need to replace in my bedrooms. BUT, I have some VERY heavy/Burly furniture re; huge gun safe, HEAVY chest of drawers (full of bullets and crap, reloading table and book case

Bed needs to be taken apart probably

will these companies like Nebraska FM, etc do all this?

Next, what type carpet to replace? Gun room gets solvent and crap on the floors.

Most carpet is plastic Buzz. Watching the manufacturing process is crazy

Tile or laminate.....I ripped out every stitch of carpet in our house....then you can get a couple rugs. You can clean or simply replace as necessary....

I plan to replace my carpet as soon as Muffin is gone. I don't wear shoes in the house and sleep at 65° or colder. Don't plan to wake up to a cold floor. Different strokes for different folks. Got my last one replaced by Home Depot.

We recently removed the last of the carpet in our home. It is now all ceramic , laminate and pvc planks. If I were to do it again , I would not go with
any laminate , just PVC planks.

My floors have a 12mm thickness and 20 mill covering.

My floors have a 20 year commercial warranty and a lifetime household warranty.

Yep, if you are going to continue loading and cleaning in there the new carpet will get stained. Just wait until you move to replace it.

I love good thick expensive carpet, but the wife doesn’t, so we don’t have much - just two of three bedrooms. In the previous house, in Houston, I made sure we got the good stuff and thick carpet padding. Wonderful carpet. I miss it.

I clean the ceramic tile in my kitchen once with a wet swifter sweeper. I do not have a maid service. There is no way I'm dusting my entire house once per week. Il be selling my house in a few years. The realtor told me that I would get my money back. It's different strokes for different folks. I have enough wood in my house with my block paneling.

If you buy carpet, make sure it's nylon.
Anything else is crap.
