Huh? They get their carpet from the same manufacturers everybody else does. Shaw, Milliken, Mohawk etc... I would say you dont know what you are talking about.

You're putting carpets inside your house instead of hardwood flooring you fucking peasant.
Sheees that's alot of money. How much square feet are you talking about?
I did my entire home and it was like 3k, 1400 square foot home.
Ask friends and people you know about carpet. You'll eventually find some kids just starting out who need the money. We hired friends of relatives, just started up their own company. So they didn't have all the overhead of a retail chain. It was almost like a side job and we paid them in cash. They got the job done.
That 11K is paying for the retail company, and profit to Home Depot.

I learned this from a guy that does house refurbs. He says that when adding flooring that a wood floor, or tiled floor (not linoleum, but real tile) adds more to the resale value of the house than carpeting because of 2 things. Tile/wood floors are physically attatched to the house, where carpet isnt, and ease of maintenance.
the biggest influence on what a house will be worth is the surrounding area and what houses in your neighborhood sells for. yea things like this will help sell the house but they don't really add a whole lot of value to a house.
Actually i've heard from a lot of different places that while what you say is true, all things being equal, the big selling points of a house are the bathroom and kitchen respectively
you can always get area rugs too
yea that is true that those are the selling points but still thats all stuff that is just going to make your house sell easier ...all tho if you do it nice it might add a little to the value its really just going to make it easier to sell .
There are a couple places i've read that say that is exactly the reason, because ultimately, its women that are the last word in a home purchase
HD are fucking idiots for the most part in the larger home improvements area.
My sister-in-law is living through a nightmare after paying them for an all new set of kitchen cabinets. They totally fucked it up and now are trying to say it's her fault.
If I can't buy it and walk out with it in the same visit to the store I won't buy it from HD.

This is 100% true.
Which is why I'm remodeling both before I sell my place.
The bathroom is getting all new tile floor and walls and mybe a newtub surround (or I may tile that as well) and all new cupboards and countertops in the kitchen
Not to mention waaaay healthier. Carpet chemicals are so strong and can cause unknown allergies to activate. Also hardwood/area rugs give you much better options for style change on the cheap down the road.
