service you get here. <br />"

"Overall a pleasant experience.  we went to Armstrong's shop on West Portal and with the assistance of a knowledgeable salesman, Kevin, selected suitable carpeting.  kevin came to see the apartment, measured it out and sketched the best and most economic way on cutting the carpeting to fit the premises.  This measuring of the floor plan is somewhat tricky because of alcoves, closets and diagonal cut-offs.  But he managed beautifully.  The overall price was less by several hundred dollars than 7 years ago when the apartment got the last carpeting job.  This even though the square foot price of the carpeting was almost the same.  Kevin also has a very keen 'color sense,' which helped in harmoniously matching the existing wall colors with the carpeting. <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Walnut Creek, 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.
