"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. Im so pleased with Robert he was so professional and knowledgeable. <br />  I was so excited to find the company on Angie's list Thank You. <br /> Thank You Color Your Carpet <br />"

"Fabulous! Loved the 2 guys - Ricky and Andrew. They were outgoing friendly and professional. They had to come back a 2nd day as they ran out of time - they came out on a Sunday. I would totally recommend Empire and in particular these 2 installers. They were incredible!!! <br />"

"These men grasped the concept of what I had in mind immediately, and set out to exceed my expectations.  They were on time and budget, and seemed to really care that the remodel was done exactly right.  They could not have done a better job if they had been working on their own home. <br />"

"John Simms and his staff were excellent.  I felt they were trustworthy and knowledgeable.  They went above and beyond to procure us the best outcome for the money, including working with our insurance adjuster and mediating between us and vendors.  They replaced wallboard and trim, painted, installed carpet tiles and vinyl, rebuilt our entire kitchen.  They used Grinstead's carpet whose staff were also excellent.  This is our 3rd experience with John Simms and Paul Davis Restoration and we know we can depend on them. <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Franklin, KY

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.
