Q: Is it easy to remove carpet?

• <div><p>Most DIYers can learn how to remove carpet although it&rsquo;s time and labor-intensive. However, if you have glued-down carpet and are concerned about damaging the substrate below, it's best to call a professional carpet remover. Also, removing glue-down carpet is more work than dealing with wall-to-wall carpet because you have to get rid of all traces of the adhesive from your subfloor to prepare it for a new installation. </p></div>

Q: How can I hide a visually unpleasant hardwood floor?

• <div><p>If the installer is unwilling to fix the problems and you&rsquo;re not interested in seeking remediation, you could hide a visually unpleasant floor. This will only work if the floor is structurally sound and the only issue you have is the way it looks. The easiest way to do this is to use large area rugs. You can also paint the floor, although that&rsquo;s a labor-intensive job if you want to go the DIY route. </p></div>

Q: Will installing carpet over carpet affect the warranty of the new carpet?

• <div><p>Installing carpet over carpet may affect the warranty of the new carpet. Check with the manufacturer or retailer regarding their warranty policies. Many warranties stipulate specific installation guidelines, and installing carpet over carpet may not comply with these requirements. Voiding the warranty due to improper installation methods can leave you without help in case of issues or defects with the new carpet.</p></div>

Elvis came out on time and told me that the whole floor would need to be replaced, and that was outside of my budget. I just wanted a couple of sections to be replaced.
