We went to the establishment and picked out our carpet choices (4), which was in stock and available . The owner Al scheduled the installer Dave to come and and measure . The carpet was at $3.09 a square foot, including tack boards , padding and labor . We needed only needed the old carpet from the stairs removed . After the measuring was complete , we were told it would cost $3074.45. We did do the math and they are charging $100 to remove the carpet stairs , over what the price would have been . Al also told me it would be $30 to remove the carpet stairs and disposal. When we called back to give the deposit , which was a third and final payment due at the end of installation , the price changed . Al told us, that he hasn't raised his prices in years, so it would be another $400, but he would discount that . And he was giving us the best padding available , as we didn't request that , but he said it was included in the price and couldn't change that . I think it's your best choice to pick Home Depot or Lowes . They remove for free , their prices don't change and there's better pricing . $360 less then Al . Al .... I think it's time to retire after 50 years ...
