Carpet Installation Costs, Fees and Charges - Nationwide

In different parts of the United States, the current prices for Carpet Installation vary higher or lower depending on the current supply and demand in your area. Right now is a good time to buy new carpet because installation costs are still lower due to the reduced amount of consumer spending on basic home improvements.

Home sales are up since January of 2021 and homeowners are buying new cars in record numbers... and I think carpet installation prices will be steadily increasing from now through 2021 and beyond.

Currently, in the Southern states where the sun is always shining and the water is warm, there is much more competition for jobs and carpet installation prices are typically much lower than in the northern states.

For example, in Miami, Florida you can have carpet installed for less than $3.00 per yard if you shop the service directories of the local newspapers. I’m not saying hiring blindly from the service directory would get you a qualified install, but right now there are plenty of hungry carpet layers in the state of Florida who are willing to work very hard for very little money.

Making sure your carpet installer is qualified is your responsibility. Don’t assume that every carpet installer is qualified to install your carpet. In fact, I firmly believe that less than 35% of all carpet installers are properly trained.

Asking for references and making sure they are licensed, bonded (if required by your state) and insured (business liability) is your responsibility.

Plan to Hire an Independent Carpet Installer?

The states with the lowest carpet installation costs have typically been Florida, Texas and New Mexico. Other southern states like Louisiana, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Arkansas and Southern Arizona have fairly inexpensive carpet labor and installation costs too.

Prices will range from $3.25 per yard to $5.50 per yard depending on the difficulty of the job and the carpet selected. Berber style carpets are generally more costly to install because they are more difficult to handle, cut and seam. How to Choose Berber Carpet Wisely

The highest carpet installation prices are in the Northeastern states like New York, Virginia, Massachusetts and Ohio and also in the Pacific Northwest like Oregon and Washington and Northern California.

Prices may range from $4.50 per yard for a medium grade plush style carpet to $8.50 per yard for a heavy duty looped Berber style carpet.

How to reduce your carpet installation costs, fees and charges.

In our current economy, there are less carpet installers out there hungry for work than there was a year or two ago. You can still find a good deal on carpet installation if you are willing to do a little legwork and locate a qualified carpet installer and negotiate a good deal.

If you are willing to be flexible with the date and time of installation and are willing to pay cash at the end of the day, you might get a better deal still. Some installers are willing to work nights and weekends to make extra money, especially when it doesn't conflict with their commitment to the retail dealers where they are hired to install Monday through Friday.

If you have a little ambition, I think you might be able to negotiate as much as 10 to 25% off their normal carpet installation charge, especially if you are willing to pay them in cash at the end of the day. (But always get a detailed written receipt and insist on at least a full 1-year written warranty)

You never want to sacrifice quality installation in exchange for a discount on price, so be sure you make it clear that you expect a first class job, even if they agree to do the job for less than their usual charge.

Carpet Buying Information FYI:

Most Retailers Bundle the Cost for Carpet, Padding and Installation.

To get your best TOTAL carpet deal, you will have to negotiate with the carpet dealers of your choice and not be afraid to ask the retailer for a discount or other incentives for you to buy from them. The smart homeowner always gets at least three bids/estimates and then takes plenty of time to negotiate a better deal. Patience is key here, and those who wait for the price to come down are the winners. Be sure you are comparing apples to apples! You can't compare a Polyester carpet to a Nylon carpet.
