When shopping for carpet, you’ll likely see advertisements for free installation. It sounds like a great deal, but is it? We want to share some information on how to figure the cost of installation along with your new carpet purchase.
If we’re being honest, free anything is a great marketing tactic. Especially right now when the price of materials and labor has increased so much. Free labor is a great way to entice a buyer.
However, nothing is truly free. Installers are not giving away the labor; the cost of labor will be hidden in other ways. Typically, the price of the materials will be adjusted to make up for this.
As experts in the flooring industry, we often see the price of carpet or cushion being inflated to hide the cost of “free” labor. When you compare prices from more than one store, it’s important to compare bottom line to bottom line.
While you may find lower-cost options, consider the value you receive. We understand price is important, but we believe in delivering exceptional results that translate to significant benefits for you.
Here’s how our service provides a strong return on your investment:
- Carpet One stores have a lifetime warranty on the installation.
- We also have our own installers, and we handle and warranty the product and installation.
- We prioritize clear communication and ongoing support throughout the entire process. You’ll have a dedicated team readily available to answer questions and address any concerns promptly.
- Carpet One has a Beautiful Guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with your flooring selection, we’ll replace it for free* (no marketing gimmicks here). It’s a stress-free process, ensuring ease in decision-making.
Hopkins Carpet One may not be the least expensive in terms of labor; however, we stand behind our installers and make sure you are happy with the results. Whether it’s the day of installation or two years later, our service team will be here for you and make every effort to resolve any concerns.
If you are trying to get a base price on installation to start your budget, an average would be $2.00 per square foot for installation. This also includes pulling up and disposing of any existing carpet. Of course, depending on your space and other factors, the installation price can be higher or lower.
When shopping for carpet, just be sure you do your due diligence to get the most accurate price for the material and installation. Also keep in mind that you often get what you pay for. So, the cheapest alternative may not be the best in the long run.
At Hopkins Carpet One, we prioritize quality products and service for optimal customer satisfaction. Please keep us in mind when you are searching for new carpet to install in your home or business.
