I'm a 13 year old girl and I did this to my room all by myself. It wasn't hard. The difference though is it was concrete under the carpet, and there were nails instead of staples which made it easy for me. I am studying to be an interior designer and a architect. My first project will be my own home. I have to go to Lowe's and decide what I should use for the floor.🖌💼💳📅📌🛠🏘 (random emojis😂)

Hey, I'm a 63yr old woman in SW England - just about to get my living room redecorated and new carpet, first time in 20 years. Big upheaval needing lots of effort shifting book cases, furniture etc. The carpet estimator came yesterday, they can remove the carpet but will charge me and your video has inspired me to do it myself. I'd already had a little peep under the corner of the carpet and sussed out what I needed to do. It's a gross, manky carpet and needs to go. I'm gonna be the one who takes it out and away, ready for the nice new one coming soon. Cheaper than moving house lol. Thanks for your inspiration.

@@CatherineMartin-kz7cp On an £1800 new carpet estimate, I was quoted around £80 for carpet/underlay removal and disposal & yes, they do take it away. I've now taken up the old carpet & underlay which was quick and quite easy if you use a Stanley knife to cut it into strips about 120cm wide. The rolls fitted into the back of my car with the seats down and I took them to the local recycling centre. The worst bit by far is getting the gripper rods up round the edges - esp as they were hammered into a concrete floor. Be very careful of your eyes (wear protection) and your hands too.

Home Depot calls it a "industrial floor scraper" and it's truly a lifesaver. It will yank out a majority of the staples. The few staples it doesn't catch, you can go back and pull manually with pliers. Try to scrape WITH the wood grain so you don't take chunks out of your sub floor.

If you're a DIYer, if you have a hoe (garden tool, not a reference to another human), that works great to scrape up staples. I myself am a contractor and have a stand up scraper, if you're not opposed to spending $30 on one, that's the way to go. Also, no need to fold your carpet over, 95% of the time you can just release it from the tackstrip around the entire perimeter and cut the top of the carpet into strips. The only time you will have diffuculty cutting through the top is if you're carpet is so old it is saturated with dirt, or you didn't vacuum first, which I recommend doing.

Newsflash: if you buy a new house, usually built by contractors or commercial builders, anything that wasn't built for "yourself", it will have substandard EVERYTHING! Corners will have been cut everywhere. Sure, it'll look nice but you'll soon be redoing everything. This is how houses with carpet came about. No sane person with even modest mental faculties would install carpet in their own house. Carpet is an abomination :-) Or aluminum wiring. Or substandard electric panels, etc. Codes won't save you from everything.

sunny sunshinee Well the point is to tear stuff up. Putting the new carpet on, Maybe get some help or a pro. It's not that hard, but it's pretty easy to mess up on the cutting.

That's the fun part is messing up. Then you learn from the mistakes. I have taken the carpet out of my kitchen, bathroom, laundry room and a small walk in closet. For some reason the previous owner carpeted the entire house and with my two boys those areas had to go. Lamite floors were way easier to clean. I did most of it with out my husband's help while he was at work. It's just getting over that fear of failure or not looking good. I started my carpet riping up in the small walk in closet. It helped boost my confidence to do the bigger rooms. Plus it's cheaper to fix a small room than a larger room if do make mistakes cutting. Have a great day 🙂

Thank you very much... I was able to marvel my friends with this incredible technique. What they estimated would take 8 hours took only 2.

I use old rope to tie stuff up, my heart wept at all the duck tape used so generously. That's the fancy stuff I save for repairs and such.

I like the duct tape idea, cause I have spent so much time tying and re-tightening heavy twine. Old clothes line would work,too.
