Remove Carpet and Padding

What happens here

After baseboards are removed, the carpet and its underlying padding are tackled. The team uses a utility knife to cut the carpet into long, manageable strips. These strips are then rolled up tightly and secured, along with the foam padding, to facilitate easy disposal. Special attention is given to removing the tack strips, which are typically nailed to the perimeter of the subfloor to hold the carpet in place. A tack strip remover or a pry bar is used to safely dislodge these strips and their nails.

Goal: Cut carpet into manageable strips, roll them up along with the padding, and carefully remove the tack strips from the subfloor.
