"Shawn was fantastic from start to finish. He responded promptly to my request for an estimate. He is extremely knowledgeable and spent time walking me through my options and explaining the pros and cons of those choices. On install day he and his crew arrived on time, worked extremely hard and kept an extremely clean work environment. I would highly recommend Riley's Carpet Services"

"We are moving unexpectedly and needed new carpet before selling. They were able to schedule me, had the right product, and installed it one day. Everything was done to our satisfaction and the overall service was fantastic."

"After searching online for stair runners and installation, Main Street Oriental Rugs in Ellicott City, MD, clearly had the most helpful information available.  We visited the shop in the historic section of Ellicott City, and the owner, Mojan Bagha, helped us select the right carpet for the runner--not the most expensive, and not something that would look inappropriate.  The stair runner required two 90 degree turns that had to be measured precisely.  Mr. Bagha personally made the measurements.  His installer, Robert, did an excellent job of professionally installing the runner with the right padding.  The seams at the right angles were impossible to detect.  Robert ensured all work areas were protected during installation and cleaned afterwards.  After a month of hard use, the runner still looks like new and is very comfortable to the feet, as well as providing better traction than bare wood.  We are absolutely delighted with the entire process, from website research, to shop visit, to onsite measurements, to final installation.  Most highly recommended! <br />"

"Their rep was extremely helpful in selecting a color and figuring out the best width of carpet to minimize seams that might trip one of our little kids. The only problem was that their rep had said the installers would glue the wooden strips to our concrete basement floor. The installers showed up and started hammering them into our concrete basement floor, which is not ideal. Apparently gluing the wooden strips requires doing the glue requires coming one day, and then coming another day to actually put down the carpet. Hopefully the nails in the concrete floor won't cause moisture problems... Otherwise they were great; the result looks great."

"<p>The service was provided at the date originally set -- despite a potential hiccup. (The vinyl was possibly not going to arrive in time for the scheduled install. Bonitz made it happen according to their originally scheduled date!)</p> <p>The flooring looks gorgeous and working with Bonitz couldn't have been better. It's a family business and they are kind, ethical people. We are going to be moving within the next 18 months -- if we need flooring, Bonitz will be our pick!</p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Taneytown, 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.
