"Fine work done by very helpful installers. They moved furniture, stripped carpets, painted with KILZ where necessary, recarpeted and replaced furniture. The work was done cheerfully and accurately. Andy Wagner was knowledgeable and his pricing was fair. I would recommend his company any time."

"Have used Messner twice in the last 18 months for two different jobs; very satisfied both times. First, had kitchen floor tiling installed during a remodel (remodeler did not handle tiling). Second, had stairs and hallway carpeting installed. Both times Messner offered a wide range of high quality products, lots of great advice, and excellent customer service. The work was performed on time and professionally. The product quality has been excellent. Pricing reflects the superior products and service, but is well worth the job well done. I have already recommended Messner to others."

"The job started with my wife Elaine meeting with Nancy Stafford at the store, followed by 2 visits by Nancy to our house, the first for showing Elaine preliminary samples and giving excellent suggestions on both fiber and color/pattern. Nancy returned for a second visit to show the special order samples that resulted from the first visit.The order was placed.The installation was scheduled for two days: 6/26-27.The installation crew, headed by Mr. Stafford, arrived at 8:30 AM and worked like a well oiled machine finishing up before 6 PM. I arrived  home from work just before that and spoke to Mr. Stafford about the 2day expected work time.He answered "I decided to send an army".He certainly did, and it was a very professional and personable one to boot!A fine job in all respects!Bob and Elaine Jacobsen <br />"

"Being new landlords, we were looking for a  reputable  company to install flooring  in our newly renovated 1200 sq ft duplex.  We had looked at several other stores before going to The Carpet Spectrum.  When we  met Dawn, we told her we had just purchased our first rental property and would like some guidance.  Her helpfulness and knowledge about all types of flooring convinced us we were in the right place.  She helped us pick out carpeting for 2 bedrooms, a stairway, hall and living room and vinyl for the kitchen and bath. The installation was on time and done very well. We were thrilled with our choices.  We enjoyed working with her and her team of installers and would choose The Carpet Spectrum again. <br />"

"Our realtor referred Larry to us as we were in a hurry of finding some carpet for our new house. I called a week in advance, scheduled the measurement during the walk-through, met Larry in the store to pick the carpet, and they came to install in two days. We were happy with the store experience with Larry, who was helpful nd informative. The guy doing measurement was very friendly, informative and professional. The only thing we were not so happy with was the guys came to install the carpet. They were punctual and nice at first. After they finished the job, we went to check it and found lots of yarns still left in the room, on the hallway and the staircase--even though they vacumned it. We asked if we can borrow their vacumn machine to clen it up because we just moved in and our moving container hasn't arrived yet that we have nothing we can use, and also we have a 9-month old baby crawling around and putting everything in her mouth. Once we asked, the guy became hostile and said it was only courtesy that they vacumned it, we were going to find a lot of falling yarns because of the type of carpet we chose, and they were very busy that they had another installation to go to. We were stunned. We originally were going to use them for another two rooms carpet installation but now we are going to try other stores."

"They are a small company, and I worked with the president of the company. They were very nice, knowledgeable, and professional. The company they do business with can have the carpet to them in 24 hours, and within a week, their installers were available. However, we weren't in a hurry and asked to delay for about a month. They were able to install on the date that met our needs. We will definitely hire them when ready to install our kitchen floor."

"Bill's Carpet worked for me. Had the pleasure of working with the manager Dave. The options were endless and they were able to order and install within my tight time constraints of leaving a rental and closing on my first home. I plan to do more upgrades on flooring. I will be contacting Dave at Bill's!"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Fairport, NY

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.
