Old Carpet Out, New Carpet In

Residential Carpet Replacement in Highland Park, Michigan

Your living room carpet has flattened traffic lanes that vacuuming will not lift, or your rental unit needs fresh flooring between tenants. Homeowners and landlords in Highland Park replace carpet when wear, odor, or damage has reached the point where cleaning no longer restores appearance or function. Replacing carpet in one visit removes the old material and installs new flooring without scheduling separate crews or coordinating multiple dates.

All improvement LLC handles both removal and installation in Highland Park homes, condos, and townhomes. The crew tears out your existing carpet and padding, disposes of the old materials, inspects the subfloor, and installs new carpet with fresh padding and secure tack strips. This approach is common in aging homes and rental turnovers where time and coordination matter.

How Removal and Installation Happen in One Visit

The crew arrives at your Highland Park property with tools for tear-out and the new carpet ready to install. They pull up the old carpet and padding, remove tack strips and staples, and haul everything off-site. Once the subfloor is clear, they inspect for moisture, soft spots, or uneven boards that could affect the new installation. New padding goes down first, followed by the carpet, which is measured, cut, and stretched into place.

After the work is finished, you will see clean seams, tight corners, and carpet that sits flush against baseboards and doorways. The room looks and feels completely refreshed without the gap between removal and installation that separate scheduling creates.

All debris from the old carpet is removed before the crew leaves. Minor subfloor prep such as sweeping or leveling small ridges is included, but major repairs to damaged boards or water-stained areas are scheduled separately if needed. Replacement does not include moving heavy furniture, though light items can be shifted as part of the work.

What Homeowners Usually Want to Know

People in Highland Park often ask about timing, disposal, and whether the subfloor will be ready for new carpet the same day.

What happens if the subfloor is not in good shape?
The crew inspects the subfloor after removing the old carpet and will note any soft spots, water damage, or uneven sections. If repairs are needed, they will explain what must be addressed before the new carpet goes down.
How long does a full replacement take?
Most single-room replacements in Highland Park take four to six hours from tear-out to finished installation. Larger spaces or multiple rooms require additional time depending on square footage and layout.
Why replace carpet instead of just installing new over the old?
Installing new carpet over old padding or worn subfloor leads to uneven surfaces, premature wear, and trapped odors. Removal allows the crew to inspect what is underneath and start fresh with clean padding and secure fastening.
What if I want to change carpet style or thickness?
You can choose a different carpet style, color, or pile height during replacement. The installer will adjust padding thickness and installation technique to match the new product specifications.
When should I empty the room before replacement?
You should clear small furniture, decor, and personal items before the crew arrives in Highland Park. The team can move lighter furniture such as dressers or nightstands, but heavy items like beds or entertainment centers should be relocated in advance.
