Is $6,000 to recarpet ~330 square feet in basement a fair price?

Project Details

We are first time home owners doing some fixing up on our newly purchased home. I just got a quote from a flooring place and the sticker shock is real. I was anticipating something like $3500 when it was all said and done, but the quote came in at $6,000. I did LVP on the main floor previously for about $1800 (product and labor) and am surprised by the difference in cost for this carpet project. I’m going to keep shopping around for more quotes.

Quote Details

The quote is for recarpeting approximately 330 square feet in the basement. It includes: - Removal of the old floor - Carpet product - Installation - Carpet pad and other extras
