Hi! I'm going to replace approximately 700 sq. ft. of carpet.

We're going to get estimates tomorrow.

Anyone want to take a stab at how much it will be?

1. $2800

That was me using my replacement cost method that I use in appraising. :hi:

2. Depends on the type of carpet...

I could do it with paper towels for $12.95.

They're on special over at the retail store.

3. LOL... toilet paper might be nicer

Extra squeezable Charmin is sort of like plush carpet, right?

4. No more carpet in my home

Tile hardwood laminate or vinyl

10. Hear, hear.

Hard floors are expensive, but *so* much easier to live with.

5. $1650

8. I bet Larry Lint could do it for less....cuz...

his slogan is...

We lay only the best!!!!


<>

a guy who sells carpet...and his name is Lint!!!

hahahaha


but on a serious note...he is the best dealer and installer in my area...he has laid all my floors...

9. Figure on paying $2500 to $3000 if you get anything decent

A lot of carpet is made from recycled PET plastic--soda bottles--so get that. You need 77 yards of carpet.

Add the carpet, the pad, the tack strips and seam tape, plus labor...it adds up quick.
