"The company responded very fast to my request for new carpeting. The gentleman arrived within 4 days to give an estimate, which was actually VERY reasonable compared to other estimates! The crew arrived to carpet my living room and three bedrooms within one week of the estimate (total time for the entire process including the request for work/estimate/completion-less than 2 weeks). I did have to schedule a follow-up to correct a few small errors (tack strip with exposed tacks-and two spots where the carpet did not connect flush with the wall). Repair work was a little slower than the original job, a total of three weeks to get the repairs-which was finished in less than 2 hours. All in all, I am very pleased with this LOCAL company and the final project is very nice. I WILL consider this company for any future carpet work I require."

"Huey showed up on time and did an excellent job. Additionally, they cleaned up after the job and all for a competitive price. After meeting with several contractors, Hueys honesty and integrity stood out for me. I would highly recommend Huey?s and will definitely use them for any flooring needs in the future."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Installation typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the area size and preparation needed.

When choosing whether to install carpet in your home, consider the pros and cons of this change:

Pros

  • More affordable than laminate flooring

  • Gives the room a warmer feel

  • Softer on feet

  • Wide variety of textures and colors

  • Hides dirt easily

  • Faster and easier to install

Cons

  • Shows wear and tear more quickly than laminate flooring

  • Shows stains

  • Soaks up liquids

  • May not work well in some areas, such as a bathroom

  • Less durable than laminate flooring

  • Susceptible to water damage, mold, and mildew

Yes, you can negotiate the purchase price of new carpet. You may also be able to negotiate installation costs or other fees in addition to the per-foot pricing of the carpet itself. You may have better luck negotiating with an independent retailer (as opposed to a big-box store), as they may have more discretion in pricing, but it’s always worth asking.

The average cost to install new flooring is around $3,162, with a typical price range between $1,530 and $4,860. On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay an average of $3 to $22, including installation. Several factors influence the total price, including the flooring material, project size, geographic location, and any special features. Material choice is a significant cost driver; vinyl plank, linoleum, and carpet are on the lower end ($3 to $7 per square foot), while stone, tile, and hardwood are more expensive, with hardwood reaching up to $22 per square foot. Prices can also vary by region, and installing flooring on stairs will add to the cost, typically ranging from $11 to $160 per step.

If you want your carpet to last as long as possible, then yes, you need to install carpet padding. Carpet padding creates a layer of protection between the back of your carpet and the floor beneath it, which decreases friction and reduces wear and tear. Aside from that, carpet padding also helps absorb noise and makes your carpet feel more comfortable underfoot.
