FAQs

What kinds of carpet should I consider for my house?
There are many types of carpets for different settings. Berber, textured etc. When looking for something that is very durable for a high traffic area it is best to consider a heavier carpet for wear. For formal areas patterned carpets are good choices. Day-to-day living spaces like family rooms and bedrooms are best served by what is most appealing to your sense of look and feel.
 
What are the costs for new carpet?
The costs vary by carpet selection and room size. However, prices start as low as $1.55 per sq. foot installed. Setting a budget for what you think makes sense for you before selecting a carpet is the best approach. You can then restrict your choices to those carpets that meet your budget.     
 
What are the costs for hardwoods?
The costs vary by hardwood selection and room size. However, prices start at $4.89 per sq. foot plus installation. Setting a budget for what you think makes sense for you before selecting a hardwood is the best approach. You can then restrict your choices to those hardwoods that meet your budget.
 
How do I measure the sq. footage in my home?
Once you have made a selection we will take a final measurement before confirming your order. However, if you want to determine the rough sq. footage for budgeting purposes, measure the length and width of your room in feet. Multiply the length by the width for the total square footage for the room. Add 10% for special cuts and waste to be safe. This will give a reference for the cost to carpet each room.
 
Can I get a better deal from a national home store than from a family owned flooring expert?
No. Flooring is a major decision and you want the service and selection you only get from a source like Dallas Carpet Outlet. The do-it-yourself options rarely result in the best deal and the best flooring for your home.
 
How do I know that what I ordered is what is installed in my home?
Always inspect the flooring when it arrives at your home and prior to installation. Compare it to your invoice to confirm what you have bought is what is being installed. Always work with a long-standing and trusted source like Dallas Carpet Outlet to ensure you get what you asked and paid for.
