How much does it cost to carpet a 10×12 room?

Wondering how much does it cost to carpet a 10×12 room? If so, we’ve got you covered. To answer this question, let’s break down how much it costs to carpet a 10×12 room if you work with a professional, as opposed to how much it costs to DIY the carpet installation.

How much does it cost to carpet a 10×12 room by a professional installation company?

For a 10×12 room, you can expect to pay anywhere from $400 to $1,200 for the cost of carpet and installation, depending on the quality of materials and the complexity of the job. 

The installation itself typically costs between $200 and $400 (depending on the installation company you choose). This price may also increase if you have them remove and dispose of the pre-existing carpet and if you have them move furniture for you prior to the install. 

As for the materials, you can likely expect to pay between $300 and $1000 for the carpet itself. This can vary greatly depending on which type and brand of carpet you choose. 

You’ll also need to factor in the cost of padding — which costs between $0.30 and $1. That being said, expect to pay another $80-$150 in carpet padding.

How much does it cost to carpet a 10×12 room by yourself?

If you’re planning on DIY-ing the carpet installation, you’ll need to factor in a few other costs. Of course, you’ll still need to consider the cost of carpet and padding — which means you’ll be looking at an average range of $400-$1200. 

While you can remove the cost of the professional installation, you will need to factor in the cost of installation supplies. For this, you’ll need a carpet cutter, knee kicker, power stretcher, carpet tape, and a stapler. 

On average, these products can cost anywhere from $50 to $500 depending on the quality and brand. If you already have these products on hand or can borrow them from a friend, then it is possible to save a good chunk of change. However, if you have to purchase all these supplies brand new, then you’ll likely end up losing money in the long run. 

On top of this, the installation will likely take longer and have a few learning curves along the way.
