How much to install carpet in a 300 square foot room with everything included (cleaning, dispose of old carpet etc)?

The bedroom is about 15×15 and probably needs the carpet and padding replaced. What is a general price range to have someone do this?

I have a tenant who rented an apartemnt from me. She got a dog and when I was showing her apartment to new tenants I noticed that the wood floors had tons of little scratches/dents in them.
The floors were brand new when she moved in (she was the first to walk on them). They can’t be resurfaced (bamboo) so how do I figure out how much to remove from her deposit seeing as I can’t spend a particular $ amount to fix.
Her deposit is ~$1000 by the way. The apt is about 900sq/ft.

I currently do not pay for heat. It is inlcuded in my rent. Also, (Strange) but I do not know what I pay for electric either. Can you please tell me what these bills usually cost?
My lawyer won my disability case. I have a payee person that pays all the bills for me. I’m actually buying a house. I need to make a budget for the the heat and elect. My payee will help with the budget, but all she said about the bills is that “it varies”. Could someone please suggest some reasonable numbers for me?
Also, #2, The house that we are considering moving into has a TECHNICALLY “Michigan” basement, so it is musty. I said “technically”. It is actually built into a man made hill? It’s very attractive, actually, as it places us above the neighbors yards, and… our basement * should * stay less dry than our neighbors’ basements, as it is technically built “on the level” of the neighbors’ actual house. There is no insulation on the upper part of the basement. The roof is brand new with very good insulation. The furnace is about 30 yrs old (yeah, we will probably contemplate getting a newer energy efficient model. I have some $ to work with now, for the down payment on my house, buying a car, or buying a new Wacky GeoThermal heat – we want to be energy efficient, or hot water heat with solar panals or some wacky hippie stuff. I’m allergic to “everything” so, We like the idea of alternative heat sources. I don’t think we can use a wood burning furnace because there may be city laws about the pollution… but I’m open to the idea. Heat rises. My Grandfather had a wood stove in his basement. It was always SUPER HOT in his two story house. Both of my child’s Grandparents both have wood stove heat , currently, so, we can get lots of tips and insider info about his style of heat.) So, how much does it cost for any of the above mentioned furnaces? I do not know for a fact that the current heater is “bad”, it is simply “OLD” and inefficient, I was told. The house also has central air , so, that may affect your answer. Isn’t central air hooked up to the heating ducts? So,it would collect dust all winter, if I used alternative heat, and blow all that nasty dust out in the summer? EW> I’m allergic to all that dust. And the mold too. It’s pretty musty in our whole entire future house. “musty smells” I can leave with, but not mold. Michigan basements are musty smelling… Just have to live with it? I guess? How much does it cost to “seal” your basement? would that even be worth the price? Our basement floor is very uneven due to settling of a 1920s house.
We would like hard new flooring, how much does that cost? I’m interested in real honest to goodness wood planks, or bamboo? I heard that is ecologically friendly….. or just cheap vinyl? how much does any of this cost? I have some money to work with, but it depends on if I need to purchase a new furnace or not???? and how would I know ? about the furnace? Will it conk out next winter? or last for many more years? how long does a furnace last?
The house currently has brand spanking new carpet. I hate to tear it out..;. but I don’t know if the previous owners had furry pets. I love my pets… but I’m allergic. (as always), mostly just mild itching. But sometimes, I have asthma too. So, I heard that a “special” allergy helper vaccuum costs like $500? Is that a good deal? shouldn’t I just put down new flooring? in the long run, it will need to be replaced anyway!!!! http://www.karawynn.net/mishacat/toilet.…
My cat is trained to go potty on the human toilet. (True story!! Yeah, wierd, huh?) but I am afraid he will make kitty messes on the carpet!!!!! He might stop his toilet training if he sees carpet!! yikes!!!!!!!!
please help!!!!
THANK YOU , sorry so long! 10 pts for best answer,

i am about to move out of my apt. i have animals and they destroyed part of the carpet. i think the apt might charge me to replace the carpet. anyone know how much it would cost? i paid 200 for a security deposit. would they just take that or would they charge me extra? the carpet wasn’t new when i first moved in so i don’t think it’ll be fair for them to charge me the whole amount to replace the carpet. anyone know what the process is?

New cabinets, granite counters & tile backsplash, tile floors & stainless steel appliances incl refrig. New baths with Carrara marble floors & gorgeous vanity with marble counter. Inside laundry w/washer/dryer incl. new roof. Bamboo flrs. Copper plumbing. New windows. 617 sq ft.

I want to re-carpet my living room and hallway. It is about 355 square feet or 40 yards. (it has a ton of wierd off space which took a LONG time to measure)
I would rather not do it myself, as I have never done carpetting before.
I am not looking for anything incredibly fancy.
As usual for my questions, I am in Overland Park KS. (if that changes anything…)
Thanks!

I will have to take out approximately 800 sq ft of carpet and some vinyl floor as well. It will be installed over concrete floors, I am not going to level the floor. I have specific instructions not to worry about that. There is some furniture to move. Any ideas of the cost would be greatly appreciated.

I want top get my house revalued. I have painted the whole house inside and out, so it looks nice. The only bad part is the floor. It has really old, prehistoric old lino on the floor. And it is covered in paint too but not lefting or anything. Would it be beneficial to tile and carpet the house before i get it valued? It is going to cost me a few thousand $, and just wondering if my valuation will go up a few thousand to make it worth while?

average cost per sq. foot to install a vinyl floor and sub floor
