Common Carpet Questions Answered – Everything You Need to Know Before Buying Carpet
If you’re considering new carpet for your home or office, you probably have a lot of questions. At Koeber’s, we’re here to help! From carpet installation costs to choosing the right fiber, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common carpet-related questions.
How Much Does Carpet Installation Cost?
One of the first things people think about for when looking for new carpet is the "carpet installation cost" or "carpet installation prices." While costs vary depending on the type of carpet, installation complexity, and the size of the space, here’s a general breakdown of what you can expect for pricing:
Low-Range: $3.80 - $5.00 (including pad & installation)
Mid-Range: $5.00 - $8.00 per square foot (including pad & installation)
High-End: $8.00 - 12.00 per square foot (including pad & installation)
At Koeber’s Interiors, we offer professional carpet installation at competitive prices to box stores such as Home Depot Carpets & Lowes when comparing the same exact product. Unlike big box stores, we provide personalized service, professional installation, and expert guidance at no additional cost!
Do Carpet Installers Move Furniture?
Yes! One of the most common questions we’re asked is "will carpet installers move furniture?" or do you have "carpet installers that move furniture." The answer is YES—our team at Koeber’s Interiors im many cases can handle moving furniture as part of the installation process, making your carpet replacement experience as stress-free as possible. However, if you move furniture, installation generally moves along smoother, quicker and it’s less labor intensive for our craftsmen.
What’s the Best Carpet for My Home?
When searching for new carpet, many homeowners wonder, "what carpet should I use for my house?" The two most common fiber options are nylon and polyester:
Nylon Carpet: Considered the best choice for high-traffic areas due to its superior durability and resilience. It “bounces back” from foot traffic better than polyester and can last much longer. High-quality nylon carpets can also be treated for excellent stain resistance.
Polyester Carpet: Known for being softer and more budget-friendly. While it’s naturally stain-resistant, it doesn’t hold up as well in high-traffic areas as nylon. However, for lower-traffic rooms or those prioritizing softness, polyester can be a great choice. Also, note that some manufacturers use creative fiber names to hide the polyester name.
Is Shopping Local More Expensive Than Buying Carpet from Big Box Stores?
Many people assume that national chains offer the best prices, but the reality is that shopping local is more affordable than you think! When comparing the exact same carpet products, our prices are comparable—and in many cases, even better—than big box retailers. But what really sets us apart is our incomparable service, professional installation, and the personal touch that only a local, family-owned business can provide.
