Most installers will tell you that it takes up to about a day, and no more. Others will say that they can get it done within two to four hours.<\/p>\n<p>If your room is just one square room without any nooks or odd-shaped walls, installing carpet in a day or less is feasible. A unique shaped room may take a little longer than four hours.<\/p>\n<p>Try a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/calculator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">square foot carpet calculator<\/a> if you would like to know how much floor covering will be needed for your project. This will give you some kind of timeframe when you see how much carpet you&#8217;ll need.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-525498948.jpg\" alt=\"how much time will it take to get carpet installed\" width=\"775\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-525498948.jpg 775w, https:\/\/www.carpetguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/iStock-525498948-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 775px) 100vw, 775px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is only taking the new carpet installation into consideration. Moving the furniture and removing the old flooring can take some time depending on how much needs to be done. Since each project is different, there isn&#8217;t a set answer on how long the whole process will take.<\/p>\n<p>Also, consider the extra time it will take to install the carpeting on the stairs if that is included with your project.
