What is the average cost per square foot to install carpet and pad?

Answer 1

How much a foot for carpet

Mark Twain said that "One foot on fire & one foot on ice & on AVERAGE your pretty comfortable" I share his view that average is a pretty illusionary tool when it comes to being really useful.

There is no one price, & no one quality, could be junk for about a buck a sq ft or premium stuff for $6-10 or more a foot.

Here's a good rule of thumb, assuming you shop for value and don't over pay..

Expect 5 years of good service for every $1 you spend on carpet, (not pad or labor) per foot.

$1 buck/ sq /ft= <5 years of good service

$2 buck Sq/ Ft= <10 years & so on..

the warranty will be for more than my estimation but warranties on flooring are not worth the paper they are written on..

Most stores offer free estimates so what does that cost you to have someone put an actual product with an actual quote.. you can always say no thanx

$20 per yard = 2.22 per sq foot.
