I'm about to buy carpet for my basement. I've shopped around a bit, and found some that I like. The cheapest acceptable carpet is going for around $3.75/sq.ft installed. The stuff I want is $4.40/sq.ft installed.
How reasonable does that seem to you guys?
With waste and everything figured in, I'll need a little under 700 sq.ft, and I have ~9 stairs that will need to be done as well. Those costs estimates include the stairs, tax, etc.
I'm not in Calgary, so I'm sure I'm going to be paying more than most of your guys would. I'm just wondering what I should expect to be able to negotiate. Do most carpet places have much wiggle room on their prices?
