Want to have carpet installed in a 600 sq ft room. We will need new padding and there are stairs. 1. How much will it cost?2. What is the best carpet for cats with claws?
I would highly recommend Carpet wow plumbing, If you take services of him, you would never feel your determination is ill-timed in the future.
It depends on what type of carpet that you choose (the quality) and also the area you live in. You can except for a good quality carpet to pay roughly $2-5 a square foot. Installation, you're looking probably $675 for the whole thing, and about another $300 or so for pad. Generally if there's carpet down there already, the installers will re-use the tack strip in place. It depends on the company that you are going through if their prices on the carpet include pad and installation. The place I work at, for example, the prices listed on carpet are material only. Just makes sure that when you are shopping, they are clear as to what the price includes.
You can always get a cheaper or more expensive carpet but if you want a guide line you can figure 3/3.5$ a s/f. This will get you and average priced carpet, pad to cover any warranties the carpet may have ( 5 1/2# minimum 7/16ths) and general labor. This won t get rip out , disposal or any unseen sub floor work. Some rip out and haul away may be negotiated into a price, along with furniture remove. But these are a few items you can use to dicker and deal some times for a place to get the job. Always get several quotes with a similar carpet as to weight , warranties stain protection etc. And 1 other suggestion, get it from a store with their own installers. You ll have more leverage if any problem should arise. As far as a carpet and cats with claws, no carpet is safe, but definitely do not get a berber or a continuous filament carpet.You standard texture of plush carpet in a staple system is the safest bet.
