"I struggled with the original estimate for the materials since I found the same tile at a lower cost with another vendor. When I discussed my concerns, the cost of the tile was decreased which made the total cost more manageable. Shortly thereafter, the installer Ray, (a sub-contractor), stopped by while painters were working, and was able to speak with them and get a picture of specifically what the job would entail. We waited a month for installation, which ultimately turned out to be well worth the wait. Ray worked to complete the job for more than 8 hours. He was professional, personable and diligent in completing the job. I'm very pleased with the finished room and foyer. <br />"

"I couldn't be happier with Joe and his crew.  From first contact and the time we met to get an estimate I could tell right off the bat he knew exactly what he was talking about, and was very professional about everything.  I met with 2 other contractors, and even though Home Facelifters wasn't the cheapest, I knew that they would get the job done right and on time.  They dealt with all of the city inspectors and dealt with pulling all the permits, they helped me pick out many of the different items for the house like the cabinets, counters, appliances, flooring, and even colors for the walls.  There were some things that I thought I wanted a certain way but Joe was always willing to try and explain why another way might be better, which I do appreciate.  The payment process was very simple, we did go over our original estimate, but he had told me upfront there was a chance we would find things behind the walls that we couldn't predict, and I was prepared to possibly go over by a certain amount so that wasn't a problem.  The work was done very quickly, and the quality of everything is great.  I will definitely be using Joe and his crew on future projects of mine. <br>"

"It was a great experience. We checked out a couple of other places, but found none of them beat Holyoke Millwork's price, service, professionalism and knowledge. We never felt rushed, and we stopped in many times trying to make the right decision. At one point, we wanted a type of flooring that would not hold up well on our type of sub-floor, and while we really wanted it, our salesman explained that in the long run we would probably run into problems. He went above and beyond the call of duty to help us find an alternative that would work well on our sub-floor and we were as happy with as our original choice. He even called us to say that he found an alternative to the transition strips that came with our kitchen floor that he thought would go better with our decor he was right. The installers were timely, professional and neat! They cleaned up everything and were very polite. Finally, the quote was the price. Not a dime more. No surprises, no additional fees. This was the first time I had purchased flooring and I could not be happier with the service and price at Holyoke Millwork."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Chester, MA

Carpet rolls come in standard widths of 12 and 15 feet. Less commonly, you might find a roll 13.5 feet wide. There are no standard roll lengths, but they’ll have enough to cover almost any home.

You’ll need equal amounts of carpet padding and carpet. Carpet padding costs $200 to $500 for the average room. However, the padding is trimmed a couple of inches away from the wall on all sides to make room for tack strips. Most residential installs have padding, and professionals include this in their bids.

Often, the best carpet for basements doesn’t include a pad. You’ll find this mainly in humid areas or places with a high-water table.

One linear foot of carpet or other material is simply one foot measured in a straight line. You typically aren’t going to measure carpet this way. It’s quoted in square feet or square yards.

There are nine square feet in one square yard of carpet.

The amount of carpet you need to cover two rooms varies depending on the room size and configuration. Measure the floor space. Multiply width times length. Do this for both rooms and add the numbers together.

You’ll need between 80 and 110 square feet for 13 stairs. For unique stairwells, you might need more.

Measure indoor/outdoor carpet like you would any other area, taking the width times the length. For patios, make sure to add a couple extra inches to wrap around the edges. Indoor-outdoor carpets cost an average of $3.50 per square foot.

You’ll need enough carpet to cover the entire area of damage to avoid seams. For example, if you have a 4-inch tear in the middle of a hallway, you’ll want enough carpet to stretch from door to door or the next available seam. Depending on the type of carpet you have, you might be able to get a professional to do an invisible seam repair.

One square foot of carpet is one foot long by one foot wide.
