how does it cost to lay carpet
As of this writing, expect to pay between $9 to $12 per square yard of carpet installation for a competitive, average installer. Luxury carpets can cost three times that. Stairs and other difficult areas cost more, as do outdoor carpets and specialty paddings.
Compared to many flooring types, carpet is often the most cost-effective option. Professional installation of an economical carpet could cost as little $2.00 per square foot ($18 per square yard).
