Cost of carpet installation

[veees]

Hello,

i am trying to estimate the cost of removing old carpet/ putting the padding and carpet for three bedroom (13x 15, 13×13, 13×13)ft the pathway and the stairs. using homedepot calcualtor (http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/THDCalcCarpet), this comes to approximately 100 sq yd…so if I choose a berber carpet, at $7SY the cost would be $700, and say $500 for installation? Is this correct?

Also , can forum members give me recommendations for carpet installer in the carmel valley/ rancho penasquitos area..I can’t get the carpet installers to see the house for few more days…Is it possible for installers to give rough estimate with just the dimensions?

thanks

Home Depot ironically installs carpet for $139, any size, any carpet, any home. It is right on the carpet section of the website.

Obviously you must buy the carpet & padding from Home Depot to get the price.

Oh boy do I have something to say on this topic.

I’ve had carpet installed in several houses I’ve owned and have learned the hard way: if it is a house you will be keeping and living in for any length of time, don’t scrimp on the quality of the carpet or installation.

This last go-round we bought the highest quality carpet we could find and have not been sorry…it is holding up very very well.

The thing that I want to shout to the world, though, is to make SURE your installers use a power stretcher to install the carpet…ask them before they install the carpet and I would suggest that you write right on the sales contract “Carpet to be installed using a power stretcher”.

Every time we had a carpet installed with a knee kicker, we were very sorry in 12 to 24 months. It is a dumb, dumb way to install carpets. Within two years, we had to have the carpets stretched at over $100 each time they came out (all rooms didn’t get carpet wrinkles at the same time, so we had to call them out several times and move the furniture out of the room needing stretching).

We’ve been very happy with the salesmen and installers from A1 Factory Direct on Rancheros Road which is where we bought this last time – and they use power stretchers! Probably not the cheapest, but in my opinion the best.

And no, I don’t personally know any of them nor do I have any ownership or financial interest in the store. I’m just a customer of theirs.

Ask asianautica. He recently did some remodelling. I recommended a carpet place called Bonded Carpets… Not sure if he ended up going there…
