I want to ask my mom if I can put carpet in my room, because right now its hardwood. We live where it gets cold, so it would be nice to walk on in the winter. It also more comfortable to walk on, and would look better. How much would it cost to carpet my room if its about 13 by 13 foot?
Carpet has a wide range of prices, depending on what it is made of and the quality. Go to carpet stores in your area and look at the prices. Don't forget that you will need an underlay, plus the price of installation. If the price is out of reach for the moment, get a large rug and put it next to your bed.
Measure your room and figure out how big of a rectangle would work. Assume that you would leave a little space around the edges (maybe 6-12?). Go to carpet stores and ask about remnants in the size you need. They always have leftovers from carpeting jobs and are more than happy to sell them. Some may already be bound at the edge, others may need to be bound and you would have to pay for that. You can install a remnant by just rolling it out. You could add a pad underneath as well, but it is not necessary.
How much does carpeting cost? I want to ask my mom if I can put carpet in my room, because right now its hardwood. We live where it gets cold, so it would be nice to walk on in the winter. It also more comfortable to walk on, and would look better. How much would it cost to carpet my room if its about 13 by 13 foot? What weave, texture, construction, padding needed, who will install? You can not just say ask how much for a rug. You must learn to communicate more specifically with your audience. Might be nice to know the country you live in because Yahoo is global and you could be in new zealand for all we know. Yes! Prices are a lot different from country to country. Also specify what kind of carpet? If you do some work on your own to figure out what exactly you want before you ask how much, you would already know how much. Based on the parameters you provided, you can expect answers to run from ridiculous to insightful. But you will not get what you need to convince your mom to spend money she works hard to earn on a rug instead of food or rent. Have you even considered an area rug? Do you require wall to wall? Use your question here as a homework assignment and teach yourself basic research skills. With your computer and an internet connection, there is absolutely nothing you can not find out for yourself by doing some basic research. Then, you will be answering questions rather than asking them. If you give a person a fish, they will eat today. If you teach that person to fish, they can feed their family. I wish I could answer your question. Instead, I offer you some advice that I hope you take to heart.
Just a basic carpet itself costs in the 2.50/3.50 $ a s/f installed with a pad. Your room is an odd size for carpet so you can t do just by the s/f..Since carpet comes 12' wide you can get a 12x 12 cut off any roll carpet as low as 99 cents a s/f. Or small area rugs, place where you walk is a cheaper option if you can t afford full wall to wall carpet. Plus small area rugs won t ruin hardwood in the long run to keep the house value higher..
