Ordering Carpet- questions

We are finally working on Adam's big boy room- which was supposed to be done before there was even a baby in the picture, but now we are on a time line...

We are going to have carpet installed, I found one I like at Lowes. It is SmartStrands by Mohawk.

1. Anyone have this carpet?

2. Anyone order from Lowes? advice, opinions....

3. How long does it usually take to get special order carpet?

- we have tore out plaster ceiling, installed a Attic access and put up Drywall. The Dry wall needs taped and sealed and sanded and then we want to paint the whole room.  I would love to have that all done before they put in the carpet so we can then just get furniture and be done and not have to cover it to paint.

BUT I don't want  to be sitting here waiting on carpet either.!

TIA!

Re: Ordering Carpet- questions

  • We had carpet installed today, actually, in our new house.  We got 3 estimates--Lowes, Paracca and CLS.   Lowes charged $35 to come out an measure b/c the are concerned that people just use them to find out how much they need and then they do

  • We are having carpet installed Monday from Coraopolis flooring. We are getting the smart strand by Mohawk as they said it was a great carpet for a good price. We also had a measure from Lowes and found they had over measured and it would have cost an addi
  • Also, we ordered the carpet last Monday, it was in today and will be installed Momday. Turnaround seemed pretty quick. 
  • Very helpful girls! Thanks so much!

    So I will look into the places you mentioned and maybe anyone else local to me that has that carpet.

    I really like what I read bout the smart strand and it seemed like a nive product for even the price at

  • I don't have experience with Lowes or that carpet (we used HD - so I can give you a big box store perspective if you want it). I wanted to comment on the painting, though. We did carpet/paint within around the same time frame when we bought our house
  • We had carpet installed by lowes at our old house.  We were really impressed with them.  They came on time, worked quickly and intalled it well.
