"We remodeled our master bath and dressing room, which included replacing an 84” vanity and sink, updating tub/shower, installing new tub and toilet, installing new tile flooring, and painting bath, dressing room, master bedroom and closets. While Marek Matisse, the person doing the work showed up every day, his work was subpar and he was not respectful of our home and furnishings. He wasn’t always prepared to work because he didn’t bring equipment he needed. He was constantly borrowing tools, not always returned. He needed a work light one day, and decided to use a brand new $750 lamp with a fabric shade. He didn’t ask to use it. I only realized it when he complained that it didn’t have bulbs in it. He also very badly scratched our cherry dresser, leaving a very deep gouge. The work did not start well when I wanted to keep a 4’x7’ vanity mirror to reinstall on our bedroom wall. Project manager Mike Rosseland and Marek both told me it couldn’t be removed without breaking it. Interestingly, they just happened to remove it when I was not scheduled to be home. Fortunately, I returned early to find a glass truck in my garage and Marek and another man removing my intact mirror to the truck. They refused to bring the mirror back up, saying it would break. In other words, if they couldn’t take it, they would make sure that we could no longer use it. It will cost us at least $1000 to replace that mirror. Vanity outlets were added and replaced with GFI. Unfortunately, they were not properly located and are not to code. We installed a mosaic tile border in the shower and vanity backsplash. The tiles were not installed evenly in several places and grout lines therefore do not match. Very shoddy. We installed special order tile and Mike Rosseland, the project manager, didn’t want to determine the amount we needed. As he told me, “We just order a bunch of tile and take back what we don’t use.” Returning unused tile was not an option as it was all special order, and Mike understood that very well. And the tile was expensive. Still, Mike apparently doesn’t know how to do math. I spent an entire afternoon measuring and calculating the amount of tile, and included an additional 20% as Mike recommended for cuts, etc. We agreed on the amount of tile to be ordered, however Mike still ordered boxes more tile than we needed and agreed to. He then very generously offered to take the excess off of my hands, but only if he didn’t have to pay me for it. We still have boxes of unused tile. The painting that was supposed to be done was incomplete. The walls, ceiling and 2 doors were painted, but the closets and trim were not. The trim paint that we paid for also disappeared. We had several issues at the end that we waited at least months for them to address. It wasn’t until the closet rod pulled out of the wall that Mike responded. These above issues, as well as severely yellowed tub caulk, were not resolved. The closet wall was patched and the wall repainted, which was when we learned that the closets had not been painted. When Mike finally responded 6 months later after repeated calls, he insisted that the door and trim paint were the same (they definitely are not) and that the closets had been painted."

"I needed a new binding for one side of a sisal rug. Minasian found a near-perfect color match, so that it wasn't necessary to replace the binding on the other three sides, thus saving me a bundle of money. They also cleaned the rug and treated it with a stain guard. The whole project took almost 8 weeks---longer than I thought it should. But Minasian kept me informed through the process, and "comped" the materials charge (for the binding) for the delay. The pick-up and delivery occurred exactly at the appointed times."

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Kenilworth, 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.
