Looking to carpet some rooms in my house with carpet but they already have hard wooden in place. How do I go about replacing the wood with carpet but still keeping it level?
Would the floor butt up against another carpet and you are trying to keep the same height? If so, get a sample of the carpet you want to buy and a sample of the different pads available and see which ones come close to the height of the existing carpet. I just want to mention that hardwood floors are more desirable for resale and much more expensive to put in. Maybe you can get a very large carpet remnant to cover the area you like so you will have the feeling of having wall to wall but still keep the resale value of your hardwood..
Carpeting bedrooms is only dictated by your budget. The only variable is the price of the carpet, all other costs (installation, smoothedge, underlay) will be the same no matter what you choose.
When you say remove wooden floors....do you know what is already installed?
If you are only wanting to take the wood from the bedrooms but leave it in hallways etc, then the cost to remove wood planks (laminate?) may be around $20 per m2...
A lot depends on how the timber was installed, so I think it's best to get in a professional and get a free quote.
