I need about 1100 sq ft of carpet in the upstairs of my home. 3 bed rooms, 4 closets, one hallway

Anyone have any good experience with carpet installers? I know a lot of people who sell the carpet rape you with using their own installers, anyone know of a company selling quality carpet with good reasonably priced installers? Or is it best to buy carpet on my own and hire an installer?

You might think there are huge savings, i would just pay the 'middle' man to get it all done.

1 stop shop, they carpet guy will YELL at the installers for me and I know who to chase after if shit show fails. I go to the Chinese places on Bridgeport road and they take care of it all. It's fast and easy.

What do you consider to be a reasonable price? What type of carpet are you looking for? Builder-grade low-pile, or something more plush?

We got Beaulieu, medium-pile carpet recently and paid about $2.20/square foot and got it installed for another $2.50/square foot. I think our labour rate was pretty typical, but the price we paid on the carpet was pretty good - even better than a place like the End of the Roll would offer.

probably somthing slightly better than builder grade, probably along the lines of what you got there..

all areas are fairly high traffic so i'm kind of leaning towards a low-pile.. but then the medium feels so much better

Late to the show, but if you're still looking for carpet check this guy out.

Jim has been in the business for 30+ years. Sells everything from new to clearance to EOL carpets.
