Carpet Installation in Rhode Island & Massachusetts

Precise, professional carpet installation in homes and businesses.

About Carpet Installation

DRL has installed carpet in Rhode Island and Massachusetts homes since 1984, and it is still the job customers mention most in their reviews. Our own crews do the work, not a subcontractor you have never met. You choose from hundreds of samples in the showroom or have us bring them to your home, we measure and quote in writing, and the same team that quoted the job shows up to install it.

What's included

  • In-home measurement and a written quote with options at different price points
  • Removal and disposal of old carpet and pad
  • New pad matched to the carpet and the room (stairs, bedrooms, basements, high traffic)
  • Power-stretched installation with seams placed away from sightlines and traffic paths
  • Transitions to hardwood, tile, and vinyl trimmed and finished
  • Vacuum, cleanup, and haul-away before the crew leaves
How it works

From first call to finished floor.

  1. Pick samples at any of our three showrooms, or book a free in-home visit and we bring them to you.
  2. We measure every room and stair, then send a written quote, often within a day.
  3. Choose your carpet and pad. We order it and give you an installation date you can plan around.
  4. Installation day: the crew removes the old floor, preps the subfloor, stretches in the new carpet, and cleans up.
  5. Walk the job with the installer before they leave. Anything you notice gets fixed on the spot.

Stairs and hallways

Staircases come up in dozens of our reviews, and for good reason: they are the hardest carpet job to get right. Our installers hand-fit each tread and riser so the pattern lines up, the nosing is tight, and nothing bunches at the landing. If you have hardwood stairs you want to protect, tell us at the estimate and we will plan the tack strip and padding accordingly.

Timing

Most in-stock carpets can be installed within one to two weeks of your order, and customers regularly mention same-week installs when a move or sale is on the clock. Special-order styles take longer; we will tell you the lead time before you commit.

Pricing

Every job starts with a free, written estimate. The price you are quoted is the price you pay, which customers point out in their reviews.

Questions

Carpet Installation FAQs

Do you install carpet on stairs?

Yes. Stairs, landings, and hallways are a large share of the carpet work we do. Each tread is hand-fitted, and we can do a waterfall or wrapped (Hollywood) style depending on the look you want.

Who does the installation?

DRL installers. The crew that measures and quotes your job is the crew that installs it, which is why customers name the same installers in reviews year after year.

Do I need to move furniture?

Empty the room of small items and breakables. Talk to us about large pieces at the estimate; in most cases the crew can move furniture within the room for a small charge or as part of the quote.

How soon can you install?

In-stock carpet is usually installed within one to two weeks, and faster when you are up against a closing date or a tenant move-in. Special orders depend on the mill.

Is the price you quote the price I pay?

Yes. Estimates are written and include removal, pad, installation, and cleanup. Customers regularly note in reviews that the final bill matched the quote.

  • I am returning following the use of DRL rug cleaning services and I must say I am extremely pleased!! I have used many cleaning companies over my 40 years of home ownership and I will without hesitation use this company again for carpet cleaning and floor installation. My daughter had carpeting installed in the past and was so pleased that she recommended DRL to me.

  • This company is same as DRL carpets in Woonsocket as well as North Attleboro. I can tell you from a personal experience you will not be disappointed. They take pride in their craftsmanship which is a rare thing today. If you need carpets installed or carpets clean definitely give them a call.
