Is $18,000 to install karastan and fabrica carpet for stairs and 2nd floor a fair price?
Project Details
We have 2 kids ages 11 and 8, and we're replacing our stairs and upstairs existing builder grade carpet in our long term home. We've been in it since 2014 and plan on living here forever. I checked myself and it's probably around 2,150 sqft total upstairs and 15 stair steps. We got a quote from Lowes about 3 years ago for approximately $12,000.
