Keep in mind: Your Actual
Price will probably vary due to differences from house to house, subtle
price differences, the amount of floor prep needed, baseboard treatments, transition
items and other installation-related factors. |
|
2. Calculate
your
total square footage.
|
Measure the
longest length and width of each square
component of the area to be covered (remember
closets, nooks and crannies) Also measue into doorways. Add the component
total together then add 5-10%. |
example:
A: 10 x 24 =
240 sf
+ 10% =
264
sf |
CARPET:
This is what you
can figure for Carpet installed with the appropriate pad.
These prices will exclude floor
preparation, rip-up or any other incidentals. |
