Things You'll Need:
- Furniture jacks
- Utility knives
- Carpet tile
- Furniture dolly
-
Step 1
Before the carpet replacement have the occupants of the cubicles box up everything sitting on the floor. Anything that can be placed on the desk tops should be, and anything that can be moved into non carpeted areas like break rooms easily should be.
-
Step 2
Box up the contents of the top drawers on file cabinets, and the contents of storage cabinets. These will stay where they are for now, but they need to be partially unloaded so they won't break when moved a few feet during the carpet replacement.
-
Step 3
After the office workers have gone home, use special modular furniture jacks to jack up the cubicles one small section at a time.
-
Step 4
As a section comes off the floor, cut the carpet and take it out in pieces.
-
Step 5
Stick down adhesive carpet squares once the broad loom carpet is removed.
-
Step 6
Lower the modular furniture back down onto the carpet squares.
-
Step 7
Repeat moving across the floor, lifting the furniture in a slow wave, cutting out the old carpet, and replacing it with new carpet squares. When you get to cabinets, move them a few feet over onto new carpet, then move them back when you've replaced it.
