> Thanks for all the recommendations. We will check at some of these places this week and if none work out maybe we’ll have Empire come do it. We only have 2 bedrooms, the living room and hallway to do. We don’t have any furniture yet and I was going to pull up all the current carpet. So I am hoping that it will be cheap for install since all of that will already be done. Do you think I could budget like $1,500 for that? The master bedroom is like 14 X 12, the other bedroom is like 12 X 11, the living room is like 25 X 20 and the hallway is only like 11 X 3.

Thats approx 92.5 Sq Yd. You can get a decent carpet for 12-15 a yard. Plus you have to get the padding, thats a couple of bucks per foot, plkus the install.  
You should budget closer to $2,000. You may be able to get the $1500 with some rems, depends on how flexible you(meaning your wife)are for color and style.
