"I cannot say enough accolades about Bart's Flooring & Carpet Center. From the moment my husband and I stepped foot in the showroom, I knew we were in the right place. I needed to replace an old, worn kitchen floor, and Jeff knew exactly what I was trying to achieve with the new one. We anticipated putting in vinyl planking; however, Jeff suggested a hardwood-looking linoleum flooring he already had in stock. It was exactly the look I had been searching for! Steve, the installation guru, did a phenomenal job with the install - even removing the old vinyl that was down and replacing all appliances and furniture in their exact location when the job was done - all in one day! I will definitely be recommending Bart's to everyone I know!"

"I’ve used them once. I’m not sure if I’ll bring them back. Of course, it’s a big national chain. They just did a perfunctory job. I’m not one of these customers that has their carpet cleaned every 6 months. It was a perfunctory job, they were in and out in a couple of hours. They seem to do an okay job, but nothing that stands out. They were fast. They came when they said they were going to come, so I guess that was punctual. The overall impression I had was a “B”, but they weren’t an “A”. They didn’t wow me. I want to try a different carpet cleaning because the other company is better rated on Angie’s List."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in West Kingston, RI

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.
