Don’t Be Fooled by Square Foot Prices

Don’t be fooled by square foot prices. For years carpet was sold by the square yard, and many consumers still have square yard prices in mind when they go shopping. When the price difference is between $9 and $11 per square yard, it is much more noticeable than $1 or $1.22 per square foot. Its the exact same price, but 22 cents doesn’t seem like a lot compared to 2 dollars. Whether carpet is priced by the square yard or square foot, always look at the total price. If you bought 1500 sq ft at $1.00 sf that’s $1500 and at $1.22 is $1,839.00. That’s a $330 difference (which is pretty good savings for most of us). Just remember. A few cents can really add up when you’re pricing carpet by the square foot. That’s why CarpetExpress.com displays both prices to make sure our customers are equipped with the information they need to truly buy carpet at a discount.
