Rader's Carpet Service

THE QUOTE: You can save money going with an outfit like Rader's Carpet Service because they do not have the upkeep of a showroom. I already had an idea of what I wanted and he brought a samples from his truck. I need carpet that tends to hide stains because I have a dog and hope to have some children over the next few years. He recommended a material and what his favored cleaning agent would be. THE SERVICE: Prior to the installation, I needed to unplug electronic stuff like computers and TVs and move "knick knacks". Rader's is a team of two brothers that have been working together for over 20 years. They work well together and get the job done fast. The work for all those rooms was finished in less than a day and they handled the moving of the furniture. The carpet looks nice and the carpet and padding is now very soft to walk on. My only gripe would be that carpet shavings were not cleaned up nor was I warned that the install would create a bunch of shavings that would need to be vacuumed up. The shavings are caused by the cutting of the carpet. I am still very happy with both the price and quality of the install.

Very flexible and professional services. We were stressed after our basement flooded, Larry assisted us by giving us a rough order of magnitude estimate and provided flexible scheduling. I made a mistake and schedule Radar's on Wednesday forgetting that we already had a personal commitment that conflicted with the appointment. No problem, Larry adjusted his schedule to accommodate ours. Professional and courteous while on site. Great service, competitive pricing. Customer for life.

Not only was Rader's responsive, they also completed the carpet installation project on time and within the budget estimate that was provided. Even though they'd never installed the particular type of carpet tiles that I'd ordered, they adapted easily and quickly to the project. I highly recommend them.

They showed up on time and worked straight through to finish the job which took about 2 hours. They did very good job and I will definitely use them for carpet or flooring work in the future.

Larry arranged his schedule to come for an estimate promptly and then he worked diligently to get the carpet scraps bound and the replacment work done.

Did a nice job fixing a bumpy mess. Arrived on time and made the carpet look like new.

It went great - we were in sort of a rush to get new carpet as we just moved to Indy and were getting our furniture in a few days - Mr. Rader brought samples to our home, phoned the supplier to be sure what we wanted was in stock, and then made it happen in our timeframe...also did a great job in just a few hours on Columbus Day no less!!!! I would hire him again - he is a professional.

Was asked to repair another contractor's poor installation work. Inspected the job and explained the necessary process, time needed and cost. Returned on schedule to perform work. Completed project above my expectations. Would highly recommend.

I called Larry on a Friday afternoon. He called back later that evening and he worked around my schedule for an appointment the next week. Larry and Steve arrived on time and completed the work quickly. The carpet looks fantastic after their repairs. Even though the repair was more detailed than they thought, costing more than the quote, Larry only charged me for the original price he quoted me on the phone.

We were able to get an appointment just a couple of days out, and it only took him 25 minutes start to finish. He was professional, on time and courteous.

Larry installed carpeting we purchased at a different location. I feel we got very good value for our money.

I called Larry at approximately 10:30 a.m. on a weekday morning with the intention of securing a dollar and time estimate and possibly setting up a time for him to see what the project entailed. I left an answering machine message and within 15 minutes he returned my call and, after my description of the problem and where I lived, gave me a range of cost and said he was finishing up a job very near my home..would I like him to come right now? I said yes and within 10 minutes he was at my door, ready to begin (the fact that furniture would have to be moved was not a problem. He came prepared).The final cost was at the upper end of the range and was well worth it. He worked very hard and skillfully. He was here perhaps 90 minutes and the carpet looks great, as it should have from the beginning. I would definitely hire Larry again to install carpet as well as to repair and/or reattach it.

Great. Larry installed my carpet about 18 months earlier in my entire home and I was very pleased with the job he did. I had a section that had bubbled up a bit and he came out within a day or two. He moved all of the furniture, stretched the carpet, and trimmed off a couple of inches. He moved the furniture back, apologized for the bubble, and didn't charge me a dime. Rather than going to one of the local rip off retailers, I recommend shopping for your carpet through wholesalers in Dalton, GA, having them ship it to a local distribution center, and having Larry install it. Larry will tell you where to have them send it and everything. Trust me-you'll save a LOT of money that way.

Larry was wonderful to work with and the quality of the carpet installation was great.

The owner, Larry Rader, Jr. came after normal daytime work hours to make repair just hours after I called and asked for repair service. Provided the Angie's List discount and did a fine job of repair.

Very good. Workmanship was good and he went "the extra mile." Moved cabinets back for me and returned to remove glue spots on carpet.

Extremely well. No surprises. He had estimated $75 to $100 in my phone call to him where I described what was needed. The job went so smoothly and quickly, I was hoping for the $75 charge, but got the $100.

Excellently! Price was below two other quotes and Larry was able to schedule to do the job very quickly and completed it in 2 hours! Fine quality!

He showed up as scheduled with everything he needed. No last minute surprises or extra charges. The work was finished in one day. The carpet laying is perfect in every way. There were stairs and a railing post to work around as well as the normal areas. Carpet seams are arranged in such a way that you really have to hunt to find them. No wrinkles. Carpeting in a basement room involved working around a post, which came out as good as any we've seen. The vinyl in the kitchen came out perfect as well, with the recesses for dishwasher and stove being done well enough that they would have passed if they were being left empty--just an illustration of attention to detail. Everything shows that it was done by an experience professional.

It turned out really well. Their work was very good.

I called Friday, he came to estimate that day and did the work the next day and finished quickly. I was thrilled!

Our sweet, but anxious, dog tried to dig her way out of the office one day while we were gone. She came close and shredded a good chunk of carpeting in the process. I was reluctant to replace the carpeting in the entire room when it was just a couple square feet that were damaged. I found Mr. Rader's business through Angie's List, and I was able to schedule an appointment for my next day off. He arrived right when he said would and went right to work patching the damaged area with some leftover carpet material. He was finished in thirty minutes, and I'm happy with how the carpeting looks.

Ok. I had a strip of carpet I had pulled back myself to fan dry and dehumidify and mildew treat after water seepage over the stair well door threshold (tri level home). It was about a 4 foot by 16 foot section of the carpet. I wanted the carpet laid back properly so I called for assistance. The gentleman was very nice and professional, but my beef was the cost. 125 dollars for literally ( and I timed it) 4 minutes of work. When I expressed disbelief he said it was the standard charge. Wow...I wasn't really prepared for that. I felt ripped off.

In the first place, I truly appreciated the fact that when I first talked to Larry about the spots on my carpet, he offered me some suggestions to try to get the stains off the carpet. After trying them without success, I called Larry back to set up an appointment. Regarding the appointment, he was punctual and did a great job. They patched the spots and it looks perfect. I will definitely hire Rader's Carpet for all my carpet needs.

Mr. Rader showed up at 8:00am as promised, and completed a fantastic job in a short amount of time. I had actually forgotten he was coming and still had to clear the floor so he could work. Larry was very understanding of my hectic schedule and came back about an hour later. Thank you Larry! He was very professional and friendly. He even recommended a carpet cleaner to use now that we had the carpet reinstalled.
