"They accepted my Angie's List coupon and I had told them that ahead of time. I had no problems at all and the work was wonderful. The service techs were very good. They took my carpet out to my car & loaded it for me too. The carpets were ready when they said it was time."

"Jeff and his team were friendly and professional. There was a great attention to detail on the installation. They worked quickly and left the work space spotless. During installation they noticed some squeaking in one area of the floor and worked to address it before laying down the new floor, which I don't know that many contractors would take the time to do. He came in lower than other store front type flooring services and did a much better job! We will definitely use them again on future projects, Jeff was a delight to work with!"

"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.

"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 />"

"The salesman, Mark, was very patient with me as we discussed flooring over several months' time. I finally decided on a carpet, and, since I didn't want it right away, and it was on sale, I asked him to order it for me to lock in the price, and I gave him a 50% deposit. When the time was right, the installers came and finished the job in a day, after which I paid the final 50%. They did a great job from start to finish, and I was very satisfied with the experience. <br />"

FAQs for carpet installation projects in Shipman, 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.
