How much to install new carpet?

Question

How much do you think it would cost to install carpet for 600 sq ft?

We are renting, but would have to pay for new carpet out of pocket because we own pets. Sort of the trade off for being allowed to have pets where we rent. It won't be the "best" carpet, but the carpet we have now I would guess is over 15 years old if not older. And is ripping up everywhere. Yuk!

I'm going to look around tomorrow, but I thought maybe some of you might have been there before. :) Thanks!

Answer 1

Your best bet will be to go to Lowes or Homedepot, They will give you the exact price for carpet and installation,  Last week Home depot was running special on installation of new carpet.  Give them a call.

Good Luck  

Answer 2

As I said before. lol

Don't know what grade you are looking for but I usually charge around $18 for a 30 oz Polyester. For Investors I usually knock $2.00 a sq, yd. off. Shop around (yellow pages) Things are slow, I'm sure you can get a good deal.

600 sq. ft. = approx. 67 sq. yds.

Should be able to get something & installed for $1075.00-$1200.00

Answer 3

I worked for a company that had a sub to INSTALL. He charged $4/sq yd to INSTALL  .We bought the carpet, pad and tack strip.  He put it in
