Carpet in Hurst's Older Homes and Rental Units
When we pull old carpet in a Hurst house built in the 1950s or 1960s, there may be oak strip flooring underneath. If you would still rather have carpet, we keep the impact on that wood small: tack strip stays at the perimeter, where baseboard covers most of the nail holes, and we pull the old staples so the floor is clean for whoever uncovers it next. In homes from the 1970s on, carpet usually goes over concrete, where the tack strip is fastened into the slab and the cushion has to lie flat over cracks and old patches.
Rentals make up a big share of carpet work in the city. Census estimates count about 6,600 renter-occupied homes in Hurst, around 42 percent of the total (American Community Survey, 2020 to 2024). A landlord replacing carpet between tenants usually wants a stain-resistant product, a short schedule and a clean result that photographs well for the listing. We can quote one carpet across several units, meet a property manager on site and haul the old carpet and pad away the same day it comes up.
