Question:

Carpet estimate?

I want to put new carpet in a room, it is about 12 ft. by 14 ft., I just need the carpet, no install or delivery, about how much would it cost for standard carpet and would I need to replace the padding if there is already some under the old carpet? Thanks

Most carpet places have remnants that size and you could get it for $200 tops. And, yes you can use the old padding if it is not smatched or missing in spots. Also, if you want it bound on all sides, it is probably $25 or so and they do it right away for you while you wait. I would look for carpet outlets or go to a regular big carpet place and ask for the remnants. Look around but you can really find bargains some places.
go to Low's
Finding a remnant of this size should be easy. About $150-$250 depending on quality. Otherwise you need 168 square feet. Multiply that by cost per square foot and that's your cost.
800 sq ft of mid grade carpet installed with better pad $2400 to $3000 800 sq ft of mid grade laminate installed with trim complete $4800 to $5500. If you do the work and install the laminate yourself about $2400 to $3500 for materials.
