  • Buy material during holiday flooring sales and have the retailer store it.
  • Keep the same material throughout to avoid transition strips and extra cuts.
  • Remove old carpet and haul it yourself — that alone saves $1 to $2 per square foot.
  • Order 7% to 10% overage, not 20%; excess material is money left on the floor.
