Down on slab, so we check the floor for moisture first and pick cushion rated for below grade. Then we place the seam out of the walking line.
Fourteen or fifteen treads plus a landing is normal in these 1980s and 1990s builds. We count and measure each step and price the landing on its own.
Bedrooms, hall and stairs go together. We move your furniture, work room by room, and leave you somewhere to sleep every night.
Bedrooms in these subdivisions run wide, so roll width decides everything. We measure each room, lay the pile in one direction down the hall, and keep seams away from the doors you use. Old carpet and cushion come out, we screw down the squeaky subfloor, then power stretch the new carpet wall to wall so it stays flat. Transition strips go in at every doorway. You get the room list, the numbers, and a free quote before we order.
The shaded area is Olney as OpenStreetMap draws it. We work across it and well past the edges, but a boundary on a map is not a promise about your driveway. Access, parking, elevator rules and the size of the job all count. Send us the address with the rooms you want looked at and we will tell you straight away whether we can get there and when.

Olney grew outward in the 1980s and 1990s, and the housing stock shows it: large single family homes, four or five bedrooms, a formal front stair and often a second flight down to the basement. That size works in your favour. When we do the whole upper floor in one go, we buy off fewer rolls, cut less waste, and run the pile in a single direction so the hall and bedrooms read the same in daylight.
We measure each tread and riser instead of counting steps and multiplying. Bottom steps flare, landings turn, and the last riser is rarely the same as the first. Then we set new tack strip, replace split stair nosing, and stretch the carpet with a power stretcher so it does not ripple in August. Stair runners get their own measurements when you want the wood to show.
Most Olney rec rooms sit on a slab. Concrete moves moisture, so we check the floor before choosing anything, then use a cushion rated for below grade. A big open basement usually needs a seam somewhere, and where we put it matters more than whether it exists. We run it out of the light and out of the main walking line. Basement carpet work covers the moisture questions and the product limits in plain terms.
Utility rooms, sump pits and the door to the storage side all need clean edges and a transition strip. We plan those before the roll arrives, not while it is on the floor.
Run the cost calculator for a starting range. Your Olney number then comes from measured rooms, the stair and landing count, roll width and pattern repeat waste, removal and haul-away, subfloor repair, and transitions. Furniture moving is part of the job, so tell us about the heavy pieces. We confirm service for your address before booking, and the measure and quote are free.
They can, but we rarely advise it. A basement on slab wants a cushion made for below grade and a carpet that takes heavier traffic. Bedrooms can go softer and deeper. We price both and you choose.
Homes here often have fourteen or fifteen treads with a landing partway up, and sometimes a second flight to the basement. We measure every tread and riser rather than multiply one by the count, because the bottom step is usually different.
We confirm your exact address before we book. Send the street with your room list and we will tell you whether the job is one we can take.
