Honestly, there’s only 2 major manufacturers of carpet. Go to Home Depot, they have free installation, with scrutinized installers. They back up the carpet and install. Get the best padding available and you can go with a less expensive carpet. Don’t go cheap, but the better the pad, the longer it will last. I would not say this about their other services, as I’ve seen some of their work done on clients homes, we’ve had to fix. I of course knew and used carpet installers back in Illinois and Wisconsin, some actually did work for HD, as subs. When we moved here, I knew no one basically and had them do this house. It was a very professional job and had no issues. A carpet store can’t compete price wise or quality wise.
