Preparing Your Home for Hardwood Floor Refinishing

At Pasquale Floors, about 35% of our hardwood flooring projects in Cleveland and surrounding suburbs involve removing existing carpet from hardwood floors or staircases.

“Do we need to remove the carpet, or can you handle that?”

👉 The answer is: We can absolutely take care of it for you.

Can I Remove Carpet Myself?

Yes—you can remove carpet yourself to save money.
