"Carpet Plus has an extensive selection of carpets and allowed me to take home many samples, over several days. Their communication was consistent and they kept me informed of the status of my order and confirmed scheduling and followed up afterwards to ensure I was satisfied. Their installer is first-rate and she did a flawless job of installing the carpet on our stairs. I highly recommend Carpet Plus."

"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.

"First, the guys that installed the hardwood flooring did a great job. They were there on time and did a first class job. I would highly recommend them for any floor job. <br /> The ordering process that led up to the installation did'nt go as well. We started the process back in ealry June when we went to the Floors Are Us showroom and picked out the flooring we wanted. This flooring was ordered and we paid for the materials up front in full. The install date was set for July 5. <br /> We arranged to take July 5th off from work, and spent most of the day July 4 moving all the furniture out of the living room. The installers were supposed to be at the house around 10:00am.....at 10:10am I called Floors Are Us wondering where the installers were....the Floors Are Us person told me to call one of the head guys named Justin. When I called him, he aplogized and told me that when the installers were loading the materials they noticed it was the wrong flooring and that it would have to be reordered.... <br /> So....we took a day off and moved tons of furniture for nothing.....long story short....no one checked to verify the right flooring had come in...the wrong stuff sat in their storage room for 2 weeks and no one ever verified it was the correct flooring for our job....and we were stuck for another 2 weeks with a house in chaos until the right flooring arrived and a new install date could be arranged...which was July 20. <br /> So, the bad news was a major delay and disruption for us and wasting a day of vacation time. <br /> The good news was that they arranged for the installers to come on a Saturday so we could avoid another day of vacation time and took a few hundred off the price. <br /> Again, the installers were great -- the ordering process and communication with the customer wasn't so good. <br /> If you use them, you will have to stay on top of them every step since they don't pay much attention to detail....and if you do, you'll do fine <br /> <br />"

"They did a great job, calling me within 45 minutes of a web inquiry that I made an hour before they opened, they were able to come out an stretch a 7 year-old carpet that had started bubbling up. They came out the same day and were great to work with. They worked around several features that made the job more challenging (hearth, baseboard heater) with aplomb. I'd use them again in a heartbeat. <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Palmyra, VA

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.
