Store Suggestions-New Carpet

Lowes and HD.
You generally will get a less quality carpet & pad and their installers are a bunch of hacks. Store does not pay them crap to do the work so the job generally reflects it.
Joe used to run New Floors by Design. Before he moved to the DC area they were the absolute best around.
IMHO Home beautiful does do ok work but they are or were very, very, pricy.
If you can get a good recommendation for an installer and buy your carpet you will do much better on price, or at least give it a look.
Good luck
