Carpet Pad and Underlay Replacement in Cincinnati, OH

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 Cincinnati, OH 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 Cincinnati, OH.

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.
What carpet pad should I get?
8lb rebond is the residential standard. Lighter pad breaks down early and shortens the life of the carpet above it. Pad thicker than 7/16 of an inch voids most manufacturer warranties because the backing flexes too far.
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.
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.
