When a carpet salesman is giving an estimated price to a homeowner, there are a few things they take into consideration before quoting.
Since there a few different factors that affect the prices of carpeting, they have to consider each one before giving a customer a final estimated price.
Here’s how it works.
A Salesman’s Approach to Carpet Prices
As we mentioned before, there are a few factors that affect the pricing on carpet and installation. These factors include:
- Manufacturer
- Product Type
- Room Size
- Installation Services
- Extra Materials and Services
There are all kinds of different flooring manufacturers around the world, all with varying flooring prices.
When carpet and flooring companies get product from the manufacturers and offer their own price on the flooring, they have to take the manufacturer price into consideration.
The type of product you choose will also affect how much you pay for flooring. For example, installing hardwood in a large room will be much more expensive than installing carpet in the same size room.
That being said, the size of your room will also have a great effect on how much product you’ll need, altering the price in the process. You can expect to pay more for a larger room that needs flooring versus a smaller room.
If you’d like to try and get an idea how much product you’ll need and what it will cost, you can get a ballpark price by using our square foot flooring calculator.
Some carpet companies charge for extra services and materials as well like:
- Furniture removal
- Old flooring rip-up
- Haul away
- Labor
- Transition strips
- Carpet tacks
- Stairnose
If you find a company that handles some of these services for free, you’ll save some cash.
Also, check to see how much the extra materials will be before you finalize the deal. You should be first to know about the extra materials you’ll need for a successful install.
