What We Remove

As part of a carpet removal project, we can remove:

  • ✓  Old carpet
  • ✓  Carpet padding
  • ✓  Tack strips
  • ✓  Carpet staples
  • ✓  Stair carpet
  • ✓  Hallway carpet
  • ✓  Basement carpet
  • ✓  Carpet in multiple rooms

We also handle disposal of the removed materials, so you don't need to arrange separate pickup or haul away.

Carpet Removal as Part of a Replacement Project

Most carpet removal projects are part of a larger carpet replacement. When you're replacing old carpet with new carpet, the existing carpet and padding need to come out first.

99 Carpets handles the complete process: removing the old carpet, preparing the subfloor, and installing the new carpet and padding. This approach simplifies the project and ensures the subfloor is properly prepared before installation begins.

Standalone Carpet Removal

In some situations, carpet removal is needed without immediate replacement — for example, when switching to hardwood, tile, or another flooring type, or when preparing a space for renovation.

We can evaluate standalone removal requests and provide an estimate based on the scope of the project.

What's Underneath the Carpet?

Before removing carpet, it's useful to understand what's underneath. Most residential carpet is installed over a subfloor — typically plywood, OSB, or concrete — with tack strips around the perimeter and padding underneath the carpet.

After carpet removal, the subfloor condition should be evaluated before new flooring is installed. In some cases, minor repairs or cleaning may be needed before the new carpet or flooring can be properly installed.

We evaluate the subfloor condition as part of the removal and installation process and can advise on any preparation needed.

Replacing Old Carpet

If your carpet is worn, stained, outdated, or simply ready to be replaced, 99 Carpets can help with the complete process: removing the old carpet, selecting new carpet and padding, and professionally installing the new flooring.

We bring carpet samples directly to your home so you can compare options in your own space before making a decision.

Carpet Removal & Disposal in New Jersey

Carpet Removal & Disposal in New Jersey

When old carpet needs to come out, proper removal is the first step toward a clean, prepared space.

99 Carpets provides professional carpet removal and disposal services throughout New Jersey. We remove old carpet, padding, and tack strips when required as part of the project.

Whether you're preparing a room for new carpet, changing to a different type of flooring, renovating a property, or simply need old carpet removed and taken away, we can evaluate the project and provide an estimate based on the actual scope of work.

Professional Carpet Removal

Removing old carpet involves more than pulling up the carpet itself.

Depending on the existing installation, carpet removal may include:

  • ✓  Removing existing carpet
  • ✓  Removing carpet padding
  • ✓  Removing tack strips when required
  • ✓  Removing staples and other fasteners when applicable
  • ✓  Separating carpet from edges and transitions
  • ✓  Preparing the area for the next flooring project
  • ✓  Loading removed materials for disposal when requested

The exact removal process depends on how the carpet was originally installed and the condition of the existing flooring.

Carpet Padding Removal

Old carpet padding is generally removed when preparing an area for new flooring.

Padding may be attached to the floor with staples, adhesive, or other installation methods. The removal process depends on the existing installation.

99 Carpets can remove existing padding as part of the agreed removal scope.

If you're planning to install new carpet afterward, we can also help you select appropriate new carpet padding.

Learn More About Carpet Padding ›

Tack Strip Removal

Carpet is commonly secured around the perimeter of a room using tack strips.

Depending on the next flooring installation, existing tack strips may be suitable to remain in place or may need to be removed.

When tack strip removal is required, we can include it as part of the carpet removal project.

We evaluate the existing installation and determine what needs to be removed based on the project requirements.

Carpet Disposal

If you don't want to deal with the old carpet after it has been removed, disposal can be included in the project depending on the amount of material and disposal requirements.

Disposal may include:

  • ✓  Old carpet
  • ✓  Carpet padding
  • ✓  Removed tack strips
  • ✓  Related carpet-removal materials

Let us know when requesting your estimate if you need the removed materials taken away so disposal can be included in the project scope.

Carpet Removal Before New Flooring

Removing old carpet is often the first step when changing the flooring in a room.

After the carpet and padding have been removed, the underlying floor can be evaluated to determine what preparation may be needed for the next flooring installation.

If you're planning to install new carpet, 99 Carpets can help with the complete process:

  1. Removing existing carpet & padding
  2. Evaluating tack strips
  3. Preparing the area
  4. Measuring the space
  5. Selecting new carpet & padding
  6. Installing the new carpet
  7. Completing seams and finishing details

Replacing Old Carpet With New Carpet

If your existing carpet is worn, stained, damaged, or outdated, you may simply need new carpet.

99 Carpets can coordinate the removal of your existing carpet and the installation of new carpet as part of the same project.

We can bring carpet samples to your home, measure the space, help you compare carpet and padding options, and provide an installation estimate.

If you're not sure whether your existing carpet should be repaired or replaced, we can also evaluate its condition and discuss your options.

The underlying surface may contain:

  • ✓  Staples & adhesive
  • ✓  Tack strips
  • ✓  Previous flooring materials
  • ✓  Surface imperfections
  • ✓  Damaged areas
  • ✓  Other installation materials

Once the carpet is removed, the underlying surface can be evaluated before the next flooring project begins. Additional preparation may be necessary depending on the condition of the floor.

How Much Does Carpet Removal Cost?

The cost of carpet removal depends on the size and complexity of the project.

Factors that can affect the price include:

  • ✓  Square footage & number of rooms
  • ✓  Type of carpet installation
  • ✓  Carpet padding & tack strip removal
  • ✓  Stairs & accessibility
  • ✓  Furniture
  • ✓  Amount of material requiring disposal

A single bedroom and an entire home can have very different removal requirements. We recommend getting an estimate based on the actual project.
