Tips on carpeting and flooring
- Consider ordering carpet from a specialy store or factory where most carpet is manufactured, and having it shipped it to your home.
- If you choose to buy carpet from a store locally, your best bet is to shop at Home Depot and Costco, which are putting enormous pressure on the industry to lower prices.
- Consider wood floors if you prefer wood, but not to increase the value of your home.
- There are three kinds of “wood” floors: Laminate, engineered, and solid wood. Solid wood lasts the longest but is the most expensive. Laminate and engineered floors work best when installed over concrete floors.
- Tile and stone are more expensive than hardwood. Tile costs about $7 a square foot installed.
