Carpet Pad and Underlay Replacement in South Portland, ME

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 South Portland, ME 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 South Portland, ME.

Talk to a real person
Do I need to move my own furniture?
We handle it as part of the job. Clear small items, breakables and anything stored in closets, and we take care of the rest.
What is the difference between face weight and density?
Face weight is how much fibre is there. Density is how tightly it is packed. Density predicts wear better, which is why a dense 40oz carpet outlasts a loose 55oz one that costs more.
Should I clean my carpet or replace it?
If the traffic patterns lighten after cleaning it was dirt. If they stay, the fibre has lost its twist and cleaning will not bring it back. Rub the pile against the lay: if it stands up, you have a cleaning problem.
Do you charge separately for stairs?
Yes, and they are priced per tread rather than by area. Waterfall is quicker and cheaper; cap and band wraps each tread and riser and looks tailored. We will show you both on your own staircase.
How do I get an estimate in South Portland, ME?
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.
