"This company knows what it’s doing. I called Mighty Clean and Linda provided estimate, arranged date. Kevin arrived on time, measured, provided actual cost (close to estimate), completed work in 2 hours (again as estimated), and left me with a “like-new” carpeted rec room and a sparkling modular sofa. I definitely recommend this company and will use them again."

"Very pleasant and professional experience. Chris and Herbeth were exceptionally careful in my home. For example, they put plastic shields up on the corners of the stairwells so their equipment would not scrape or chip the paint. Carpets looks great. I would definitely hire again and recommend."

"Clawes Carpet replaced the flooring on both my entry way, main level, basement and the stairs which connect these levels in my townhouse. I cannot say enough positive thoughts about this company, its administrative staff, installers and the whole process from start to finish has been smooth and well organized (even when I requested to change the install date :)). They are accommodating and the final result is outstanding! I love the final results, and receive lots of compliments. This has been the best and most pleasant experience! I would and have recommended this company over and over."

"Absolutely fantastic company and staff. We were getting our home ready to sell so we had them replace a significant amount of carpet in our home, and at a great cost. The day we put our home on the market, one of our dogs decided to chew up the entire stairwell carpet. I called PriceCo in a panic, and they managed to squeeze on in and come out that same day to put new carpet down. I can't thank them enough. Wonderful customer experience."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Gaithersburg, MD

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.
