Q:We received a carpet bid for a room that is $2641.00. The next number is 52.44 installed and carpet only 39.44. I'm assuming this is yards? Does that sound like an average price for a slightly above average carpet?For about 200 square feet, is $7/sq. ft an average cost for tile and $1700 total including materials? Then still I have to pay labor separate. It is a unique tile in a unique shape, not square but rectangular.

The carpet , I need more info on since most of those numbers don t make sense with out knowing the s/f of the room to be carpeted. The 39.44 and the 52.44 sound like a square yard price and to give you a price like that is against the law. All carpet must be given in a s/f price format.. I used to have carpet that installed at 52.44 a s/y but it was excellent carpeting.. So I don t know about the carpet until I get more info, but its sounding high.. The tile could be 7$ a s/f if its unique like you say.. The installed price with the materials is a bit high but not totally out of line at all. Your installation area could explain that.. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL

Q:is a carpet cleaner job hard or an easy job?

For the most part, it is a fairly easy job, but this does not mean it is not challenging. You may get several jobs in a row where the carpet is immaculate and they homeowner's have moved everything for you. Then, you'll get a job where there are spots everywhere, that have been set (made into stains) by previous cleaning attempts and the homeowner will be expecting miracles. Easy or hard, it can be a rewarding job. You work a miracle on someone's carpet and the smile on their face makes it worth it.

Q:I have a long bit of carpet, like a rug i spose but its filthy and i want to put in in my room.. do u think its safe to just throw it in the washing machine to clean??

You can still wash it. Make sure you hang it out to dry though. If you're worried about it not being so waterproof after just get a can of that spray on stuff for shoes and it should do the trick. You should re-waterproof rugs at the start or end of each season.

Q:I recently dropped a small spot of bleach on cream colored carpet. Is there any way to dye the carpet back? It is a spot about the size of a quarter.

U can't restore color... but u have options. First u need to pull up as much of the bleach as u can. Bleach will eat up carpet not just remove color. Use a spot shampoo remover. Make sure spot is dry. Then go to the side corner of your closet, that u can't see and cut out a patch that is bigger than the one u want to remove. Cut out the organge spot. and glue back in the new carpet. U can secure with carpet nails. If ur unsure, go to carpet installer, they r usually great about teaching u how to fix most effective method. If u can put another rug over the spot then I do that. I wouldn't bother gluing in patch unless I was moving and u don't want to replace carpeting or be assess damages by landlord.

Q:how do you get dark spots out of my rug

I use the 409 carpet foam stuff and it works wonders! My puppy has a habit of running around in dirt and it gets all over my carpet ... I usually spray the spot let it sit for about 15 min and then rub it out and spray again and rub it out of course. It has worked on everything so far. Even dog throw up/poop/pee and my husbands grease covered shoes when he is done working in the garage! =)

Q:I have dark brown (medium chocolate, I'd call it) warm modern style leather sofa and love seat in a white room with 10 foot ceilings (I can't paint). The floors are oak, as is one book case (modern lines, arts and crafts style detail). The feet of the sofa are a dark walnut color. The accent pieces in the room will be yellow hues (artwork, vase, throw pillows). What sort of area rug should I get? Colors, patterns? Links to examples would be awesome. I'm getting more furniture, but I think the rug could really warm up the room. I'm concerned about getting something that looks too country or contemporary against the modern lines of the furniture.

I would guess something in a med to large rectangle shape, where the wood floor would show around the edges, with med.size patch squares, in colors of terra-cotta, gold, rust, orange, med.brown, cream. I can't figure how to get a site set up on here, But you can try going to a walmart, big lots, k-mart store, I know I've seen the pattern i mention at big lot, but whether they still have it, im not sure, home depot, has a lot to pick from. I hope I've been of some help.
