Carpet Pad and Underlay Replacement in Milwaukee, WI

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 Milwaukee, WI 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 Milwaukee, WI.

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.
Can I put carpet in a basement?
Yes, with synthetic backing, a moisture-tolerant pad, and often carpet tile rather than broadloom so a section can be lifted and replaced after a leak. Slabs pass moisture vapour even when they feel dry.
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.
What is the difference between plush and frieze?
Twist level. Frieze has the highest twist, so the fibres stand up and hide footprints and vacuum lines. Plush shows every one of them. Frieze is the practical choice for a busy household.
