I just moved into apartment but not happy with the carpet and I am thinkinag of replacing it before I by furniture! Any eastimat for how long I expect this project should take!?any eastmat for how much it will cost to replace 1000 ft place including removing old carpet!
An empty place the carpet can be done , ripped out and replaced in a day with a 2 man crew. A one person operation may take 2 days. That you can find out when you schedule the job. With rip out , disposal, new carpet and installation, your looking at 3000$ ( +- of course) . This is based on the 1000 s/f you say. This may not be all carpet.. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL
Go to the nearest Home depot - they'll sell you carpeting and installation - which includes removing and replacing the old carpet and padding - for a set fee - usually about 150.00 and you choose your own new carpeting various grades and prices starting at 11.75 per square yard up to 33.00 per yard (1000 sq feet equals - 27.7 sq. yards) and put a 10% down payment on the total job. Remember that anything that you install like permanent carpeting must stay when you vacate the apartment. Unless you plan to stay for a really long time (maybe 15 years - the average life of a carpet) this may not be a great idea! These jobs take usually just one day!
