Q. Fred and Zuma Palermo contacted Colorado Carpet Installation, Inc., for a price quotation on providing and installing new carpeting and til¬ing in their home. In response, Colorado Carpet submitted a written proposal to pro¬vide and install the carpet at a certain price per square foot of material, including labour. The total was in excess of $500. The proposal was never accepted in writing by the Palermo's and the parties disagreed over explain how much of the proposal had been agreed to orally. After the installation of the carpet and tiling had begun, Mrs. Palermo became dissatisfied and sought the services of another contractor. Colorado Carpet then sued the Palermo's for breach of the oral contract. The trial court held which the contract was one for services and was thus enforceable which is, it did not fall under the Statute of Frauds which requires contracts for the sale of goods for the price of $500 or more to be in writing to be enforceable. Discuss fully whether the contract between the Palermo's and Colorado Carpet was primarily for the sale of goods or the sale of serv¬ices.
