That depends on your individual preferences and needs. There are excellent carpets as well as excellent wood floors. Carpet will keep a room warmer but wood floors won't stain and are easier to clean. Wood floors will typically last longer than carpet. They can be refinished to get scratches out after years of wear. Good quality carpet generally has a life of approximately 20 years. Carpet is also never advised in rooms like kitchens and bathrooms, before of the risk of flooding or exposure to water. Wooden Flooring is also not advised in these rooms as water can have a disastrous effect on the wood.

∙ 14y agoHow much a foot for carpet
Mark Twain said that "One foot on fire & one foot on ice & on AVERAGE your pretty comfortable" I share his view that average is a pretty illusionary tool when it comes to being really useful.
There is no one price, & no one quality, could be junk for about a buck a sq ft or premium stuff for $6-10 or more a foot.
Here's a good rule of thumb, assuming you shop for value and don't over pay..
Expect 5 years of good service for every $1 you spend on carpet, (not pad or labor) per foot.
$1 buck/ sq /ft= <5 years of good service
$2 buck Sq/ Ft= <10 years & so on..
the warranty will be for more than my estimation but warranties on flooring are not worth the paper they are written on..
Most stores offer free estimates so what does that cost you to have someone put an actual product with an actual quote.. you can always say no thanx
