I wouldn’t touch Home Depot for carpet or anything that required much customer service especially responsibility for quality and details. If the Home depot price is lower see if costco will match the quote.I don’t know if they do that? I am buying materials to build a house now. When I ask for price quotes, almost every store is letting me know they will bid aggressively or in some cases just discounting stuff so I will go back.
We recently bought Shaw carpet and are very happy with it. I bought it at a discount flooring store in Lemon Grove.
