Under Staircase Makeover | DEMO DAY
What happens here
After the drywall is mostly removed, the homeowner proceeds to remove the carpet from the floor of the former closet. He rolls up the carpet and padding, then uses a pry bar to remove any remaining baseboards and tack strips, ensuring the floor is cleared down to the subfloor. This prepares the base for new flooring suitable for a kitchen-adjacent area like a beverage bar or pantry.
Goal: Remove the existing carpet and any remaining baseboards and subfloor material from the understairs space.
