Most installed carpet falls between $2,334 and $9,104, with a typical figure near $4,610 per job. The low end is a straightforward job with no surprises; the high end covers complex scope, premium materials or urgent timing. It is worth testing that against a couple of quotes in St. Louis.

Is Installed Carpet cheaper in smaller cities?
Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. In St. Louis, that is worth confirming with a local provider before you commit.
