Compare

Make sure you compare different sites which specialize in carpeting. Compare the price per sq. meter during installation. Find out if they measure, if the underlay is included in the price, and if the companies offer free installation if you are buying carpeting for the entire home. Often, companies offer these promotions, so you buy everything you need from them, rather than competitors. Comparing multiple quotes from tradesmen is one of the best ways to save money when having new carpet.

Quality

The quality of the carpet should be checked before you order - a better quality will last longer. Many times, you’ll find that industrial-grade or thicker-woven fabrics, which are higher quality, are only a little bit more expensive than a cheaper or thinner material. Often, you can use buy now, pay later financing when ordering carpeting for installation. And, many times, companies will offer discount for better quality carpeting if you install for the entire home. So, it is worth comparing and asking for discounts, as many companies offer them. 

Negotiate

Ask for ‘bulk pricing’ or discounts. If you buy carpeting for the entire home, and order underlay, padding, and other materials, many companies will offer discounted, or bulk pricing. Further, many will offer free installation, or a discount based on the size of your home for installation. So, take advantage of these deals when you are ready to buy and install the new carpeting. 

If your home needs new carpeting, there are ways to buy the best quality, hire the best installation teams, and save on the overall cost. These are a few simple tips which will help you find the best new carpeting, the best retailer to order from and the best prices when you are ready to have the new carpet installed in your home.
