Home Depot $39 carpet installation
Hello everyone! Does anyone have any experience or advice on the Home Depot whole house carpet install for $39.00? I'm looking to do builders grade (or just slightly better) on 3 bedrooms and stairs and this seems to be a good deal.
Thx!

I do the Lowes whole house install deal too. I've compared it out and the whole house deal is way better - even if you don't need pad at your current place. Padding is roughly $.45 per square foot. I go with the nicer mid-grade frieze which is really comfortable and cleans really well.
I end up paying about $1.80 to $2.00 per sq ft when its all said and done even with the whole house install deal. Either I get dinged extra for the stairs or the tack strip.
But if you buy carpet and pad at menards, you're going to pay about the same plus more for the install and you also have to deal with the contractor yourself. I'd much rather let lowes set up the contractor stuff since its a lot more reliable and if they mess up I know they're fixing it for free.
I've thought about doing laminate more but that ends up $2 for laminate (I can't put in that cheap $1 or $1.50/sq ft stuff - it looks and feels terrible) plus $2 for install.
I'd rather have carpet.
