I had it installed by Deerfoot carpet. Prices were pretty much what I said above. It looks like they had a few different carpets that were inexpensive and still good quality. Looking around I found the same thing as you did Shazam- most places were around the same, and installation often was a deal breaker.
Their installer did an excellent job. You can't really see the one seam that is in the carpet, and the stairs came out really well.
My only complaint is that they tried to order waaaaaay too much carpet for the job. The installer first measured and came up with 34 square yards, whereas my measurements had put it at 24 square yards. We almost walked, and so they send the installer out. He was complaining about how it was going to be tough, and came back with 28 square yards. At the end of the job there were 3 good size pieces totalling about 4-5 square yards, plus a few others at about 3-4 square feet. (9 sq feet in a sq yard by the way.)
Yes, they can only cut the carpet a cetain way, but my arguement was the other pieces could have been used on the steps, as it doesn't matter if there were seams.
So I would use them again, but next time I would insist on getting a more accurate measurement.
