Carpet Prices
What Carpet Price Are You Paying ?
When you go out shopping for carpet at different carpet stores, you will find a variety of carpet pricing options on the market. Square Foot carpet prices, Square Yard carpet prices, carpet prices including pad, installed carpet prices including carpet, pad, and installation, and some times you will find carpet priced by the lineal foot or yard. Now, How confusing can they make it for you to shop and compare "apples to apples" when you are trying to compare carpet prices from different carpet stores? Here is a basic guide to comparing carpet prices so that you will have a little better idea what price you are actually paying for the carpet you choose.
When you go out shopping for carpet, you should have a rough quantity of carpet that you think you will need. For starters, you can use a square footage figure based on the LENGTH x WIDTH of the rooms you are carpeting. Measure each room and multiply LENGTH x WIDTH to calculate the square footage of that room. Add these room measurements together, and add 10% for waste. This will give you a rough Square Foot number to start shopping. Now, if the stores use square yard pricing, simply divide the Square Footage by 9 to get the square yards you will need.
Now that you have a rough idea of the amount of carpet you will need to buy, you are ready to start shopping. Take a legal pad with you so you can take notes. Write the name of each store where you shop at the top of the page. When discussing your job with a carpet salesman, make note of the MANUFACTURER, STYLE NAME & NUMBER, COLOR NAME & NUMBER of each carpet that you REALLY like. If the prices include pad, ask what type of pad and make note of this. Try to see a sample of the pad so you can compare these as well.
After shopping at a few stores, you will begin to notice a few carpets that you seem to favor more than the others.
