Yes. The price CarpetNow gives you during your in-home consultation is the complete installed price. It covers carpet, padding, labor, furniture moving, and haul-away of your old carpet. Nothing is added at checkout — no disposal fee, no delivery charge, no separate labor line. The number you agree to in your home is the number on your final invoice.
Quick Facts
- Every quote includes carpet material, padding, installation labor, furniture moving, and old carpet removal — zero add-ons
- Big box retailers typically advertise material-only pricing and bill labor, padding, and removal separately — the final invoice is often significantly higher than the number that caught your attention
- Padding is included in every quote — it’s a common place for budget installers to charge separately or cut corners; our carpet padding guide covers why it matters for performance and longevity
- Unusual subfloor conditions may require a separate conversation — your consultant flags those during the in-home visit before you commit; our installation expectations guide covers what to expect on installation day
- Use the carpet calculator to estimate costs by square footage and tier before scheduling
What Keeps the Price Honest
- No showroom overhead — because CarpetNow operates without a physical retail location, pricing doesn’t need to be structured the way big box stores require; see how we handle the scams and add-ons others use
- One price for every tier — the quality vs. value tradeoffs between carpet tiers affect the total, but never the structure
- Financing available on the full installed price — three options including 12-month interest-free through Synchrony and flexible Wisetack plans
- Selling a home? The Pay-at-Close program lets sellers collect the full invoice through the title company at closing with nothing due upfront

Yes. The price CarpetNow gives you during your in-home consultation is the installed price. It covers the carpet, the pad, labor, furniture moving, and haul-away of your old carpet. There are no fees added at the end for disposal, delivery, or moving your couch. The number you get in your home is the number you pay.
What Does CarpetNow's Price Actually Include?
When a CarpetNow consultant visits your home, measures your rooms, and gives you a quote, that number covers everything required to complete the job:
| What’s Included | What You Pay Separately |
|---|---|
| Carpet material | Nothing |
| Carpet padding | Nothing |
| Installation labor | Nothing |
| Furniture moving | Nothing |
| Old carpet removal and haul-away | Nothing |
Nothing is added on at checkout. There’s no separate labor line, no disposal fee, and no charge for moving furniture back into place once installation is done. What you agree to in your home is what appears on your final invoice.
If you want to estimate costs before scheduling, the CarpetNow carpet calculator gives you a ballpark based on square footage and carpet tier.
How Is That Different From Big Box Retailers?
Big box carpet retailers typically advertise a “starting at” price that reflects the cost of the carpet material only. Labor, padding, furniture moving, and old carpet removal are each billed as separate line items. By the time you reach checkout, the actual installed cost is often significantly higher than the price that caught your attention in the first place.
That gap between advertised price and final price is one of the most consistent complaints homeowners have about traditional carpet retailers. The FTC recommends that consumers get a complete written breakdown of all costs before agreeing to any home improvement project, specifically because add-on fees are a common source of unexpected charges in home services. The Carpet and Rug Institute also advises homeowners to confirm what installation includes before signing — padding, removal of old materials, and furniture handling should all be clarified upfront.
CarpetNow’s model skips the showroom entirely. Because we don’t carry the overhead of a physical retail location, we don’t need to structure pricing the way big box stores do. One price covers the whole job.
Does All-Inclusive Mean the Same Price for Everyone?
No. The total price varies based on square footage, the carpet you select, and your specific installation needs. CarpetNow offers several carpet tiers at different price points, and the quality versus value tradeoffs between them are worth understanding before you choose.
What stays consistent is the structure: every quote is a full installed price. A homeowner in Austin replacing carpet in three bedrooms and a living room gets the same transparent pricing structure as a homeowner in DFW or Houston doing the same project. The total will differ based on size and material selection, but there are no hidden additions regardless of which carpet tier you choose.
The Carpet and Rug Institute notes that carpet selection involves balancing construction, fiber type, and budget, and that understanding those tradeoffs helps homeowners make confident decisions. Knowing your full installed cost upfront is part of that.
What About Padding — Is That Really Included?
Yes. Padding is included in every CarpetNow quote. This matters because padding is a significant part of how carpet performs over time, and it’s a common place for budget-oriented installers to cut costs or charge separately.
The right padding affects how carpet feels underfoot, how it handles foot traffic, and how long it holds up before showing wear. Because it’s part of the all-inclusive price, you’re not choosing between carpet quality and padding quality to stay within budget — both are covered in what you’re quoted.
What If My Job Has Unusual Circumstances?
Most residential carpet installations fall within the standard scope that CarpetNow’s all-inclusive pricing covers. Unusual circumstances — like flooring repairs needed before installation, or non-standard subfloor conditions — may require a separate conversation, and your consultant will flag those during the in-home visit before you commit to anything.
The Carpet and Rug Institute’s installation standards call for subfloor preparation as a prerequisite to professional installation. If your subfloor has issues that need addressing, you’ll know that before installation day, not after. CarpetNow’s in-home consultation process is designed to identify those situations early so there are no surprises.
For more on what the installation process looks like from start to finish, the CarpetNow installation expectations guide walks through what happens on the day of your appointment.
Can I Finance the All-Inclusive Price?
Yes. CarpetNow offers three financing options for homeowners who want to spread the cost. For sellers listing their home, the Pay-at-Close program allows the full invoice to be collected through the title company at closing, with nothing due before the sale. The Carpet and Rug Institute notes that new carpet consistently ranks as one of the improvements that most positively affects buyer perception and home sale speed, making Pay-at-Close a particularly smart option for sellers who want fresh carpet without depleting cash reserves before closing.
Either way, the amount you’re financing is the full installed price. There are no surprises about what the total covers.
If you’re ready to find out what new carpet costs for your specific home, schedule a free in-home consultation and CarpetNow will come to you, measure your space, and give you a complete installed price before leaving.
