Floor Coverings International Mesa: Your #1 Choice for Carpet, Vinyl, and Laminate Flooring in Mesa
Why Accurate Mesa Flooring Measurements Matter
When it comes to installing new flooring, precision is everything. At Floor Coverings International Mesa, we understand the importance of getting accurate measurements before making any decisions. Just recently, a real estate agent called us with a question that highlighted the common confusion around carpet measurements.
He told us he had a 10×10 room and needed 100 square feet of carpet. However, we explained that he would actually need 120 square feet. Why? Because carpet comes in 12-foot-wide rolls. If you’re working with a 10×10 space, you can’t just order 100 square feet—you have to account for how the carpet is manufactured and sold.

Mesa Real Estate Agents and Flooring Misconceptions
Many real estate agents are surprised when they see the actual measurements of a home. A listing may claim a home has 1,500 square feet of livable space, but after proper measurement, it often turns out to be closer to 1,350 square feet. This can significantly impact flooring estimates, leading to unexpected costs if not measured correctly.
In one recent case, a homeowner believed they needed flooring for a 2,000-square-foot house. After factoring in stairs, seams, and custom cuts, the actual requirement was 2,500 square feet. This discrepancy highlights why accurate measurement is critical before purchasing flooring materials.
Different Flooring Materials Require Different Considerations
Carpet Flooring
Carpet is typically sold in 12-foot-wide rolls, meaning rooms that aren’t perfectly sized will require adjustments to avoid excess waste. Our experts help you navigate these nuances so that you get the most cost-effective solution.
Vinyl Flooring
Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) are popular choices due to their durability and ease of maintenance. Since vinyl is often sold by the plank or tile, it’s essential to measure accurately to minimize waste and ensure seamless installation.
Laminate Flooring
Laminate comes in planks and requires precision cuts, especially in rooms with unique layouts. Without proper measurements, homeowners can end up with more material than needed or fall short mid-project.
The Importance of Professional Measurements
Getting your flooring measured professionally isn’t just about avoiding waste—it’s about achieving the best aesthetic and functional results. Some of the benefits of choosing Floor Coverings International Mesa for your flooring needs include:
- Avoiding Over-Purchasing or Under-Purchasing: Saves time and money by ordering the right amount of material.
- Reducing Installation Errors: Proper measurements lead to a smoother installation process.
- Enhancing the Finished Look: Strategic seam placement and cut planning result in a cleaner, more polished appearance.
