Even well-maintained carpet eventually reaches a point where another cleaning just isn’t enough. Stains, worn areas, rippling or bunching, and aging padding can all be signs that it’s time to consider replacement.
For a recent flooring project, Champion Floor helped a homeowner replace aging beige carpet that covered much of the second floor. The carpet had been professionally steam cleaned several times over the years, but was showing stains and general wear. It had also started separating from the base and bunching in several areas.
With new paint and décor planned throughout the home, it was the perfect time for a flooring update, too.
How Do You Know When It’s Time to Replace Carpet?
A few common signs can tell you your carpet may be nearing the end of its useful life:
- Rippling, bunching or carpet that no longer lies flat.
- Stains that remain even after professional cleaning.
- Worn or matted areas, especially in high-traffic spaces.
- Aging or deteriorating carpet and padding.
- Flooring that simply no longer works with your home or style.
Some carpet issues can be repaired or professionally cleaned, but when you’re seeing a combination of age, wear and comfort issues, replacement may be the better long-term solution.
A Full-Service Carpet Replacement
One of the benefits of working with Champion is that we can help with the entire carpet replacement project, rather than leaving you to coordinate different companies for each step.
For this home, the homeowner selected and purchased their new flooring in our showroom before installation began. Different carpet and hardwood selections were chosen for the primary bedroom, guest bedrooms, home office and secondfloor hallways, giving the spaces their own character while coordinating with the new wall and ceiling paint colors.
Once the flooring arrived and installation was scheduled, our team handled the rest.
Professional Carpet Removal
We removed the existing carpet and old padding throughout the project areas, including the aging carpet that had begun bunching and showing years of wear.
Removing old carpet properly is an important part of the replacement process. Our installers take care of the removal so the space can be prepared for the new flooring without the homeowner having to coordinate a separate contractor.
New Carpet Padding
With the old flooring removed, we prepared the spaces and installed new, plush carpet padding.
Padding isn’t the glamorous part of new carpet, but this is where you really feel the difference. The right foundation contributes to the comfort, support and long-term performance of the carpet installed above it.
Professional Carpet Installation
Finally, our experienced installers completed the new carpet installation, paying attention to measurements, stretching, seams, edges and transitions between the different flooring surfaces.
The finished second floor now combines new carpet and hardwood selected specifically for the way each space is used, while creating a fresh look that complements the home’s updated paint and décor.
