    I have a rehab property where I need carpet installed. removed the existing carpet. The pad is fine and there is vinyl flooring under the pad. Do not see the need to remove the vinyl flooring. Home Depot and Lowes will not install the new carpet over the vinyl flooring and existing pad. I will have the carpet on site, just need someone to install it.

    thanks.

    Steve,

    I'm curious. Did they tell you why they wouldn't do the install over the vinyl?

    Carpet over Vinyl

    • You can install carpet right over vinyl tile or any other type of flooring. Carpet will install easily with really no extra work than there would be installing over a wood floor surface. The only problem may be water seeping under the carpet and staining it. It also may be a little more difficult than installing carpet over padding.

    Preparing to Install

    • The first thing to do is to clear the floor and prepare to install. You should have a carpet piece that fits the size of the room. The next step is to install carpet runners around the edges of the walls. These can be glued right to the vinyl or tacked into the floor if it will take a nail. The other option is an all-adhesive install.

    I could not resist to reply to this as Lowes and HD are just seeking mo money. It makes no sense to remove the flooring I can not see why it would be a problem I have renovated thousands of homes and built over 1800 homes and was an asst. building official for 10 years and I have never heard of such garbage.

    They told me, they would not install on anything other than a wood subfloor or the concrete slab.
