We're looking for bedroom carpeting. Roth gave the best quote (~$15/yd carpet/pad/installation) and the carpet seemed reasonable. It looks like a very low overhead operation. I saw the same brand of carpet there for $15/yd that I saw at color tile for $23/yd. So color tile seems a bit overpriced, but they have loads of guarentees and 10yr buy back policies Allen carpets had the second lowest quote (~$16-$17/yd), but that particular carpet was very low quality. The salesman proudly said they installed this carpet in many apartments. Prizant's carpets had nice salespeople and their carpet looked the best (to my expert eye :-)). Their quotes were about $20/yd. Right now I'm leaning towards Roth, but I'd like to hear about their installation and support. ------- Message 2 Date: Tue, 07 Apr 92 11:04:48 -0400 Re: your post for carpet recommendations.
