There are several factors influence the cost of carpeting a house. At Livin Floorings, we handle the entire installation process from start to finish, allowing us to provide an accurate, fixed-price quote based on your needs. When calculating the cost of carpet, it’s important to consider the roll widths, which vary by manufacturer, and the placement of joints, which must be positioned strategically in each room. It’s worth noting there is usually a 15-20% allowance for wastage to ensure the job is done correctly. We recommend booking a free in-home measure and quote with our experts to get an accurate estimate. Other key considerations include: Removing Existing Floors & Floor Preparation If your project involves renovating, old carpets may need to be removed, and the floor cleaned and leveled before new carpet can be installed. Number of Rooms The overall cost is influenced by the number of rooms that need new carpet. Typically, the cost per square meter decreases as the total area increases. Room Shape Rooms with irregular shapes or round edges require more time to carpet, increasing the cost compared to simpler rectangular spaces. Stairways Installing carpet on stairways requires precise measurement and cutting, making it a more time-consuming and potentially more expensive process. Furniture Removal If you need assistance moving furniture before installation, this service can add to the overall cost. Moving furniture yourself can help reduce expenses. Access If your property is difficult to access, such as being in a high-rise building, this may increase the installation cost, especially if special equipment is needed to transport materials. Carpeting Type While the fiber type of your carpet doesn’t typically affect installation costs, patterns that require additional time to match can lead to higher expenses.
