Clear the route, separate what stays and give the removal crew the measurements that change the job.
Practical guides for preparing rooms, understanding hidden layers, planning stairs, scoping glue-down work and coordinating commercial carpet-tile removal.

Clear the route, separate what stays and give the removal crew the measurements that change the job.

Padding, staples, tack strips, adhesive and an unknown substrate can all change the handoff after carpet comes up.

Count the steps, identify the installation and decide what finish should remain before anyone pulls the first edge.

Bond strength, backing and the residue standard matter more than the carpet color or room count.

Plan the work zones, building access and flooring handoff before tile stacks reach the hallway.
