Why New Hampshire prices differ from national averages
Material prices are fairly consistent nationwide — a box of carpet costs about the same in every big-box store. What moves is labor. Installer day rates in New Hampshire track local cost of living and contractor demand, which is why Floormath applies a 0.93 multiplier to installation, demolition, baseboard, and stair labor for New Hampshire projects, while material stays at list price.
A mid-range example: Nylon Cut-Pile Carpet installed at $1.75/sf nationally becomes about $1.63/sf in New Hampshire.
