Replacing Wall to Wall Carpet - buy and install

We are considering replacing the wall to wall carpet on our stairs and in our second story rooms (converted attic so no hardwood underneath). Any recent recommendations for both place to purchase carpet and installers (could be the same)? We'd like to find something with low-VOC (even wool if we can afford it).

You're not going to get a better deal than Tradeways in Richmond. It's in a great old warehouse/barn of a place, historically interesting, and run by super-nice, helpful folks -- feels like a family business. The selection is large, the prices can't be beat (especially if you get a remnant), and they install.

They gave a huge free roll of linoleum to my son when he wanted an indestructible surface for the bottom of his bunny pen. And they've made bound-off carpet rugs for us out of gorgeous remnants we picked out. Go!

I have used Strauss Carpets in Oakland for many projects over the years and they always do a fine job. The person I call is Felix and he takes good care of me. Ask him to show you the remnants in the warehouse as the best deals are usually there. His personal number is 510-612-4088. Feel free to use my name. Best of success. Roger
