"They did a great job. It was excellent. The two-man crew was very responsive and punctual. And their price was awesome. They also cleaned a fabric-covered chair for a good fee, while they were there."

"This is the second time I've used DNA Pro Cleaning. The latest project was to steam clean a very dirty limestone tile floor in a kitchen, then seal the tile. Edgar showed up exactly on time; provided great communications before, during and after the job; and left the floor looking as good as it did the day the tile contractor laid it down. Stunning results, and a great company to work with. Will use again for any kind of cleaning project we have."

"Faisal has been and is outstanding! Repair and cleaning were top shelf all the way! We’ve had three antique rugs cleaned, repaired and appraised with a total value of more than $30k and I trust no one else for this type of work! Oriental Rug Weavers are the absolute best!!"

"Terrible! I could have done a better job myself. Frankly, they have done such a sloppy useless job that is nit worth a penny. To add insult to injury, one of the technicians had a bad attitude. Stay away. You have been warned."

"They were great. On time with excellent customer service. I was debating get new carpet but wanted to try the deep clean first to save money if possible. So glad I did. I can forgo getting new carpet until next year because my carpet looks great!!"

"After extensive research, I contracted with Absolute Carpet Care for my upholstery cleaning. They were spectacular! Everything from their scheduler to the gentlemen that came to the house: very personable, professional, and efficient. The pieces that they cleaned were 16+ years old and now they literally look brand new. Their pricing was competitive and reasonable. I wish I would have contacted them years ago, I will definitely use them again. Highly Recommend!"

"I have been a customer of Hedayat for well over 9 years, from the time his ad appeared in Angies List. He is an expert on all things carpets which means as an appraiser, in addition to the cleaning and repair services provided, the quality of the work is the best it gets. My carpets thanks to the care given, all continue to look as they did when I brought them back to the US from the Middle East 14 years ago. I highly recommend Art Connection to those members who are seeking expert evaluation of and care for their prized Oriental carpets."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Washington DC, DC

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.
