When to replace your carpet main twelve year rule hints
Carpet can last a decade with care but wear and tear, deep stains, lingering odors, and age signal replacement. Look for irreparable matting, rips on stairs, fading colors, mold risk from moisture, and persistent smells after cleaning. Consider replacement near ten years.
Estimating Carpet Replacement Costs by Grade and Area
Price ranges for carpet replacement depend on area and carpet quality. Base carpet costs start around $2 per square foot, with mid grade at $3 to $4, and higher grades $5+. Padding adds $2.50 to $6 per square foot and installation runs $2 to $6 per square foot.
