Carpet, by the room

Carpet posts four exact tiers. Multiply your square footage by the tier and that is the price: carpet, pad, tack strips, install, take-up and haul-away of the old carpet, tax included.

12 × 12 bedroom, 144 SF

144 SF × $3.82 Basic · $4.50 Premium · $5.50 Elite · $6.50 Ultra
About $550 · $648 · $792 · $936

Most bedrooms land at Premium. Furniture moving, if you want it, is quoted per room from $50.

Whole home, 1,200 SF of carpet

1,200 SF × $4.50 Premium · $5.50 Elite
About $5,400 · $6,600

Bedrooms, hall and a living room in one pass. Stairs are priced separately, below.

Finished basement, 600 SF

600 SF × $4.50 Premium carpet · or 600 SF × $5.00 Essential LVP
About $2,700 carpet · $3,000 LVP

Both work below grade. LVP includes the vapor barrier on the slab; the slab gets a moisture test first. Laminate never goes below grade. More on the basement flooring page.

Carpet tiers and pad details are on the carpet installation page.

LVP, by the level

500 SF main level, Essential. 500 × $5.00 = $2,500 all-in. Plank, underlayment and install, tax included. Essential posts an exact number.
The same level in Signature or Reserve. Signature $5.75 to $7.00 puts it at $2,875 to $3,500. Reserve $7.00 to $8.00 puts it at $3,500 to $4,000. The exact number is set by the plank you pick at the measure, never after.
Replacing carpet with LVP. Conversion prep is $0.75/SF with a $150 minimum: tack strips out, staples pulled, slab scraped clean. On 500 SF that is $375. On a 144 SF bedroom it is the $150 minimum.
The add-ons people actually pick. Quarter round $3.50/LF. Door shave $40 hollow-core, $55 solid. Matching manufacturer transition $125 per opening. Appliance move and reset $35 each. All optional, all quoted before install day.

Tiers, cores and wear layers are on the LVP installation page.

Stairs, by the step

13 carpeted steps, wall-to-wall wrap

13 × $50 Basic · $58 Premium · $68 Elite · $78 Ultra
$650 · $754 · $884 · $1,014

Priced per step by carpet tier, $500 minimum per staircase. Ten steps at Basic is $500, the minimum. Every tier carries a moisture barrier pad on the stairs. Details on the carpet stairs page.

13-step stair runner, 36" wide, on finished stairs

3 LF of width × $4/LF = $12 per step (the minimum) × 13
$156 to install, plus the runner

A runner is a different system from wrapped stairs: a bound piece laid over finished treads on a felt pad. The runner itself is priced from the carpet you pick, with edges bound from $3.50/LF. Details on the stair runner page.

LVP on stairs

$85 per step with a matching nose · $100 with a custom bent nose · $125 per winder
Per step, quoted after the nose is confirmed

Whether a matching nose exists for your plank gets confirmed before it goes on the estimate.

Repairs and rugs, by the job

Carpet restretch

$200 trip minimum · $225 first room · $100 each added room · $75 hall
One room $225 · three rooms and a hall $500

Ripples mean the carpet was knee-kicked when it went in. A restretch fixes it; new carpet is rarely the answer. Patches from $200, $85 each added patch the same trip. Details on the carpet repair page.

8 × 10 custom rug, edge finishing

36 LF of edge × $3.50 binding · $6.50 serging · $22.95 canvas border
$126 bound · $234 serged · about $826 canvas

The carpet itself is priced from the sample you pick. Optional rubber backing $5.95/SF or felt $4.50/SF on the finished rug. Details on the custom rugs page.

Common questions

How much does it cost to carpet a bedroom?
A 12 by 12 bedroom is 144 square feet. At the posted Basic rate of $3.82 that is about $550 all-in. Premium at $4.50 is about $648, Elite at $5.50 about $792, and Ultra at $6.50 about $936. Every one of those numbers includes the carpet, the pad, tack strips, the install, take-up and haul-away of the old carpet, and tax. The exact figure comes off the free measure.
How much does LVP cost for a main level?
A 500 square foot main level at Essential is 500 times $5.00, or $2,500 all-in, with plank, underlayment and install included. Signature runs $2,875 to $3,500 and Reserve $3,500 to $4,000, with the exact number set by the plank you pick at the measure. If carpet is coming up first, conversion prep adds $0.75 a square foot, so $375 on that level.
How much does it cost to carpet stairs?
Carpeted stairs are priced per step by tier: $50 Basic, $58 Premium, $68 Elite, $78 Ultra, with a $500 minimum per staircase. Thirteen steps at Basic is $650, at Premium $754, at Elite $884, at Ultra $1,014. Ten steps at Basic is $500, which is the minimum.
How much does basement flooring cost?
A 600 square foot finished basement in Premium carpet is 600 times $4.50, or $2,700 all-in. The same basement in Essential LVP is $3,000, and the vapor barrier on the slab is included in that number. The slab gets a moisture test before LVP goes down. Laminate is never installed below grade.
How much is a carpet restretch or repair?
Every repair visit carries a $200 trip minimum. A restretch is $225 for the first room, $100 for each added room the same trip, and $75 for a hall. Three rooms and a hall is $500. Patches start at $200, then $85 each for added patches the same trip. A restretch usually saves the carpet; new carpet is rarely the answer to ripples.
Are these prices really all-in?
Yes. Every posted rate is tax-included and covers the material, the pad or underlayment, and the install. The only additions are posted add-ons chosen before install day, like furniture moving from $50 a room or quarter round at $3.50 a linear foot. Nothing gets added mid-job. The figures on this page are the posted rate multiplied by the square footage; the estimate uses the measured number, which is why the measure is free.
