Determining how much carpet you need is simple, especially with our carpet calculator. However, before you begin, you need the dimensions of your room, or rooms, as well as the specs for your carpeted stairs. Remember, the goal when laying carpet is to not have seams, or as few as possible. To do so, your carpet calculations have to be spot on. As such, many homeowners contact carpet professionals to ensure they dont overspend on materials.

If you already know your carpet area, enter the numbers into the carpet calculator above. If not, continue reading to see how to calculate carpet area.

To determine the carpet area, measure and draw the room. Measure the width of the room at its widest point. Measure the length of the room at its longest stretch. Enter these numbers into the carpet estimator above. If youd like to do everything by hand, lets get into some math.

Multiply those two longest points by each other to determine the square footage of the room. If your carpet installer requires the total carpeted area in square yards, divide the rooms square footage by nine. Repeat this process if youre carpeting multiple rooms.

As you might imagine, adding carpet to stairs is not as simple. Determining the exact measurements for both the stair tread (the horizontal part) and the stair riser (the vertical part) can be confusing. Even further, converting those measurements into square yards is another obstacle all together.

Luckily, our stairs carpet calculator takes the guesswork out. For stairs, measure one stair tread from one side to the other side of the rail (or wall) and then round it off to the nearest foot. Then, measure the stair riser from the bottom to the top of the tread and round off to the nearest foot. Multiply these two together to determine the area of one stair. Add three inches if you plan to use carpet padding. Count all the stairs and enter these numbers into the stair calculator. If doing by hand, multiply your stair area (plus the padding) by the number of stairs to determine how many square feet of carpet youll need for all stairs.

As you can see, entering the room and stair dimensions into our carpet calculator makes life much easier.

Carpeting is usually sold by square yards and most come in rolls of 9-, 12- or 15-feet wide. Therefore, you need to know how many square yards (not square feet) of carpet you require. While our carpet area calculator determines how many square yards of carpet you need, you can once again do the math on your own.

All manual calculations above tell you how many square feet of carpet you need. To convert to yardage, follow all the steps above. Then, add the square footage of all rooms and stairs together. To get the total square yardage, divide that number, or the total square footage by nine.

Carpet Square Yardage = Carpet Square Footage/9.

According to our carpet installation cost estimator, carpet installation prices, if you hire a pro, range between $200 and $4,000, with an average cost of $1,500. Looking at the carpet costs a little closer, you can determine the full cost breakdown.

In total, if you hire a carpet installer, your carpet installation cost could range between $10 and $98 per yard. If youre getting multiple carpet bids, which we always recommend, make sure all bids use the same units. If one contractor gives you a price per square yard and another gives you a price per square foot, ask one to convert their total. As always, when looking at home remodeling bids, you have to compare apples to apples to ensure youre hiring the best carpet contractor.

Just like tile or wood, there are numerous carpet types and styles to choose from. Of course, each bring along different price points. If youd like to limit your price of carpet, evaluate the following options and choose a carpet that fits your budget.

Lumped into those carpet labor costs above are extras that many homeowners dont consider. Beyond the actual carpet and installation work, other factors are at play. Therefore, any true carpet cost calculator must take the following items into consideration.

Installing carpet is not a dangerous or difficult project, but it is quite demanding. Beyond cutting and kneeing the carpet into place, you have to install sections in certain areas. Again, place carpet seams in low-traffic areas. Despite the demanding work, with all the tools and know-how, you can install one room of carpet in less than a few hours.

Rather than spending a lot of energy on carpet installation, most homeowners hire carpet pros to get the job done quickly and efficiently. You wont only save time, but also the stress that comes with all physically demanding DIY projects.

Carpeting makes any room feel warmer, both literally and figuratively. Once you determine how much carpet you need, use ImproveNet to connect with at least three local carpet contractors to get the best bid for your project.

With their most recent office redevelopment project in the bag, the big question is where J.C. and Maria Vargas might turn their attention next.

Considering that theyve already overhauled a dilapidated motel, followed by reinventing a derelict radio station, the sky seems to be the limit.

Absolutely, said J.C. Vargas. We dont have anything thats closed at this point, but there are a lot of places were looking at and dreaming about.

The Vargases professional expertise includes everything from real estate to consulting, but J.C.s background knowledge of construction led them to begin dabbling in redevelopment in 2014. Their most recent success story involves the old WCGC radio building at 6021 Wilkinson Blvd. in Belmont.

After noticing that the iconic and locally well-known property was up for sale, they bought it for $305,000 in late 2018, then spent the bulk of the past year overhauling it. It now offers just shy of 5,000 rentable square feet between the two floors, with half a dozen offices and a conference room on each level.

New occupants

The first tenant, Star Leasing, moved into the second level long before the overall building renovation was complete.

They were eager to get settled in, Vargas said.

The second tenant, Elite Spine Center, is a chiropractic clinic that celebrated its grand opening on the first floor Friday. Both businesses have signed three-year leases with an option to renew.

I think theyll both be there for a while, said Vargas. (The redevelopment) turned out really nice. I think they got a bargain.

The radio building was constructed in 1978 on a roughly one-acre lot. It carried WCGCs Christian programming from the beginning and was a place where live broadcasts took place for years, often hosting local classes of schoolchildren on field trips. It also was used to broadcast local sporting events.

The station was more recently operated by WHVN, which is continuing to use a transformer in the basement to relay signals to towers elsewhere.

Before buying the property in 2008, the Vargases did a walk-through, where they saw everything from a piano still tucked into one corner of the old studio, to a vintage microphone hanging from the ceiling.

It was something else. It was like a snapshot in time, said Maria Vargas. It had shag carpet all over the walls in the recording studio.

Satisfying result

But based on the configuration of the rooms, and the appealing architecture of the exterior, it didnt take long for them to see its potential for hosting a couple of professional service businesses of some type.

Newly installed features include wall-to-wall carpet in the offices and granite countertops in the bathrooms, along with Crafstman-inspired moldings, and new paint and trim. The hallways and reception areas inside were upgraded with a ceramic wood floor that features a ceramic tile inlay.

We also removed vinyl siding on the outside, said J.C. Vargas. We put a wood-looking clad and it came out just beautiful.

Major landscaping also included bringing in fill dirt to lift up and reconfigure the parking lot. There are now about 25 spaces in the front, and another 20 in the back.

Dearness Gardens of Huntersville installed the aesthetic conifer landscape, while the architect for the exterior of the building was Tom Giblin of Charlotte.

All in all, Vargas said it proved to be a worthwhile project.

There were no major problems, he said. There were just the normal challenges you have in an older building when youre taking things apart and finding things you didnt expect.

But it was all pretty much expected. There was nothing that made me wish I didnt do it.

Shivering New Yorkers looking to escape the winter weather can respite without hopping on a plane to a tropical destination. Inside a raw space at 25 Kent (in the same space the groundbreaking street art exhibition was last year), digital mixed media artist Anne Spalter brings a tropical oasis to New York City with an immersive installation that transports visitors away from the cold streets of New York City to a surreal warm weather locale.

With real plants, Adirondack chairs to lounge in, the soothing sound of ocean waves, outlet banks and giant spheres that depict abstract summery scenes, Vacation Planet offers a place to relax and recharge and warm up. Untapped New York Insiders got to experience the installation and talk with Anne Spalter about how it came about.

Spalter, who lives in Brooklyn, can see 25 Kent from her apartment. While driving past one day, she noticed that the space, which is currently occupied by Wallplay, a platform that programs and operates vacant spaces with commercial pop-ups and art exhibitions, was taking submissions for an installation. Wanting to create an environment that was completely different from what is going on outside, Spalter filled the 8,300 square foot space with sun-emulating washer lights, real palm trees, lush greenery, and jute carpets to bring a natural tropical feeling to the industrial space.

The most striking component of the installation is the array of massive floating spheres. The spheres are arranged on the ground, on the ceiling and everywhere in between to create a fully immersive environment and to appear as if they were thrown into the space. One Insider pointed out on our tour, they appeared as if they got there as a result of the Big Bang. The spheres range in size from three to sixteen feet in diameter and each is named after a different planet.

The surface of each sphere is covered in a print made with algorithm-based digital reworks of footage that Spalter captured in vacation locales like Miami Beach. Spalter, who says all of her pieces start with a travel experience, made use of hi-tech camera equipment which allowed her to capture images that are 8,000 pixels wide. The footage is intentionally unidentifiable in terms of location, and meant to evoke a surreal quality. You can still make out beach umbrellas, kids playing in a pool, palm trees and other vacation staples.

Working with a programmer, Spalter created a plugin that allowed her to manipulate various parameters of the footage and create the kaleidoscopic images you see. Some of the spheres are covered in imagery from Santa Fe. There, Spalter captured footage of weather formations like storm clouds, rain and sunshine.

Visitors are invited to sit down and hang out as long as they want within the installation. There is free Wi-Fi, and each of the six seating areas has its own power strip. Guests can also enjoy three custom Instagram Stories filters featuring animated versions of the spheres. When visitors follow @annespalter, the Vacation Planet filters will automatically show up as swipe-able options in the Stories feature on the most updated version of the Instagram app. Speaking about the installation, Spalter noted, I can talk about it in fine art speak, but its also accessible. You can be a kid or someone who didnt study fine art and you can come in a see thats the ocean. Everyone can get something out of it. It works on any level.

Vacation Planet is free and open to the public from 11am through 7pm on Wednesday through Sunday until February 23rd.

There are a lot of great reasons to go green.

Maybe you want an all-natural home free of contaminants, to protect your familys health. Maybe you want to use renewable materials to protect the planet. No matter your motivations, Patrice Raven and Garry Lozon at Kelownas Impression Floors are here to help.

A lot of people arent aware of the eco-friendly flooring options available, Lozon says.

And you dont have to sacrifice comfort or quality to go green. Here are four flooring solutions that will help your home in more ways than one:

1. Super-soft carpets made from recycled plastic bottles

Impression Floors is excited about Tryesse Carpets, and not just because theyre eco-friendly.

Its really soft, Lozon says, And its made to last.

Recycled plastic bottles are spun into a long, continuous filament, which means theres no shedding.

The really cool thing is that it doesnt absorb like other carpets. It cleans really easily.

Pets, wine, and other stains dont stand a chance on this carpet. People dont believe them at first, but Raven encouraged one customer to take home a sample.

She tried it at home and then bought a whole bunch!

2. Natural New Zealand wool carpets

Not only is wool renewable and all-natural, it also absorbs household air pollutants and is naturally stain-resistant.

You can sink your feet into luxury and know that at the end of your carpets lifespan you can save it from the landfill because wool is biodegradable.

Wool carpets are more expensive, but for customers who have the budget its a worthwhile investment. Wool is a quality product and at Impression Floors well install it with care. All our customers want is a quality product and a job well done, Lozon says.

3. Ethically sourced hardwood flooring with an all-natural finish

Impression Floors only carries hardwood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, which means the wood comes from responsibly managed forests. Their eco-friendly wood products are free of chemical contamination and wont release pollutants into the air.

Green flooring also uses an all-natural oil finish.

You never need to sand them, Lozon says, You just oil the high-traffic areas when the texture starts to change. You dont have to do the whole floor.

4. Luxury vinyl

More and more vinyl is made from recycled materials, and its built to last the less frequently you have to replace your flooring, the better for the planet. Impression Floors works with some Canadian manufacturers who are focused on reducing their energy consumption during production.

GREGGS is the next retailer set to open at the Westbrook Centre.

The popular shopping centre has enjoyed a regeneration over the past year, including a remodelling of the car park and a renovation of the Asda store.

Subway opened a branch in the former Hair Shop unit during 2019, while the Odeon cinema enjoyed a revamp including the installation of recliner seats.

Independent retailers such as Willows Womenswear have also moved into the Westbrook Centre recently.

And Greggs is the latest name set to call Westbrook home.

The bakery giant is due to move into the unit formerly occupied by Westbrook Carpets and Laminates near to the entrance of the supermarket.

Job applications for shop supervisor roles in its new store at Warrington Westbrook are currently being advertised on its website.

Planned opening hours of 7am to 6pm are also stated.

Work to transform the unit is currently underway, although an opening date is not yet known.

Westbrook Carpets and Laminates previously moved into what was Blockbuster in spring 2019 after 20 years in its former home.

ROAD bosses have apologised after revealing road closures in Witham town centre will remain in place for longer than expected.

Essex Highways has confirmed work on installing new traffic signal equipment in Newland Street will not finish by the original Monday, February 10, deadline due to 'unexpected issues'.

Both Collingwood Road and Maldon Road have been partially closed since Monday, January 13, to allow workman to improve traffic lights at the junctions with Newland Street.

Diversions have been in place and work was expected to take only four weeks.

However, Essex Highways has now confirmed work will take a week longer and be completed by Sunday, February 16.

A spokesman said: "Works to renew the traffic signal equipment begun as planned. In addition to the planned works, we have undertaken remedial works to sunken paving blocks within the crossing carpets, which was not originally part of the proposed works.

"We have also worked collaboratively with utility companies to utilise the road space and repaired a damaged manhole cover.

"Unfortunately, due to unexpected issues arising the programme has been affected and the completion date of the works is delayed.

"We are working hard to try to complete the works as soon as possible.

"We would like to apologise for the delay and thank residents and businesses for their patience and co-operation while we complete these works."

Workers have been installing underground cable ducts and new extra low voltage equipment to reduce the carbon footprint of the traffic lights in Newland Street.

Temporary traffic lights have been put in place and parts of Collingwood and Maldon roads closed to 'ensure the safety' of workers.

In January, Essex Highways said the closures would help reduce the time taken to complete the works and to keep congestion to a minimum.

Access for residents and pedestrians have been been maintained at all times.

A temporary pedestrian crossing has also be set up in Newland Street.

The Great Recession took its toll on Washington County, with unemployment above 10% when the decade started in 2010 and the fast-paced growth of the 2000s slowed to a virtual standstill.

But the decade ended with a bang. The growth returned, long-dormant development projects were revived and now, as the 2020s begin, economic forecasts see nothing but steady growth on the horizon.

A new report from real estate company NAI Excel outlines the changes different economic sectors haveseen since 2010, and the picture is clear the 2010s may have started slowly, but the once they got going, they haven't looked back.

Vacancy rates for leasable commercial and industrial areas, along with multi-family housing units, fell to below 5% in much of the city by the middle part of the decade as the economy sped back up. Then, in more recent years, the demand for more space drove an onslaught of new construction.

Many new construction projects were completed or started in the last few years of the decade, and even moreprojects are on the horizon.

In the last twoyears, Washington County has added 552 multifamily housing units, reviving a segment of the housing mix that had been nearly nonexistent in the first part of the decade.

In 2016 and 2017, some student housing was added. But before 2018, there was almost no construction of multifamily housing in the county.

Vacancy rates hit a low point in 2016 at less than 1%. However, 2018 and 2019 brought more multifamily projects to the area, and the vacancy rate has climbed slightly since then, measuring at3.2% at the end of 2019.

Bigger, faster: Report pegs Southern Utah for 7 million sq ft of new development in 2020s

Still, despite the newly completed projects, like Grayhawk and Retreat at Sky Mountain,asking rent is on the rise. Asking rent for a two-bedroom hovered around $648 for apartments at the beginning of the decade. Now the average asking price is over $1,000.

Discussions around "attainable housing" St. George and Washington Countys rebranding of affordable housing has been ongoing, and some housing projects slated in Washington County will be considered "attainable" for some lower-income workers, a segment of the community that has been largely starved of living spaces they could find affordable.

Southern Utah's retail markets have taken a hit due to online shopping much like the rest of the country. Retail meccas like Red Cliffs Mall and K-mart complex on Bluff Street have seen major renovations and changes in recent years.

Yet, despite the tumultuous decade for retail, around 1.1 million square feet of retail space was added to the county since 2010. Projects like Red Rock Commons, Smiths, Harmons and Lins added significantly to the retail market.

Asking lease rates for retail space is up to $17.50 per square foot, rising from $12.72 in 2010. Vacancy rates declined 3.5 percentage pointsover the last 10 years, with the current rates at 4.3%.

The NAI report states that as major retailers are slow to expand, concepts around retail shopping are evolving. Already, big construction projects like Commerce Pointe and retail in Washington Fields are under construction. The report projects retail growth along the Southern Corridor and near exits 2, 13 and 16 off of I-15 in the next 10 years.

In Iron County, vacancy rates for retail space hovered around 6-8% throughout the decade. However, at the end of 2019, rates dipped to 2.2%. Lease rates for Iron County also didnt see much significant changeover the decade, with asking lease rates around $13.00 per square foot.

Vacancy rates and asking rent prices for office space in Washington County have beenon the rise in recent years. However, the decade started with a peak in vacancy rates at 16.7%, dropping to its low in 2017, but on an upward turn now at 4.4%.

Asking lease rates have steadily increased from around $4 a square foot in 2010 to almost $14 in 2019.

The move and expansion of the Intermountain Hospital campus to River Road had the biggest impact on the office market. The old campus located off of 400 East, has made the medical office vacancy rate almost 16%.

The number of square feet of office space added this past decade was tepid, according to the report. And even though traditional office space construction was down, the construction of emergency care, assisted living, education, government and other special-use facilities are significant, the report states.

Iron Countys asking lease rates rose to an average of about $12.00 per square rate. At the same time, vacancy rates fell most of the decade, and are now around 2.2% for office space.

From 2010 to 2016, just three hotels were added to Washington and Iron counties. That changed dramatically over the last two years, though,with1,800 rooms addedas part of21 total projects.

The report states hotel operators are finding occupancy rates and revenue per available room are falling, despite the past few years of record highs.

The number of hotels built in Washington and Iron counties have had spurts of growth over the last 50 years. However, between 2017 and 2019, numbers reached their all-time highs.

Around 2.3 million square feet of industrial space was added over the last decade and more than 15% of it was completed in 2019. Eleven industrial projects were completed in 2019 alone, the biggest one being phase one of the Paparazzi facility, and phase two, which is under construction, will be more than double the size of the first one.

The average asking lease rates have almost doubled since 2010, with prices at $8.60 per square foot for buildings under 20,000 square feet and $6.60 for larger buildings. As asking lease rates have skyrocketed, vacancy rates have dropped from 14% to 5%, with the low point in 2017 at 2%. Vacancy rates for spaces smaller than 20,000 square feet are at 1.3%, with new, larger facilities driving up the rate.

Around 353,000 square feet of industrial space was added in 2019, bringing the total, county-wide, to over 10.4 million square feet.

Following a similar pattern as Washington, Iron County saw average industrial lease rates fall during the first few years of the decade and are now on an upward climb. The county started or completed six industrial or storage projects last year. However, there is still very limited availability for industrial space in the county now though, with vacancy rates less than 1%.

Prices keep rising as new construction continues across Southern Utah - The Spectrum

By: Michael Young 8:00 am on February 2, 2020

Construction has reached street level at 148 East 78th Street, a 205-foot-tall residential projectat the corner of East 78th Street and Lexington Avenueon Manhattans Upper East Side. Progress has been swift sinceYIMBY last stopped by the sitein mid-September, when work on the foundations was just beginning. Now a large array of steel rebar await the imminent concrete pour for the ground-floor slab. Designed by Ismael Leyva Architectsand developed byMidwood Management Corp., theproperty will yield 26 residences averaging 2,600 square feet apiece.

The building features a classically inspired design that harkens back to the New York of the early 20th century. With its large stone paneling, brick walls, thick ornamental cornices, dark metal railings, and stone balustrades, the structure will blend seamlessly into the architectural fabric of the Upper East Side.

The project will contain 68,293 square feet of residential space and 3,739 square feet of ground-floor retail area.The address is just one block to the north of the 77th Street subway station, serviced by the 6 train, and less than ten minutes to the east of Central Park across Fifth Avenue.

148 East 78th Street is stated for completion in spring 2021.
