OT: Carpeting?

[Coronita]

I went to a place called bonded carpet

http://www.bondedcarpet.com/

Though they are primarily for commercial sales (large volume), they use to do individual retail sales too.

At the time, they had the best price on a specific carpet we wanted to get: Stainmaster Xtra Life Tactesse- Washington Square Ivory, which is a soft berber type carpet.

I think they were doing this for about $30/sqyard include padding and installation, while other places were asking for $33-36/sqyard for the carpet alone (no padding no,install). You could haggle with them as well. They have flooring too, though I didn't put any new wood down. Install was great (not that it's that hard to begin with ). Carpet is great, except with a 2 year old, I sort of regret the Ivory color decision.

That was about 4 years ago though, I don't know if they are still selling to consumers directly.

I think normal home depot was a waste of time, because the carpets were expensive and the quality wasn't too good. You have better luck browsing at the Home Depot "Expo", though again price was ridiculously high. Just note the brand, color, and manufacturer sku, and go to other carpet places to compare.

Try Bill at Quantum carpet. 619-562-6263.

I can’t believe how little he charges for installs.

Doesn’t even have a showroom. He sends you to a wholesaler to pick out the carpet. That way, you get good prices on carpet and the install.

If you have particular carpet you want, you may be able to buy just the carpet at the retail store and have him install it. Ask him how to get it wholsesale, though he may not know.

He’s used to dealing with people who know what they want. Don’t expect to be a typical flaky retail customer and waver back and forth or expect hand-holding. Though, he does have smart suggestions sometimes.

Have him measure and give you an estimate.
Go pick your carpet.
Pick out your pad.
Say “go” and it’s that simple.
