I'm buying a house and need to replace the carpet currently in it. I can't get an estimate on it until I close so I'm looking to get a ball park number. I need to replace about 800 sqft. What price am I looking at to get wood laminate put in verus mid-grade carpet. Thanks.
A mid grade carpet (3$ a s/f) will go in at 2400$ +- .. And laminates 2.5 a s/f for the laminate 2$ a s/f for installation. This will be about 3600$. Now the carpet price can be done at that price for a regular residential carpet and standard pad ( 5 1/2 # minimum) that will hold your warranties. Now these prices won t include any rip out and removal of the existing carpet or un seen floor prep. You may be able to get rip out included if some one wants the work, because of the economy.. Or save your self money by getting a beer and or pizza pal to help you for a day and rip out the carpet yourself.. Any flooring questions you can e mail me through my avatar.. GL
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.
