Carpet Removal in Greensboro — What’s Included
Carpet removal jobs in Greensboro cover living rooms, bedrooms, stairs, and whole-house replacements before new flooring goes in. We pull the carpet, cut it into rolls for loading, remove the tack strips, and haul everything out.
Stairs take longer per square foot than flat rooms. If you have a two-story home with carpeted stairs, that’s typically an additional 45–60 minutes on the job. The tack strips on stair risers and treads require careful removal to avoid damaging the underlying wood — especially if you’re putting hardwood down and want a clean surface to work with.
Padding under carpet is almost always included in the job at no extra cost — it comes out with the carpet as a standard part of the process. If there’s a plywood subfloor underneath with staples that need to be pulled, mention that; it’s a different scope and adds time.
Old carpet from Greensboro homes typically can’t be recycled in standard streams — the backing and adhesive make it difficult to process. It goes to disposal. Some carpet from commercial properties with clean backing qualifies for specialty recyclers, but residential carpet almost never does. We’ll be honest with you about that rather than overpromising on environmental outcomes.
