They charge 97 dollars for whole house install provided you buy materials from them. I'm curious how this has worked for you?

 

[Jaws]

You get what you paid for.

We use the same carpet installer my grandpa used.

I use a local carpet house. Actually that's what it's called, carpet house. They install for free, but charge a little more for material, but it works out to be close, and they are a local mom and pop store

I wish we had a home depot here. Lowes installs for me for free well used to. But only if I put all the tack strips down for the subs.

I buy my tile and floors from a local store. We used the same store for many years, and they did something to piss me or the old man off a few years ago, cant remember all the details. Switched to a buddy who has a local store.

We still use the same independent installer for the carpet, a tile setter for the floors usually, and a hardwood floor guy. The carpet guy knows how to not mess up walls and base.

He needs to teach my carpet layer that trick.

He needs to teach my carpet layer that trick.

Exactly why he works alone, I imagine. :laughing: There is always a few scuffs, but not all screwed up like I have seen.

He is getting old though. We always pull the rolls in for him.

I dont do much carpet though, mostly hard surfaces.

Don't mean to highjack the thread but isn't carpet used very little these days?I never hardly see it in this area,these days, except for tearing it up.

 

[jlsconstruction]

Usually we put it in bedrooms only, but it goes in phases. We're doing a lot of bamboo now

 

[mako1]

That's the only place I put it in around here and that's going mostly to hardwood or laminate these days.
I don't put it in myself but the customer has my guy do it.That's about the only thing I have never done and don't doing it now.

Used them a few yrs ago. Nice guys, no problems. Good job.

But, you take a gamble with anyone on any given day.
