Whether you are buying carpet to install yourself, or are looking to have your carpet installed for you, it is important to know a few (basic) things about carpeting so you can make a wise and informed decision, but perhaps more importantly, you want to make sure you get what you want and need at the right price!
 

Basic carpet prices

 
Have you checked carpet prices lately? The cost of the new carpet has doubled in the past 10 years. Why pay more than you need to! Let us show you some smart and easy ways to save money on carpet. You really can save hundreds, or even thousands on your next carpet purchase.

Carpet Cost and Carpet Quality go hand in hand. The better the quality, the longer it can last and more it will cost. Some Carpet retailers offer better prices than others, some retailers offer low carpet prices and then jack up the price of the padding and installation. Some offer free installation and then surprise you with extra fees and charges you didn't expect.

You need to look at the big picture when you consider the cost of buying new carpet. This includes getting accurate measuring, qualified installation, and good customer service before and after the sale. Even if you are on a tight budget, you can't afford to choose a carpet that won't last as long as you expect. There are lots of critical choices to be made and you need to get each and every one of them right or you stand to lose hundreds or worse. Lucky for you, Roman Floors & Remodeling can help you make wise and informed choices and our "advice" won't cost you a dime!
