"Robert Coleman was a joy to work with, I cant say enough good things about him & the company.There  AMAZING!!!!!!!!  , I have tried to get the pet stains out my self with no luck, I've even had carpet company's come clean my carpets with no luck. I called Color Your Carpet and I set up a appointment  they came out right away, I cant begin to tell you how happy i'm to have my carpets looking like there brand new again, My house is 18 years old and looks like I bought brand new carpet & the pet stains & smell are long gone. I love to entertain & my friends all think I installed brand new carpet. I wish I would have found them years ago all my problems would have been solved. I have told all my friends & family & coworkers.

"I shopped every provider in town finding only two who actually seemed to want the business. Might have been just my experience but I found Sweeney Bros. to be superior in their product knowledge, their knowledge of how a hardwood floor actually gets installed, and their candidness in answering all my questions. I felt there was no hype, no BS in the entire process. One of the Sweeney brothers themselves did the measurements and even went so far as explaining where the installation starting point should be to get the best effect of the finished flooring. The installer used by Sweeney Bros. has been working with them for several years to my knowledge. The installer and his crew were pretty punctual, professional in their manner and work, kept the entire work area clean so as I could continue to live in it throughout the installation. Follow up on minor issue has been satisfactory. So far very satisfied with the material selected, Sweeney Bros. knowledge, straight forward approach, professionalism of the installer and the installation. The price of the hardwood I selected was a little higher than some of the places I shopped but you could actually see a quality difference in the finish and even the milling. I would recommend Sweeney Bros. based upon my experience. <br />"

"I got two jobs done by this company. First they insulated my attic. I was happy with work and the communication of the team and inquired about flooring. I received a fair price. Both jobs were done in a timely manner and done well. They showed up on time every day, communicated with me throughout projects, and cleaned up every day after they left."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Chestnut, IL

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.
