How to Remove Carpet and Hardwood Floor Restoration
Carpet Removing and Hardwood Restoration 5 Simple steps on how to remove carpet: 1. If the room has any tack strips remove them all. Using a utility knife start cutting the top of the tack strips to avoid peeling the paint off the wall.
2. Use a hammer or a screwdriver to pull off the tack strips. Be delicate when you do this especially if you’re planning to use those baseboards again. 3. Start by peeling off the carpet from the corner. Fold the carpet, roll it up and remove it.
4. Remove the carpet padding. It will be glued to the floor or stapled to the area. If it is stapled, use a screwdriver to remove the remaining staples. 5. Carefully remove the reminders of the tack strips with a hammer or a screwdriver. You might need a crowbar to use as a lever to take off stubborn, old tack strips.
