replacing carpet

We would love to replace the carpet in our 2004 Granite Ridge 2700DS. We are currently in Concord, Ca. Any ideas where and who?
  • I went to a local carpet shop and they gave me the name of an installer. We negotiated a price, I bought the carpet, and he installed it.
  • We replaced ours with Home Depot Allure. Been 3 years and will never go back.
    If you were in my area I could send you to a couple different places.
    Try checking out some smaller flooring stores in your area.
  • Replace it with vinyl tiles or vinyl flooring. Much easier to keep clean.
  • We replaced ours last year also. Went to a regular carpet dealer. They hesitated at first, but when I told them that I would do the tear out, they jumped right in.
  • I had a residential carpet installer, friend of a friend do mine the first time. I removed all the seating, bolted down stuff and old carpet, then he sent me to a carpet warehouse to pick out the new carpet using his discount... and I helped him install it. Only took a couple of hours. The worst part was taking up all the staples and pieces of the carpet pad that was glued down. There was also a lot of cutting of the old carpet under walls and built in cabinets/closets as the carpet and pad is usually laid by the manufacturer before the walls are built and everything is installed.

    About 5 years later I replaced the carpet again but did it myself... took the better part of a day but I wouldn't hesitate to do it again if needed.

    Sorry I can't point you in a direction for a company to do it... try asking friends about carpet installers they may know, check with the guy/workers that you have used for carpet in your home, or try contacting one of the installers that Home Depot or Lowes uses.
