The Carpet Replacement Process

In Business since 1987

At Elite Floors, our installation technicians are experts at installing your new carpet in a timely, efficient way. If you have an existing carpet in your home that you want to replace, we’ll remove your old carpet and make sure the new carpet is put down just right. We understand that having new carpeting put in can disrupt the everyday activities going on in a household. So, we go about our work in a fast and efficient way. We want you to start enjoying your new carpeting as soon as possible! Take a closer look at how we install the new carpeting that gives your home a whole new appearance.

Carpet Installation Steps

 

  1. Remove the moldings from doorways and other places at the edge of the carpeting. This helps to ensure that the carpeting will fit the room just right.
  2. Remove old carpeting from the floor if there is any. We may take it out in small sections or in large pieces, depending on how securely it is attached to your floor. We do this carefully to minimize the dust.
  3. Roll up the old carpeting and carry it out of your home.
  4. Take up the old tack strips from previous carpeting and lay down new strips for your fresh carpet.
  5. Remove the old under padding and dispose of it. This is always a good idea because over time, under padding can become stained and take on odors from a carpet.
  6. Install new under padding on the floor. A fresh layer of under padding gives some extra spring to your new carpeting!
  7. Review the measurements taken of the room before bringing in the new carpeting.
  8. Put the new carpeting down and carefully trim the edges so it conforms to the dimensions of the room.
  9. Use a carpet stretcher to make sure the carpet is secure over the tack strips and laid out properly along the perimeter of the room.
  10. Put the doorway and wall moldings back in place.
  11. Make a final check of the entire carpet to ensure that it is properly in place.
  12. Request that you look at your new carpeting, walk over it and make sure you’re satisfied with the work.

We are professional flooring company who back up the quality of our work. As far as we are concerned, we’re not finished with a job until the customer is satisfied! So, whether you opt for deep, plush carpeting in a rich color for your bedroom or light, short carpeting in a cheerful pastel for the hallway, make Elite Floors your go-to choice for quality installation services.

Call or email our knowledgeable staff today and start the process of getting brand new carpeting in your home!

We had tile installed in a shower and Leland did a great job. We are very happy with the end result.

Elite floors went above and beyond. We are so happy with our experience with them. They were competitive in pricing with other local businesses and also thorough and professional. We had them do all new floors, painting of all the interior, and painting of kitchen cabinets. Kristin was a great communicator throughout the whole process and was quick to address any questions or concerns. Both teams working on the paint and the floors were very kind and professional as well. They all truly care about doing the job right and you being happy with it when it’s all said and done. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. No one will beat their professionalism and customer service. Thank you Elite for making this process so smooth for us! We couldn’t have picked a better business.

Awful experience. Went in on a Saturday to buy a house of wood floors and the lady couldn’t even tell me pricing. They have these outdated books, some from 2021, that she was searching to find a price on one floor. Never mind that process on several options. What a mess!I’m really surprised they are still in business with how inefficient their business model is. Competing with the large companies like Floor and Decor, the local spots have to be exceptional and this was very far from that. Frustrated and headed to a larger Flooring store.

I want to highly recommend Elite Floors and they just completed our entire house (3200 sq ft in 3 days) and was the week before Christmas so we could actually have people over for the holidays. Their installers were very professional and when they completed they left everything perfect. They even installed wood flooring I purchased elsewhere. You cant go wrong with this company! Trust me I know as they came in and cleaned up what 2 previous fly by night flooring guys screwed up. Thank you Elite Floors!

Kristin was so helpful, and JoJo and her team did a great job on my installation. I had my carpet replaced with vinyl. I highly recommend them.

Elite replaced the flooring and baseboards throughout our home and did an amazing job! The install team had to do a lot of prep work to level out our slab due to previous foundation repairs. They knew their stuff. Our whole experience was positive from start to finish. We will be using them again on future projects.

We were ghosted by a tile installer with a unfinished stone travertine tile job. I called Elite and they sent a tile guy out the next day, and he did a great job. Very pleased with the finished tile work. They have earned our loyalty.

We used Elite Floors for new paint, new floors/carpet, and a remodel job. Randy did a great job with the time and cost estimates (they were on time and on budget). Emmanuel, Thomas, and Christian did an outstanding job with the painting, flooring, and carpentry. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again.

My experience with Elite has been exceptional from quote to completed job! Randy knows what he’s doing and he explained what would be done and why it needed to be done.JoJo and her crew of workers are the most hard working people I have ever seen! They came in and started work, no goofing around from these people, from start to finish.I would highly recommend Elite flooring to anyone who is in need of a new floor and wants it done the right way.

We hired Elite Floors last month to remove carpet and tile on almost the whole first floor and install luxury vinyl plank and new baseboards. Overall, it was a good experience. The project was completed on time and the crew cleaned up well each day. My husband had a couple of small concerns at the end and both were addeessed and fixed promptly. We absolutely love our flooring!

Hired this company for dustless tile removal. This is a big job that I started and realized I didn’t have the proper equipment for. These guys did an excellent job! Plastic and taped rooms off and all kitchen cabinets. They did the whole job in a couple hours and when they finished I swept the floor and didn’t hardly get anything up with the broom. (They clean up well!! Overall very impressed! Will definitely recommend to friends and family!
