Old carpet out—and the included material hauled away
Padding is often the messiest part of an old carpet job. It may come up in sheets, tear into pieces, or stick to the floor. We will look at the installation, explain what needs to come out, and list the carpet, padding, tack strips, and staples separately on your estimate.
What can be included
- Removal of the old carpet
- Removal of padding from the listed rooms
- Tack-strip and staple removal when included
- Cleanup of loose padding and carpet pieces
- Haul-away and proper disposal of included materials
What matters at a Dock Junction property
Show the nearest parking or loading spot, any steps, and the route through the property. Those details matter when rolls of carpet and bags of padding have to be carried out.
Requests may come from houses, apartments, rentals, and small commercial spaces. The estimate depends on the real installation and access, not a generic local price.
What can change the work
Stapled padding
Padding over wood is often held down with many staples, especially near doors and seams.
Glued padding
Padding over concrete may leave foam or glue behind after the main material is removed.
Older material
Aged padding can crumble instead of rolling up, which adds handling and cleanup time.
