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!<\/p>\n

Do you need to remove baseboard to install carpet <\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Is it OK for a door to rub on carpet? <\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Do carpet fitters trim doors <\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.
