What flooring removal and installation includes
Replacing a floor is more than laying new material. Cut a Rug Flooring handles every step with one crew, so you do not have to coordinate a mover, a demolition crew, a hauler and an installer. We install carpet, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, engineered hardwood and sheet vinyl.
Furniture moving
The crew moves the furniture in the work area so you do not have to.
Old floor rip-up
Carpet, tack strips and old vinyl come up, and the subfloor is scraped bare.
Haul-away
What comes up is bundled neatly and hauled away, with disposal itemized.
New floor installation
The new floor goes down over a prepared subfloor, then trims are fastened.
What happens on install day
Here is the order your crew works in, from walkthrough to final sweep.
Walkthrough with your crew lead
Transitions, door clearance and material batch numbers are checked before work starts.
Furniture moved
The crew moves the furniture in the work area, so you are not lifting dressers or couches.
Old floor ripped up and hauled away
Carpet, tack strips or old vinyl come up and go out, and the subfloor is vacuumed and scraped bare.
Subfloor inspected and prepped
Squeaks are screwed down, high spots are leveled and low dips are filled with self-leveling compound.
New floor installed
Planks are dry-racked to balance the pattern, or carpet is seamed with hot-melt tape, then the floor goes down.
Trims, clean-up and final walkthrough
Baseboards and transitions are fastened, debris is vacuumed up, and you review a checklist with the crew lead.

What to expect, and how to get ready
In your all-inclusive estimate
After a consult at your home or at our showroom, and a measure, your estimate itemizes:
- Tear-out of the old floor
- Floor leveling where the subfloor needs it
- Moldings and baseboards
- Disposal of what comes up
Before the crew arrives
A few simple steps keep install day smooth:
- Clear fragile items and electronics. Glassware and lamps go away, and computers and home theater gear get disconnected.
- Clear closet floors within 3 feet of the floor.
- Keep the climate steady. Hold heating and cooling between 65 and 75 degrees F before vinyl or wood plank arrives.
- Plan for pets and appliances. Keep pets in a separate room, and have the refrigerator water line and gas range disconnected for kitchen floors.
Showroom visits are by appointment.

Absolutely love Cut a Rug Flooring. Ben is amazing. He ripped off all our old flooring on our first floor. We had 4 different flooring (wood, tile, carpet, 2nd different tile). Replaced it with our choice (out of a ton of different options) of luxury vinyl. He was timely and efficient...

Removal and installation questions, answered
What does Full Service flooring removal and installation include?
Furniture moving, rip-up of the old floor, haul-away and installation of the new floor, all handled by one Cut a Rug Flooring crew. You get one all-inclusive estimate instead of hiring a mover, a hauler and an installer separately.
How is the job priced?
Your estimate is all-inclusive and itemized. Tear-out, floor leveling, moldings, baseboards and disposal each appear on it. The size of the job and the floor you choose shape it too, so the way to get a real number is to ask for a quote.
Do I have to move my furniture first?
No. Moving the furniture in the work area is part of the service. Please clear fragile items, electronics and closet floors ahead of time, and keep pets in a separate room.
What happens to my old carpet, tile or vinyl?
The crew rips it up, bundles it neatly and hauls it away. Tack strips come out too, and the subfloor is vacuumed and scraped to bare wood or concrete before the new floor goes in.
How do I schedule my installation?
Ask for a free quote and we will talk through the job. You then get an in-home or showroom consult, a measure and a clear all-inclusive estimate. Once you are happy with it, we schedule the crew.
