Carpet - best place to buy

[Brad Rondeau]

Hi, I'm rehabbing my condo in Laguna Niguel CA after renting it the last 9 years.  I need about 1060 sq ft of carpet.  I may live here for several months or maybe 2 years (to get owner exclusion) and then sell.  Looking at local companies for carpet and also  big chain Empire Carpets of CA.  For decent, affordable, cost effective, basic carpet does it make sense to just stick with Home Depot.  I've noticed on other items that Home Depot usually has the best price and maybe I should not waste time shopping.   I know it always depends but just trying to find out if Home Depot is a good affordable place for carpet.  Maybe they can just beat everybody based on their size, I really don't know.  Thanks.

@Jason D. Thanks for info.  Seems like Home Depot is a pretty safe bet. I'm looking at their Gemini I carpet (58 oz face weight) that seems to be a good deal at $1.99 per sq ft.  With a good padding it's total of 2.98 per sq ft.
