CARPET / Estimating The Amount

Professional Estimation

Although we offer free flooring estimation services, you can follow the procedure outlined below to make a quick estimation of the amount of carpet you will need.

1) Layout the Area to be Carpeted

2) Measure Length and Width

Measure the length and the width of the room and record these on your sketch. Use the calculator below by entering your length and width to obtain an estimate of your room. Record the square feet and square yards on your sketch.

3) The Estimate is :

Be sure to list both measurements, since the total square footage of the room size may not correspond to the square feet (or yards) of carpet that will be used.
