How much does it cost to install new carpeting?<\/h2>\n

The Labor cost to install carpet is between $2.50 to $4.50<\/strong> per square foot, with many paying an average cost of $3.50 per square ft. A typical 10\u00d712 room<\/strong> in Indianapolis cost $4.20<\/strong>. If you have stairs, the cost to install carpet on stairs is $3 to $7 per step<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Understanding Common Sales tactics:<\/h3>\n

We see the commercials all of the time \u2013 50% off \/or free carpet installation. But does it really mean \u201cfree\u201d and 50% off of what? These are advertisement tactics are used all of the time to lure you in and buy from these big box giants \u2013 many of which have hidden fees behind these freebies.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no such thing as \u201cfree installation\u201d and I\u2019m going to show you how it\u2019s done and how they get their extra\u2019s to cover their installation cost:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  • Removing and discarding charges <\/strong>this extra charge might cost you roughly $1-2.00 per square yard to remove and discard old carpeting and padding.<\/li>\n
  • Cutting Fees <\/strong>Do you have any jogs or different angles or closets in your room? This fee might run an additional $0.75-1.50 per foot.<\/li>\n
  • Furniture <\/strong>If you are unable to remove any furniture or decor, there\u2019s an extra charge to move and return all furnishings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    When you take into consideration of the fee\u2019s above, the term \u201cFree carpet installation\u201d doesn\u2019t seem to free. It\u2019s always important to get everything down in writing before hiring a professional carpet installer.<\/p>\n

    Carpet Cost breakdown<\/h2>\n

    For easy to follow numbers, we are going to price a room measuring 12\u2019ft. by 10\u2019ft. (120 sq. ft.) to get you the average cost to install carpeting for this project include:<\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    1. Carpet Selection: <\/strong>Carpeting can cost as little as $2.50-5.50 per sq. ft.<\/strong> for cheap to mid-range carpet, up to $6-10.00\/Sq ft. for top grade carpeting. So with Carpeting and padding, the cost can run up to $1,200.00 for materials<\/strong> alone.<\/li>\n
    2. Professional installation cost: <\/strong>Labor costs typically run in the neighborhood of $1-2.00 per square foot to install carpet with padding. Excluding extra\u2019s such as: Tack strips, removing old carpet and padding and disposal. The total labor cost amount to: $100 \u2013 200.00<\/strong> per 12\u2019ft. by 10\u2019ft. (120 sq. ft.) room.<\/li>\n
    3. Other factors that affect prices: <\/strong>Fixing high spots in your floors, or squeaky flooring. Installing tact strips, installing new thresholds between doors. Replacing baseboard or door trim. The level of complexity due to different angles in the room. Try to factor in an extra 10-15%<\/strong> for these extra expenses.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

      Carpet \u2013 Pricing and Installation Cost Checklist<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Expect the Carpet prices to fluctuate between various companies \u2013 each and every company have different operation expenses and over-head.<\/li>\n
      • Try to get prices in late Fall, early winter \u2013 you should expect aggressive pricing discounts by waiting for a contractor\u2019s down season.<\/li>\n
      • Try to budget and additional 7-15% more on top of what our calculator gives out to Carpet cost.<\/li>\n
      • Carpet isn\u2019t an easy task to perform and can leave you with a sore back. You might find it more cost effective to hire a Flooring Contractor, or a General Contractor to perform the work for you. Flooring contractors and General Contractors will most always get better prices on Carpet Flooring products \u2014 saving your back any additional costs of the flooring repair, so shop around, ask your neighbors if they can recommend someone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
