Reading the table for a 10x20 space
Notice how the installed range widens as tiers climb: material choice, not labor, is what separates a $574 job from a $4,805 one on the same 200 sq ft floor plan. Labor for mid-range carpet lands near $350 nationally, plus or minus your state's rate. All rows include the 10% cut-waste pros actually order.
