If you get up into the Riverside area, try The Recovery Room RV Interiors
(951) 688-4829
I've seen their work (family owned business, and they do all the
work...Flexsteel Dealer)
Maybe give them a call, and they can give you a rough estimate???

Anyone know of a place in San Diego area to have carpet replaced and
also install wood flooring in kitchen & bath? Holland Motors here says
they figure 45 hours @ $110 an hour for carpet installation, plus the
carpet. Sounds extremely high to me. Suggestions?

Does sound extremely high to me too. Contact Ernie Ekberg
erniecarpet@... . Get his prices, etc. I plan to use Ernie to redo
our PT38 flooring.

I did a complete wodd floor in my fc and it took about a week.....a good finish
carpenter is what you need. The wood requires pleanty of cuts. Hard wood thu out
sure makes cleaning a breeze....just sweep it out the door. 110 an hour is out
of
line....

Mark;. We took our Coach to Holland because they are a Bluebird
dealer to have our brakes redone.. They didnt do it, but simply
farmed it out to whom-ever.. We were not happy!!
As to the flooring, up here in Buena Park is "Pats RV Carpet &
FlooringV", (800-670-PATS. 8114 Orangethorp. Ca. 90621 )
Item that Pat reminded me was that some coaches may have dry rot in
the plywood subflooring!
Prices,(Over the Phone)from $1500 to $4-5,000.or more, depending.
I have also been looking at some carpeting at Home Depot called
"LEGATO", a Do It Yourself type. Sort of like 18" squares that are
laid like tile. has a special rubberized backing that will not move
or shift, and dirty or stained squares can be individually replaced.
I think it just goes on the flat, and would be real fun to wrap the
doghouse, or the stairs.
(Wonder if anyone has taken up the carpet, smoothed the floor, and
applied the new Epoxy garage floor paint)?? Interesting Idea!!

I've done several, and 45hours is a bit low if it is ALL removed and
replaced, but in the ballpark.

If you find someone to do it for less, and who knows what they're
doing, go for it. The hourly rate can be lower at other places and that
might help.

Mark,

This can be a DIY project. It may take longer than 45 hours but you
won't be spending anywhere near $110/hr. My wife did the installation
of our carpet and tile. We shopped carefully for the carpet and tile,
found some bargains. We're retired, so time wasn't a problem. Check
out her work at <http://home.earthlink.net/~jaowensjr/>.

Others have offered alternatives near your location if you have
neither the time nor inclination to DIY.

Yeah, might try it "Do It Yourself"... Worst that can happen is a job
that may have to be redone. BUT, all the prelim work will be done..
I dont suppose that it is exactly Rocket Science to pull up the old
carpet, and remove some 10 million staples...
BTW, I once helped build a laminated hull sailboat that was glued, and
staples held it togather till the glue dried.. A (church key) Beer
Can Opener, sharpened, was great to pull those staples..
