they will be glad to do whatever it takes to help you find the perfect carpet value for your home.

STEP 1 Establish a budget.
The price of a single yard of carpet can range from $2.00 to $65.00, depending on the material, density and construction. This means carpeting an entire home can seem costly. Keep in mind, however, that quality carpet will bear up admirably under the literal weight of a generation. A high quality durable carpet can even increase your home’s value. So when planning your budget, consider the cost per year of purchasing a carpet that will last ten to fifteen years versus the cost per year of purchasing a less high quality carpet now and purchasing another carpet in three to five years.
Remember that most carpet prices do not include the cost of padding, or installation. Bear this in mind when planning your flooring project.

STEP 2 Call Michael’s Carpet for Samples
Just call Michael’s Carpet and let them know what you need your new floor to do. Give them an idea of what color, pattern, and purpose you had in mind, and they'll put together a variety of samples that suit your needs and send them directly to your home.

Send in an example of color you're looking for.
You can send your Michael’s Carpet sales representative a swatch of the color or pattern you had in mind and he or she will help you match that swatch to the specific carpet you want.  Have a living room suit you’re trying to match? A wall covering? Give your salesperson an idea of what you want and work together to meet your flooring needs.

Tell your Michael’s Carpet Sales Representative The Style and Performance Characteristics You Had in Mind
Or just tell them where in your home your carpet will be installed. They can help you find carpet to meet or exceed the necessary performance standards.

Let Them Know Your Price Range
If you aren’t sure how much you wanted to spend per square yard, you can tell your representative how much you wanted to spend on the entire project and he or she can help you find the carpet you want at a price you can afford.

Make Sure You Have The Proper Padding
It’s not always necessary to buy new padding when installing new carpet, but it’s never a bad idea. Your current padding may not be up to the performance standards of your new carpet. In addition, there are a few carpet styles that require a certain thickness or weight of pad be used in order to validate a warranty.  

STEP 3 Find a Reputable Installer in Your Area
If your new carpet is going to look as good in your home as it did in the showroom or on the website, it must be properly installed. To ensure you have experienced, professional carpet installers, you can ask friends and family for referrals, you can check the Yellow Pages under “Carpet Layers,” or you can check online for a list of certified installers in your region. When you contact an installer, be sure to ask them for references. If they’re the best at what they do, their past customers won’t mind telling you. Another thing to consider is the number of years an installer has been doing business. The more experience they have, the more likely they are to be at the top their game. Also, you might want to ask your installers whether or not they power stretch carpet. Power stretching is the newest carpet installation technique. This method of installation is more likely to keep your carpet securely in place and keep it looking fresh for years to come.

Finish any other remodeling before your carpet is installed.
Painting, wallpapering and major reconstruction projects can seriously damage your flooring. It’s probably a good idea to make flooring one of the last steps in your redesign project.

Find out what to do with your old carpet
Your installer may remove the old carpet for you. But if he won’t, ask him if he knows someone who will and make arrangements to have old flooring removed your new carpet is installed.

Inspect your carpet as soon as it's delivered.
Michael’s Carpet takes pride in offering you the best products via the best shippers. But it's still important to visually inspect your order when you receive it. If you or your installer find anything amiss, call Michael’s Carpet and we’ll take care of it in a professional, expedient manner.
