What Happens at an At-Home Measurement?

If you are thinking about getting new carpet or flooring at Virgin Carpets and Flooring, your first step is to schedule a measurement with one of our flooring experts. At Virgin Carpets and Flooring, we’ve made this process as simple as possible. You can fill out our quick online form, give us a call, or stop by our showroom to request a measurement in person. And here’s the best part—it’s completely free for all our customers.

Getting the measurement done first is key to making sure everything else goes smoothly in the installation process. We also use flooring software to ensure the measurements are spot-on and the quote is accurate. When you book with us, you’re setting yourself up for a hassle-free and straightforward flooring experience.

Want to learn more? Here’s what to expect from your at-home measurement appointment, step by step.

Step 1: Getting Set for Your Appointment

There’s not much you need to do to prepare, but a few small steps can make the process even easier:

Clear the Floors: If possible, move smaller items and clutter out of the way so we have a clear space to take measurements.
Feel Free to Dream Big: Have ideas or questions about the kind of flooring you’re imagining? Jot them down so we can chat and answer all your questions during the visit.
Unlock Your Spaces: Just make sure we have access to all the areas you’d like measured, including any closets, hallways, or stairs.

That’s it! No need to stress—we’ll take care of the rest.

Step 2: A Warm Welcome

When we arrive, we’ll greet you with a friendly hello and introduce ourselves. We know it’s not every day you have someone come into your home, so we want you to feel comfortable and at ease.

This is your chance to tell us all about your vision for your space. Love the idea of soft carpet underfoot in your bedroom? Looking for something durable and stylish for the kitchen? We’re all ears! Together, we’ll come up with a plan that suits your needs, your space, and your budget.

Step 3: Measuring with Precision

Once we’ve chatted about your flooring goals, it’s time for us to roll up our sleeves and get to work measuring your space. We bring special tools and advanced software to make sure every measurement is accurate. Whether it’s a large dining room, an odd-shaped nook, or a staircase, we’ll measure every inch so it all fits perfectly.

Why Go Pro Instead of DIY?

We know measuring might seem like a simple task, but accuracy is everything in flooring. One small mistake could mean running out of materials or wasting money ordering too much. Our team knows exactly what to look for and how to measure tricky spaces so you can skip the guesswork. Plus, the software we use ensures your measurements are perfect and your quote is 100% reliable.

Step 4: Checking for Any Extra Work

Once the measurements are done, we’ll take a good look at your flooring situation to see if anything needs attention before installation. We’ll check if:

Your subfloor is even and secure.
There’s any damage that needs to be fixed.
Transitions between rooms need extra work to look seamless.

We’ll talk through all of this with you so there are no surprises later. This way, we’re ready to hit the ground running when installation day comes.

Step 5: Figuring Out Furniture and Doors

Got furniture in the rooms we’ll be working on? Don’t worry—we’ve got options! We’re happy to move those heavy pieces for you on installation day, but if you’d rather take care of it yourself, we’re good with that too.

We’ll also check your doors. Sometimes new flooring changes the height of the floor, which might make it hard for doors to open and close. If adjustments are needed, like trimming the bottoms of your doors, we’ll walk you through what that involves.

Step 6: See Samples in Your Home

One of the best things about our at-home measurement service is that we bring the flooring showroom to you! Why guess how something will look under different lighting when you can see it in your actual space?

We’ll lay out samples so you can compare colors, textures, and styles right then and there. Looking for something cozy for the family room? Or maybe something extra durable for busy areas? We’ll help you find the perfect match. And don’t worry if you’re unsure—we’re here to guide you every step of the way!

Step 7: Getting Your Customized, On-the-Spot Quote

Once we’ve got your measurements, flooring picks, and any prep work accounted for, we’ll give you a clear, all-in-one quote on the spot. This includes:

The cost of the flooring or carpet.
Taxes.
Labor fees for installation.
Extra services like moving furniture or trimming doors (if you need them).

We believe in being upfront and transparent, so there are no surprises when it comes to costs. Got a budget in mind? We’ll work with you to find the best option for your needs without breaking the bank.

Step 8: Why Choose Virgin Carpets and Flooring?
