3:42 That is exactly the reason I'm watching this video! Thank you for the demonstration! Now I'm more confident about pulling out the carpeting myself in order to save money on my hardwood floor installation by a contractor! I'll be putting in floating laminate flooring. I'm hoping to have the contractor install the baseboards and the edges while I do all the middle portions myself to try to save even more money!

Thanks man, appreciate the no filler content.

Back in the 1990s I had to remove carpet from most of my house. I used a Ginsu kitchen knife to cut the capet into small pieces to put into garbage bags. The carpet had a heavy back. I was looking for your Pex videos and saw this one. It reminded me of the Ginsu Knife idea I had way back then before internet videos. You do a great job on your videos. Thank you.

Love this video. Most videos people talk too damn much you talk the perfect amount and you’re helpful.

@char_B 4 года назад

Very good advice! Not many people would think rolling carpet up will damage the paint on their wall.

Simple thing but glad i watched the video to cut in smaller piece that will save me alot grief haul this away.

@robertp7209 4 года назад

Be careful when cutting the carpet if you have a hardwood floor not just subfloor. Previous owners put carpet down. I found clear solid oak under the carpet, didn’t want the carpet and just refinished the oak.

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

Good tip!

@carmenflores6848 2 года назад

I’m actually going to start removing my carpet tomorrow I’m scared. But I know can I hope lol

@Maxid1 4 года назад

I worked for at&t for 30 years, in repair for 18 of those years. This is where we got a lot of our repair calls, when people would cut carpet out. The phone jack wires were often run in the gap under the base molding on top of the carpet. Sometimes we'd put in new jacks before the carpet went in so the wire would be under th he carpet between the wall and the tackless strip. They'd cut the wire or nick it when the carpet was cut out. Probably less of a problem now with the use of cell phones.

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

yes that could for sure be an issue ,I see them tucked under there all the time

@Maxid1 4 года назад

@michaelgalindo9162 4 года назад

Perfectly cut straight line, too

@keng7703 3 года назад

1st tip wear work boots or at least shoes. 2nd tip pull the carpet up and fold it over, carpet cuts easier from the back side.

@edh6062 4 года назад

This is great. Do you have any videos about installing carpet? I want to change the one in my bedrooms, they’re about 11 x 15. Thinking I can do it on my own, (with some of your help).

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

I do not unfortunately

@floorsbyfolts 4 года назад

another good way is to pull all of it loose from the tackstrip and fold back around a third and cut it from the back

@mikechiodetti4482 4 года назад

Nice straight lines too. Quick and easy. What about on concrete?

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

depends on the carpet. If its like this it will be basically the same . If its a foam backed carpet the foam may stuck to the floor and need to be scraped off.

@marcelobandeiracooper6547 4 года назад

I hope you can show us how to do the floor after this video, thanks

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

We have other flooring videos on our channel. This floor got new hardwood and we have a video for that already.

@TheTurbinator 4 года назад

Any plans in the future on how to install the carpet yourself? Is it quicker and easier to just DIY vinyl plank floors now?

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

I dont install carpet.

@hj8607 4 года назад

How often does the baseboard on your jobs need to be removed . I am not a carpet installer , but in many years of redecorating (professionally ) I don't recall ever needing to pull out the baseboard . (I would cut back the carpet to do better finish on base boards , letting the carpet people pull the bulk )

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

Depends what you are doing . In this case the flooring is changing to hardwood so the baseboard is too low and needs to be installed higher after the hardwood if completed .

@Phrancis5 2 года назад

Do you generally have to remove the baseboards too if it's only replacement carpet going in?

@HouseImprovements 2 года назад

Not always. Sometimes you can pull the carpet from under them and the installer can tuck the new carpet edge under again. Ask your installer.

@Phrancis5 2 года назад

@@HouseImprovements That's what I was hoping. Thanks

@bobbyp68 4 года назад

So if you did this yourself prior to a professional install what is the cost saved?

@josephrichardson4678 4 года назад

20$ idk. Lol

@mrboxy3970 9 месяцев назад

Old post, but dropping the disposal fee, labor, and any other small fees like consultation, shipping, and gas can save a few hundred. Smart thing to do is drop $40-$60 and 30-60min between tear up and install to use a primer like KILZ to treat the floor underneath. Anti-mildew/mold/urine barrier (pets kids etc), save you from replacing floorboards, or worse concrete on next replacement.

@jameskappel 4 года назад

Have wondered if the floor should be treated before laying down carpet. Prime Paint, Water proofing, from cleaning, etc,...

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

No need

@DillanBoutin 4 года назад

Only time you paint subfloor is if it absorbed pet urine. Then you can prime it with Shellac primer so it doesn't smell anymore.

@bbirtz 2 года назад

Can you remove and replace carpet without removing base boards?

@HouseImprovements 2 года назад

Sometimes, but it usually more hassle

@romanrivera4231 3 года назад

But what if there’s nice wood flooring underneath? A shallow cut then scissors?

@HouseImprovements 3 года назад

yes or hold the carpet up so you dont mark the floor with the knife.

@zaintareen2121 4 года назад

Hey shannon do you need to fill in all staple holes etc. Before putting in a floating floor such as laminate or engineered hardwood ?

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

no.

@pamelag7553 3 года назад

Cutting carpet smaller looks like an excellent idea but I have hardwood floors underneath. It's going to make cutting more difficult. Don't want to score the wood. 1 second ago

@HouseImprovements 3 года назад

Roll it as you cut and it will work ok.

@aaron74 4 года назад

Don't step on, or scrape your knuckles, on those tack strips. You'll be sorry. Ha ha

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

Absolutely ! Its like brushing up against a porcupine !

@edwardgyu7990 Год назад

Do you have to remove baseboard? 🙂🙂

@HouseImprovements Год назад

Usually works better.

@GuitarJeff 4 года назад

How would you go about this cutting and so on if that was really nice original hardwood floor under. Sadly i have this. People I bought house from covered beautiful oak hardwood with horrible ugly carpet, bright yellow and pink. Different color in each room. So pulling up prepping for either myself or maybe others to refinsh. Haven't decide yet.

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

hold the carpet up off the floor or folded back and cut

@ellenwelch8267 Месяц назад

That looks like very nice carpet!! Mine is HORRIBLY damaged from 30 years of life 🤷‍♀️

@HouseImprovements Месяц назад

This carpet was about 13 years old, the homeowner was switching to hardwood flooring.

@drewmusselman 4 дня назад

If you use a stand up floor scraper with the blade installed backwards (so it’s dull and not sharp, keeping it from biting into the subfloor) you can glide over the floor with it knocking most of the staples out without the need to pull everyone of them out individually, you will still have a few to pull out with pliers but it makes it go so much faster.

Damn that's the thickest canadian accent I've ever heard

@mikeroe8 4 года назад

Good information. But I have to ask, why aren't you wearing shoes? Are you testing us ?

@KennysCrap 2 года назад

Save u some time..... Before you roll up your pad run yoir 6in scraper under tye pad and kik up all the staples ..... Then roll the pad with the staples in it ... toss your pliers in the truk.. 1/4 the time easy ...... and 95% less mess to sweep up ...... Little pieces of pad dont sweep easily ....

@HouseImprovements 2 года назад

Good idea.

@josephrichardson4678 4 года назад

Haven't watched yet, but how about that carpet where the home owner just let's the dog piss in the house?? I hate those people.

@ginopav7712 5 месяцев назад

What's with the socks, you don't want to dirty the carpet before it goes in the container. Watch out for those nail strips and watch out for the health and safety guys.

Was not worth 2 add for new carpet removal!

@robertgiresi9515 4 года назад

The carpet looks to be in great shape. Such a shame to rip it into pieces just to throw in a landfill. I would prefer it if you removed it in full pieces and then donated it to Habitat for Humanity so someone else could us that perfectly good carpet and underpad.

@HouseImprovements 4 года назад

If the carpet is reusable that is a good idea, but when it is not there is no point.
