Do you think a lawyer could help to get the carpets replaced beyond what the insurance company offered?

Cars and houses are different kinds of property so your analogy, while well intended, isn't valid.
Well you did ask for feedback from an attorney. I agree with MTI. Sounds like you're trying to milk it. Save it for when a real disaster happens.
