Carpet Pad and Underlay Replacement in Portsmouth, NH

Pad is where cheap carpet quotes hide, and it matters more than most of what goes above it. It carries the impact of every footfall, protects the carpet backing from abrasion, and decides how the floor feels underfoot.

The residential standard is 8lb rebond. A 6lb pad costs less and breaks down early, which shortens the life of the carpet sitting on it, so the saving is borrowed rather than real. Going the other way does not help either: pad thicker than 7/16 of an inch flexes too much under the backing and voids most manufacturer warranties, so thicker is not better past a point.

Carpe Diem Floors replaces pad as part of any carpet installation across Portsmouth, NH rather than laying new carpet over old. Old pad holds whatever has been spilled on it and has already compressed where the traffic was.

If a quote does not name the pad weight and thickness, it is not a complete quote. Ask before comparing prices.

Carpet Pad And Underlay Replacement FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Carpet Pad and Underlay Replacement

Questions we hear most often about Carpet Pad and Underlay Replacement in Portsmouth, NH.

Talk to a real person
How long does carpet installation take in Portsmouth, NH?
A typical three-bedroom house is one day. Stairs add time, patterned carpet adds more because of the repeat match, and moving furniture is the variable nobody budgets for. We give you a realistic figure at the measure rather than an optimistic one on the phone.
Why is my patterned carpet quote higher per yard?
Pattern repeat has to match at every seam, which consumes more material than the room area suggests. A quote that ignores the repeat is not cheaper, it is incomplete, and it will come back for more money.
What carpet pad should I get?
8lb rebond is the residential standard. Lighter pad breaks down early and shortens the life of the carpet above it. Pad thicker than 7/16 of an inch voids most manufacturer warranties because the backing flexes too far.
Will you find problems under my old carpet?
Sometimes, and we would rather tell you. Squeaks, soft spots and water staining are all cheap to fix while the subfloor is exposed and expensive once new carpet is over them.
How do I get an estimate in Portsmouth, NH?
Call (888) 984-0848 and we book an in-home measure. Samples come to you, because showroom lighting flatters carpet in a way that living rooms do not.
