Nocatee, 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. Nocatee's proximity to the Intracoastal Waterway and extensive pond/wetland network throughout the community means ambient humidity is higher than further inland areas of St. Johns County. Large-slab concrete construction in newer Nocatee homes is generally well-sealed, but we still recommend moisture testing before any floating floor installation.
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.

Nocatee is 100% new or recent construction — the oldest homes in the community are barely 15 years old. Builder-grade vinyl plank and carpet are standard in most new Nocatee homes, and upgrading to wider-plank LVP, large-format tile, or engineered hardwood is one of the first renovations new residents undertake. The open-concept floor plans here show off flooring like no other layout.

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.
