Carpet removal
Recent Project in Cochrane
Old tan carpet coming up in a Cochrane bedroom. The installer lifts it off the tackless strip at the corner, exposing the blue pad underneath, with a pry bar on the floor ready for the strip once the carpet and pad are out.
This page is for tear-out when carpet isn't going back down. If you want new carpet, removal is part of our carpet installation job and quoted with it.
What turns up under old carpet
Loose subfloor boards that squeak, cracks in a basement slab, old moisture stains. We point these out before we leave, so your flooring installer isn't surprised. For a ballpark on new carpet, try the cost calculator.
