My wife and I were very pleased with the services provided by Premier Flooring. Tim and Todd were very accommodating in helping us to find the best carpeting for our home at a very extremely competitive price. While Premier Flooring has a small shop compared to others, they can provide you with about any brand or type of flooring product.  But, the most important part of any flooring project is the installation, and Todd the installer was exceptional.  We chose carpeting with a pattern without knowing it requires a little extra effort to make sure the pattern lines up correctly.  Fortunately, Todd had the experience and pride of workmanship to make sure the splices all lined up correctly.  Even though the project took more time than originally anticipated, Todd didn't cut corners just to get it. done, and that reflects what he knows is the expectation of the owner.  What really matters is when it is all done and your wife turns to you and says  "Honey, this really exceeded all my expectations!".

"We all know how bad traffic patterns can show on light carpeting. We were a year over due having ours cleaned, due to covid. Mine now look like new again! So very pleased. Carpets dried rapidly. They were such nice people. Will definitely call them again!"

"Called Steve about carpet tear-out and install luxury vinyl plank, he was very professional. He was out-of-town so he could not come himself, but sent his guys. Alabama and Chris came over to my house, we made a deal and they started right away. They did a great job, and we love our new floors and would use them again for all of our flooring needs. Thanks a lot, guys! A great job!"

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

Some flooring companies recycle old carpet after replacing it. The broader flooring industry has been moving toward recycling more carpet material. However, whether an individual carpet gets recycled is up to the flooring company that removes it. When gathering quotes for new flooring in your area, ask each company about removal options and what they do with the material.

Depending on carpet type and labor, costs range from $3 to $12 per square foot.

The cost to install carpet is $1,780 on average for 330 square feet, the size of an average living room. This cost could range from $200 to $5,000, depending on the amount of carpet, material, and type of carpet. 

If you need 500 square feet of carpet, it’ll cost $1,500 to $5,500, while 1,000 square feet of carpet costs $3,000 to $11,000. Polyester is one of the more affordable options, ranging from $1 to $3 per square foot. Wool is a more luxurious option, ranging from $4 to $20 per square foot

A 65-oz. carpet is good, and in many cases, it indicates a premium carpet. Most carpets for homes should fall in the range of 40 to 60 ounces for face weight. If a carpet has a 65-oz. face weight, it is likely more durable and long-lasting than a similar carpet with a lower face weight. Carpet face weight is just one factor in determining a carpet’s quality. 

While it is possible to install carpet yourself, it is a challenging DIY project that requires precise measurement, proper cutting skills, and knowledge of correct installation techniques. The process involves multiple steps, including removing old flooring, installing underlayment and tack strips, and stretching the carpet to prevent wrinkles, which can take several days to complete.

Before starting, consider these factors:

  • Warranty: Many manufacturers' warranties are voided if the carpet is not installed by a professional.

  • Tools: You will need to buy or rent specialized equipment like a knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller.

  • Complexity: DIY installation is most suitable for simple, straightforward rooms. Projects involving stairs or floor vents are significantly more difficult.

  • Cost: While you can save on labor, the cost of tools plus the risk of expensive mistakes—which may require re-installation—can make hiring a professional more cost-effective in the long run.

Given the potential for errors, voided warranties, and the need for special tools, hiring a local carpet installer is often recommended to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.
