I chose Budget over Lowes even after spending $39 on an estimate from Lowes because when I took my estimate to Budget, they gave me a better price and I got better quality carpet. I was looking at Pet Protect from Stainmaster (First Launch) and ended up getting Shaw Carpet in Park Trail and is so soft and beautiful. I also got a thicker pad from Budget than I would have from Lowes. Also, the guys who installed were very polite, friendly, and professional and worked so hard for three days to install carpet in our large home. They even didn't mind my dog being there with them even tho I offered to take him to daycare. I'm very happy, I plan on getting hard wood floors thru Budget as well. read more
