Clarity Backed by Expertise

When comparing true apples-to-apples installation, our total installed price is almost always $500 to $1,000+ lower than big box stores. While big box retailers advertise "free" or discounted basic installation, their final estimates typically add hidden charges for furniture moving, stairs ($15–$25 per step), tack strips, transitions, dump fees, and subfloor patching. Our estimates are honest, transparent, and turnkey—no surprise change orders on installation day.

A: Face weight measures the actual weight of the carpet yarn per square yard. A 60 oz carpet has significantly more fiber packed into every square inch than a 50 oz or 54 oz carpet. This extra density prevents matting, resists crushing in high-traffic hallways and stairs, and feels much thicker underfoot. Comparing carpet by price alone without checking face weight is like comparing a 4-cylinder car to a V6—the higher ounce weight gives you years of extra durability.

We standardly supply heavy-duty 8-lb density cushion (Contractor Grade). Many big box and discount outlets quote flimsy 6-lb or lightweight pad to make their advertised prices look cheaper, which causes carpets to break down and wrinkle within 2 to 3 years. A commercial 8-lb pad protects your carpet backing and extends the life of your investment.

In-stock carpet gives you premium quality at volume-discount pricing with zero wait time. Special ordering a low-volume color often adds freight fees, manufacturer delays, and a 20% to 30% price premium. With our Hayward warehouse inventory, you can touch and inspect full rolls of first-quality 60 oz broadloom and have it professionally installed within days, rather than waiting weeks for special order freight.
