Laura and I struggled with carpeting over the last few months. First, in deciding what type of carpet we would like to see in the basement, and second, in choosing who we would like to install the carpet. Both of these problems stemmed from the cost of carpeting and the cost of installation. Thankfully, our network of other homeowners yielded a carpeter out in Rockville that agreed to an installation charge of only $150 (this is VERY cheap and on par with some place like Home Depot) and a brand of carpet that fit perfectly in the basement. All in all, the total cost came in roughly $600 under what we had budgeted.
Yet another lucky find in our running list. Perhaps it pays to be atheists after all? I kid.
