Best Answer

Typically installed carpet is removed by carefully removing the small piece of moulding (1/4 round) at the bottom on the baseboard. Its probably pressing down on the carpet to keep it in place. Gently pry the moulding off with a flat screwdriver or putty knife. Do not remove the baseboard. When its off, you can see how the carpet is fastened to the floor. If its a metal strip around the edge, pry it up to release the carpet. You can cut the carpet with a razor knife to make it easier. Be careful not to cut the flooring underneath - it might be nice wood flooring or tile that you would like to keep.
