Installing carpet in your home can be a daunting task, but removing doors is often a necessary step. This is because doors can get in the way of the carpet installation process and can make it more difficult to lay the carpet evenly.
No, you don’t need to remove doors to install carpet.
Do I have to remove all furniture to install carpet?
Hi,
As long as you move all small items such as breakables, knick nacks, electronics, etc we can move most larger furniture items such as beds, tables, sofas, dressers, etc.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

If you need to remove an inch or so from a hollow core door to allow for a thicker carpet, it’s no big deal. However, if you cut off too much – roughly 2 inches or more – you may notice that the edge of the door is no longer solid. So be careful not to overdo it!
Do you need to remove baseboard to install carpet
If you are having new carpet installed, be aware that in many cases the moldings and baseboards will need to be removed. The installer may do this, but it will likely come at an additional charge. And, if there is any damage or breakage due to dry or brittle wood, the installer is unlikely to be responsible.
Please be advised that a team of independent carpet installers hired by Lowe’s will be arriving at your home on Jul 21, 2022. If you have any furniture that needs to be moved, the installers can take care of this for an additional charge (costs will vary). Thank you for your cooperation.
Who moves the furniture when you get new carpet?
If you have any larger items of furniture or appliances, you will need to arrange for these to be moved by a third party. Your installer will be responsible for removing and disposing of your old carpet.
It’s important to factor in the time it will take to remove furniture and flooring when considering how long a carpet install will take. In our experience, it’s best to set aside a full day for the install. Expect the install to take between 6-8 hours if the installer is working in a team.
Is it OK for a door to rub on carpet?
If you have a door that is repeatedly rubbing against the carpet, it can cause the carpet in that area to wear prematurely. If the door is rubbing against a hard surface, like a wood or laminate floor, both the floor surface and the door will be damaged.
This is true, but it’s also important to remember that not all carpet is created equal. Some types of carpet are better quality than others and will therefore add more value to your home. Be sure to choose a carpet that is durable and easy to clean so that it will last for many years and continue to increase the value of your home.
Do carpet fitters trim doors
Carpet fitters can help with the installation process by trimming doors, but this may be an additional cost. You may need to ask a professional carpenter to do this before the installation of your new carpet.
Most flooring applications do not require you to remove existing baseboards. If you are installing new baseboards, make sure to measure the thickness of your flooring material so that the new baseboards will fit snugly against the wall. Baseboards are installed using nails or screws. Be sure to use the appropriate fasteners for your wall material.
Do you install doors before or after carpet?
It is important to install your carpet after your doors and trim are already installed. If you were to install vinyl or tile, you would do the same thing but hold off on any quarter round trim until you are completely finished. The important thing to consider, particularly for pre-hung doors, is how high to install it off of the subfloor.
Baseboards should be installed before flooring is laid down, as it is much easier to finish them in place without worrying about staining the flooring material.
How much does it cost to carpet a 12×12 room
Carpet is a common flooring choice for many homes and businesses. It is relatively inexpensive and can be found in a variety of colors and styles to match any decor. Carpet is also relatively easy to install, which makes it a popular do-it-yourself project.
If you’re looking to install carpet in your home, you can expect to pay between $350 and $11 per square foot, according to HomeAdvisor. This means that for a 10 x 12 room, you’ll be paying approximately $420 to $1,320. This price includes the cost of the carpet, padding, and installation.
Do you tip carpet installers from Lowes?
Carpet installation is a service that is often overlooked when it comes to tipping. Unlike hairstylists and nail techs, carpet installers do not typically expect to receive tips. If you’re working with a big box retailer (like Home Depot or Lowes), their installers usually aren’t allowed to accept tips anyways. Keep this in mind the next time you have new carpet installed in your home!
We are offering a small charge for vacuuming the floor and spraying an anti-microbial called Healthinex. This will be done before installing the new carpet. If you are concerned about pet odors, we also have options to treat that as well.
