"Robert was very thorough throughout the installation. He made sure to make it right without rushing it. Floors look great and would use again when ready to install in the remaining rooms."

"Excellent We added another rug to the original order and requested that it be ready with the others as we were having company. They were able to make that happen for us despite their busy schedule. I felt Chris and Joe went above and beyond to make it happen for us. Very nice people who like what they are doing."

"Contacted flooring dept to see if we could get the flooring they had installed 16 months ago (took them 2 times to get it right that time! . Was assured they could, flooring came no transitions even though we verified! we told either order a different floor or use a strip that didn't match (had been out of our home for 7 weeks back into a corner with no time left. All because someone didn't do their job tried talking to the manager Travis very rude store manager. Done a half way job ordering and verifying.. even after being reminded multiple times. More details contact Rucklesx3@gmail.com more than happy to share all communications... do NOT use Lowes for your flooring our experience with Home Depot was phenomenal."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Mount Airy, NC

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.
