Carpet Installation in Salt Lake City
Carpet Services
Vama Flooring sells and installs carpet for homes and businesses across Salt Lake City, Sandy and the Salt Lake Valley. We've been in business since 2006 and have installed thousands of floors, so whatever your room needs, we've probably seen it before.
Residential carpet. Soft, durable carpet for bedrooms, family rooms, basements and stairs.
Wool carpet. We install a lot of wool. It's natural, long-lasting and one of our specialties.
Budget-friendly carpet. Need something soft and affordable for a rental or basement? We can compete on price too.
Carpet pad and installation. The right pad and a clean, tight install from our own trained installers.
Commercial carpet and carpet tile. For offices, gyms, hotels and retail spaces.
Big Box Stores vs. Local Pros
We like to be frank. Big box stores carry the overhead of thousands of stores, trucks and employees, and that cost ends up in the price. Even when the label is the same, the product and the install are not always equal.
As a local flooring store, we buy smart, keep our overhead low and stand behind our own installers. You get a real person who knows carpet, an honest quote and someone to call if anything comes up.
Choosing Your Carpet
Carpet isn't rocket science. Most people want something soft, durable and affordable. Here's what actually changes the price and performance:
Fiber. There are three main fibers. Wool is usually the most expensive, then nylon, then polyester. Wool is natural and resilient, nylon is tough and bounces back well, and polyester is soft and budget friendly.
Amount of yarn. More yarn in the construction usually means a denser, longer-lasting carpet.
Solution-dyed vs. dyed yarn. Solution-dyed fibers hold their color better against sun and cleaning.
Construction. Loop, cut and loop, or frieze. Each has a different look, feel and durability.
Carpet Pad & "Free Install"
You also pay for the pad, and the pad matters. It affects how the carpet feels underfoot and how long it lasts.
Be careful with "free installation" offers. The labor is often hidden in an inflated pad price. Pad doesn't cost 7 to 10 dollars a yard. When you compare bids, make sure they're apples to apples: same carpet, same pad, same prep and the same stairs and trim work. We're happy to walk you through any competing bid.
What Carpet Costs
How much does carpet installation cost in Salt Lake City? Most mid-grade carpet runs about $3–$6 per square foot, and nicer carpets about $4–$8 per square foot, including pad and installation.
Wool and premium carpets are quoted per project, and we can also meet a tight budget. Your price depends on the carpet, pad, stairs and furniture moving. Every estimate is free and itemized, and financing is available.

Carpet FAQ
How much does carpet cost per square foot installed?
Mid-grade carpet is usually about $3–$6 per square foot and nicer carpet about $4–$8, including pad and installation. Wool is quoted per project.
Is wool carpet worth it?
For many homes, yes. Wool is natural, resilient and long-lasting. It costs more up front, and we install a lot of it.
What's the best carpet fiber for kids and pets?
Nylon is a durable, easy-care choice for busy homes. Solution-dyed fibers also resist stains and fading. We'll help you compare options in the showroom.
Does "free installation" really mean free?
Usually not. The labor is often built into a higher pad price. Ask for an itemized bid so you can compare apples to apples.
Do you install carpet on stairs?
Yes. We install carpet on stairs, and we also build custom wood stair treads if you'd rather go hard surface.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. We include a one-year warranty on our labor, and the carpet carries the manufacturer's warranty.
