My brother is looking to have some carpet work done in Bullhead. About 1300 sq feet Lowes is out of site on prices

Hello, In my area (chicago) Lowes has the lowest prices on the goods but then gets you on the installation. ( almost $10 per sq yd. while the installer sees $4-5) The opposite is true for home depot.( the worlds largest carpet retailer) One of the areas they really get you in price is on the pad. You can go directly to most carpet supply places ( the place where the installers get their supplies) and get 1/2" 8 lb. rebond for about $2- 2.50 per yard. (it comes in 30yd. rolls)
You are looking at about 150 yards if your estimate is accurate. figure 10% less pad then carpet to add a little extra savings if not going the carpet supply route. If you're willing to move the furniture and tear out the old rug that is another $3-400 savings. Remember you don't have to do all the rooms at once on a job that size and it shouldn't be any extra.
If you know brand, style and color of the goods you want, you can shop by phone and on the net. carpet is on the outs and the shops want to deal..
Good luck R.B.
