What’s included in a carpet quote (supply vs installation)?

Carpet Buying Guide · 2026-01-04

Great question! When you get a carpet quote, it typically breaks down into two main categories: **supply** and **installation**. Here’s what you can expect in each:

### 1. **Supply**:
- **Carpet Material Cost**: The price of the carpet itself, which varies based on style, material, and brand.
- **Underlay (if included)**: Often, the quote will include a high-quality underlay, which provides cushioning and extends the life of the carpet.
- **Accessories**: This might cover things like threshold strips or trims that are needed to finish the installation.

### 2. **Installation**:
- **Labour Costs**: This includes the work of removing old carpets (if needed), preparing the subfloor, and laying down the new carpet.
- **Seaming**: If the area is larger than the carpet roll, costs for sewing seams or joining pieces together may be included.
- **Fitting and Handling**: Any assistance required in moving furniture or ensuring the carpet fits perfectly in your space.

### Additional Factors:
- **Measurements & Planning**: Accurate measurements may be taken to ensure the right amount of carpet is ordered.
- **Disposal Fees**: If old carpets need to be removed, this may add a small fee.

Always check the fine print and ask the the Taren Point carpet team (BCC) whether any specific services or materials are included, to avoid surprises later. If you're keen on a quote, I can help you connect with BCC for their impeccable services! 🏠✨
