You never know what you’re going to find underneath an old carpet – well, besides the dirt. Maybe you’re thinking about doing the carpet removal yourself to save a little bit of money. Depending on how long the carpeting has been down and how it was laid, you could be in for a time-consuming process, especially if you’re dealing with a retail or commercial space.
The actual carpet removal is just the first step.
In most instances, the carpet (and/or padding if used) in retail, commercial, and office buildings is laid using direct glue down or double glue down installation. While this process increases the carpet’s durability and reduces instances of buckling and seam peaking, when it comes time for carpet removal, it causes major headaches. Not only do you have to remove the carpet and the padding, you also have to remove mastic and adhesives from the subfloor.
