wall to wall carpet removal
I am thinking of pulling up the wall to wall carpet from the living
room in my apt. Of course I have the approval of the landlord. What I want to know is what is involved...besides the physical removal of the carpet, and then removal of the strips around the edges, with the upside down nails that have kept the carpet in place. Thanks in advance for any advise, Bonnie |

If oak, could be stained from previous owners. The padding could be stuck to the wood in places. There could be many nail holes in the floor from previous installations of carpet. The padding could be randomly stapled to the floor. You could be getting in to a bag of worms. Peel off a corner and investigate what is underneath, and you will have a better idea of where to go from there. Lena |

....and you may have to install quarter round all the way around to cover the gaps between the floor and the molding along the wall that were covered by the carpeting. Lena |
