My numbers could be completely off and again this wasn't a firm quote anyway. I didn't get prices at Home Depot, just looked around. Not sure if that makes a difference in costs. The carpet store gave me a roundabout verbal quote on 350 sq feet with install and padding for about $1500 ( I think the carpet was around 3.50 sq/ft with 20% off?). I had limited time and the salesman did too. The first two inquiries I made were brief. I am going to lowes and a different carpet store today to see more about it. Yet, I don't want to skimp on style/quality. Unfortunately I have to get this done fast and don't want to wait the extra time without carpet. Best of luck to you.Ĭompletely Floored, I see where you are coming from and tend to gravitate to the flooring specialty stores too but they can't get things in for me in time. You are welcome to send me your quote from any store, I will review and tell you if you are getting a good deal. Often they can get the install sooner if you find decent material in stock. See if you have a "stocking dealer" in your area. Not there fault but lack of training and time in the industry plays a major role. The people behind the counter tell a great deal of miss-information. That's where the low install prices are made up. They mark up there pad astronomically, the have a lot of "extra" charges that a lot of "professional" flooring stores do not. Because I am a business owner and am also in the business of educating my customers I will tell you simple facts: The box stores do not pay there installers nothing or 37.00 to install the carpet nor would we. It is simply a play on numbers especially if they are offering a free or 37.00 install etc. In most cases we are exactly the same but our installers are being shown as paid what they really get and deserve. I have a hundred Home Depot and Lowes carpet quotes from customers who bring them in to see if we can beat there price. I have been in the flooring business for a long time.
