Type the words “empire carpet installation cost” into any search bar and you will see thousands of homeowners doing the same thing every month. The phrase signals one core concern: How much will it cost to get fresh, professionally fitted carpet in my home—without surprise overruns? At CountBricks, our AI-driven estimating engine answers that question in real time, combining regional labor data, live material pricing and square-foot takeoffs pulled straight from your floor plan or blueprint. The result is a clear, line-item estimate you can trust.
• Carpet product tier: entry-level polyester, mid-grade nylon or luxury wool each carry different price per yard rates.
• Subfloor condition: leveling, repairs or moisture mitigation adds labor and materials.
• Room complexity: closets, angles and staircases take more crew hours than a single, open rectangle.
• Removal and disposal: hauling away existing flooring averages 10-15% of total cost in Texas.
Based on 1,200 CountBricks estimates created for homeowners in Bexar County last year, total empire-style carpet installation runs between $4.30 and $7.20 per square foot, all-in. A 400 sq ft family room therefore typically lands near $2,300, while a full 1,500 sq ft home makeover averages $8,500. These figures already include:
• Carpet and pad
• Tack-strip, transitions and trims
• Labor, travel and cleanup
• Permit coordination where required
During a quick phone call, CountBricks AI listens while you describe each room. The system converts every dimension, closet note and stair count into a digital sketch within seconds.

Our software ties directly into regional supplier databases. When carpet mills update pricing at 9 AM, your estimate reflects it at 9:01 AM. That transparency protects you from outdated quotes.
CountBricks maintains a rolling database of installer rates across Texas. You see labor allowances that match local market reality—never national averages that don’t fit your zip code.
