Old carpet out—and the included material hauled away
Carpet on stairs is usually held down with more staples, strips, seams, and wrapped edges than carpet in a room. We work through those details carefully, collect the loose pieces, and haul away the materials included in the job.
What can be included
- Carpet removal from treads and risers
- Padding removal when present
- Landings and transitions when listed
- Tack-strip and staple removal when included
- Haul-away and proper disposal of included materials
What matters at a Darien property
Tell us whether the property is in town or down a longer private drive, and show any gates, porch steps, stairs, or tight hallways between the rooms and loading area.
Darien properties include older homes, newer residences, rentals, and small commercial buildings. Photos matter because the carpet and floor underneath can vary widely from one property to the next.
What can change the work
Lots of fasteners
Stair noses, edges, and wrapped sides often have more staples than flat rooms.
What is underneath
Wood stairs may have staple holes, glue, paint gaps, wear, or unfinished boards beneath the carpet.
Using the stairs
The staircase may need to stay clear while we work, so household access should be planned ahead.
What to send for a free estimate
- Send photos from the top and bottom of the staircase.
- Include landings, turns, spindles, and wrapped edges.
- Tell us whether the home has another safe way upstairs.
- Let us know what you plan to do with the stairs after the carpet is gone.
