Carpet Base

Re: Carpet Base


Measure the perimeter of the layout(s)?? Hire somebody to do takeoffs Take net square footage and divide by 3.4 + 5%

Re: Carpet Base


Thank you. I usually have someone that takes care of all estimating. I sometimes have brain freeze when I do not do something for awhile.
