Carpet installation labor cost?

What is a reasonable cost for labor to install carpet.

I was quoted $14.22 per yard from a carpet store and I removed the old carpet myself. That's $707.00 for carpet and pad that cost $1,160.00

You can phone a few box stores in your area and ask for price with and without installation.  Pricing will vary by area, so that is going to give you a better idea.

    @Theresa Harris

    Home depot labor cost is $49.99 for a whole house.

    I know they mark up the cost of the pad , but not that much. Crazy.

     $50 to install carpet for a whole house is crazy low.

    Just checked home depot's site now, free installation and removal of old carpet, includes stairs and moving furniture. As long as you spend $599.
