Got a quote from Empire Today for laminate floor ($7900 for 700 sq. ft & runner stairs). Good or bleak price? I also received a quote from another flooring company for $5500, but...

I also received a quote from another flooring company for $5500, but I'm not crazy about the materials. What is an average price for laminate flooring installed? Anyone use Empire Today? I close to that I can do 12 months interest free and I would like to find a place that can tender that.
What would you die for?
Answers:    That price is rediculous, these places over charge on the material, and sub contract the installation. If you attain your own materials, and find your own installer you could probably get it done for $4000, also you can release by removing carpet, funiture etc yourself these places will nickle and dime the **** out of you. also if you can put up your own trim you can also free. If your in the San DIego nouns I could take a look at it.

You integer that is $11.29 per sq. foot. For carpeting I know we rewarded a lot more than that but you don't read out how much of the 700 sq. feet are hearth rug so it's hard to know...style of like comparing apples and oranges.
