I am about to buy a house but want to install new carpet just wonderin on average how much it costs
Depending on the quality, anywhere from $5 to $50 per yard. Plus pad, plus installation. Start shopping.
Carpet / pad and labor will start out at 2$ a s/f and go up from there depending on the quality of the pad and carpet. At this price it will get you just a low quality carpet w/o warranties and a cheap pad. Check padding out , get a minimum of 5 1/2 # . This will cover your carpet warranties. When you get to the 3$ a s/f then you ll be getting into the carpets with a 5 and 7 years warranties.And these are more of themid range carpets. Watch the warranties, some will offer only stain blockers.Get the anti mat, anti crush protection. Wear warranties are different than the anti mat , anti crush, so watch that. GL
