"How
Much Does New Carpet Cost?"
So many homeowners are totally in the dark about how much
new carpet might cost that I have devoted a special page to fully
answering this question for homeowners.
Most consumers are concerned most about the final Carpet
Cost including the cost of all the extra charges for padding and
installation. Depending on who you buy carpet from, some big box retailers
run specials on carpet padding or carpet installation and then hit you with
hefty extra fees and charges that you were not expecting.
While it may be convenient to shop for carpets at a home
improvement warehouse, it may not be the best way to go. I never recommend
big box retailers for consumers who want to get a fair and square deal on
new carpet and I never recommend any nationally advertised shop-at-home
retailers.
There are plenty of locally-owned carpet retailers that
are willing to bring samples to your home if that’s what you would like,
but I think shop-at-home carpet dealers with repetitious commercials
on TV offering huge savings do not cater to well-informed consumers in
search of a fair and square deal on new carpet or flooring.
Homeowners need access to honest and complete answers to
carpet questions and typically want to know how long their new carpet
will last and how much new carpet will cost without any surprises.
I
have found that most consumers do not choose the right carpet quality, and
therefore end up with a carpet that is incapable of lasting as
long as they hope or anticipate.
The question is…how much should you really spend on new
carpet? So many factors are involved in the best case scenario to make a
sound judgment…
