Our Story

Getting ready for a flooring project? When it’s time to shop, you’re probably asking, “how much is this going to cost me?” In short, it depends. That said, it doesn’t have to be a mystery. When pricing out a flooring project, there are a few key factors you should understand to plan with confidence.
What actually moves the needle? Let’s get some insights from the Carpets by Otto team.
It’s simple. How much space you’re covering directly impacts the price of your flooring project. For example, installing flooring in a small guest bedroom is a completely different project than flooring an entire level, or a main level plus an upstairs. Bigger projects cost more. The size of the space is one of the first things we look at when scoping any job.
Before installing new flooring in your home, consider what’s already there. The condition of your current floor and what it takes to remove it adds to your final project cost. No two homes are alike. That’s why this step is just as important as the new flooring itself. Depending on what's underneath, extra prep work may be needed before your new floor can even go down.
Every flooring material is different. The one you choose plays a huge role in the final price of your flooring project. Think about your space and how you plan to use it. If you’re installing flooring in a rental unit, you need something practical with a fast turnaround. Meanwhile, when adding flooring to your forever home, you might prefer soft, thick carpet for cozy movie nights. In different scenarios, you’ll be looking at different products.
Pattern, texture, thickness, softness and how tightly carpet fibers are woven are personal preferences, but they impact cost just as much as comfort. There’s no one-size-fits-all option. The right flooring choice is the one that fits your home and how you live in it.
Several factors affect the installation process. It’s important to consider the square footage, subfloor prep and the installation method.
Every step of the process plays a role. Our crews install flooring the right way so your investment is worthwhile. Getting this part right is what makes the difference between a floor that looks good on day one and one that holds up for years.
No two flooring projects are the same. That means every cost estimate is different. If you’re ready to discuss how a new floor would look in your home, visit a Carpets by Otto showroom.
