"Sherry came to my house and brought samples after hours! it was nice to have someone work with my work schedule. Installers were polite, and on time. They cleaned up after they left. We had nothing to do but put our furniture back in our room. Definitely will call on them again."

"On Saturday, May 2, 2020 my wife and I stopped by Curry Services looking for carpet for a bedroom that we are turning into an office. We had shopped several other stores in the area with no luck. This shore had just what we needed, good prices and wonderful customer service. The best part was that they had time to install it on the same day as purchase. The installer was punctual, professional, and fast. He did an awesome job. All-in-all it was a great experience dealing with true professionals. I have a couple other rooms that need new carpet and I know just were to go."

"I went with this company based on discussions with neighbors. My last carpet install was by one of the big box stores and I wasn't happy with the install or installers although the price was better. Christinia at the store was knowledgeable about ther product and was pleasant to deal with. The issues I had were with the installation. The quality of the installation was not what I was hoping for and in fact was below the quality of the big box install. <br /> Some of my issues with the insatll are; there are visable seams, the installers did not have a working vacuum to clean up the dust and debris so they tried to sweep it with a broom, the taping of the seams in padding. <br /> I made my selections of padding and carpet based on the fact that this house is a rental house. I selected a moisture resistant pad so the padding might not be soaked with moisture from steam cleaning and or pets. I discovered the old padding was also moisture resistand and the seams were carefully taped with duct tape and seemed very moisture proof and were of a high quality. The carpet wholesaler installers used a paper masking type of tape which did not seem moisture proof and did not seem to stick to the padding very well. It was pretty obvious because I kept the old moisture proof padding in two of the rooms so the quality of the new install was easy to compare as the old and new were side by side. I mainly purchased the more expensive padding based on Christinia's information about moisture resistance. I don't think that was a good choice based on the type of tape used as I believe any moisture will quickly find its way into the padding through the seams. <br /> The company promises to remove and haul away the old carpet and padding. The reality is if the carpet is pet stained and smelly they won't haul it away. They will haul it to the road with some very firm prodding. I understand this policy the carpet installers don't want a smelly van when they haul the new carpet to the house. I just wish I had know that before hand. They left the stained carpet and padding in the garage and when they were leaving they didn't want to take it to the curb. I had to insist that they haul it to the curb. In the end <em> </em>I said I would help them and the three of us carried carpet to the curb. <br /> I believe the quality of the install would have been worse if I was not present watching what was done. Of course it does look better than what was there. The installers did there best. It seems like a grueling job and I understand they didn't want to haul anymore carpet than they had to on a hot 90 degree day. There may be a reason why they don't use the standard silver duct for padding seems but they should as it seemed to be effective based on looking at he existing padding from ten years ago. <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Charleston, SC

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.
