Fleming Island, FL
Carpet replacement covers the whole job: we pull up the old carpet and pad, haul them away for free when new carpet replaces them, check the tack strip and the floor, and put down new pad and carpet. It is usually time to replace when the carpet is matted in the walkways, stains and smells come back after cleaning, or a pet has soaked the pad. Fleming Island's riverfront setting and low elevation mean humidity levels are notably higher than inland Clay County. Homes here also contend with proximity to the St. Johns River floodplain, and many neighborhoods experienced minor flooding during significant rain events. Waterproof flooring is not optional for ground-floor living in much of Fleming Island — it's a practical necessity.
In-stock carpet runs $1.50–$3.50 per square foot installed with new pad. Special order runs $3.50–$5, and premium $5–$10+. When new carpet replaces old carpet, we tear out and haul away the old carpet free. Stairs are $200 flat per staircase (pie steps, spiral stairs and custom wraps extra). Furniture moving is included in our All-In carpet packages; on in-stock carpet it is a separate line at $0.60/sq ft. $500 job minimum.
Most homes are done in one day. Carpet comes on 12-foot-wide rolls, so a room wider than 12 feet both ways needs a seam. Want to see where the seams will go? Ask and we'll show you at the measure, before you buy.

Fleming Island's housing stock is overwhelmingly single-family homes built from the late 1990s through the 2010s — a mix of planned-community subdivisions (Eagle Harbor, Fleming Island Plantation) and custom waterfront homes on the river. Most homes are in the 1,800–3,500 sq ft range, on concrete slab, with open living areas that benefit most from LVP or tile.

If cleaning cannot get the stains or smells out, or the carpet is matted, torn or showing the backing, replacing it is the better buy. The pad soaks up odors and pet accidents that cleaning cannot reach. If the pad is soaked, the carpet will not smell clean no matter how often it is cleaned.
We pull it up with the pad and haul it away. When new carpet replaces old carpet in a home, that is free. Taking out a different floor, like vinyl, laminate or tile, is priced by the square foot and written on your quote.
