How to Know When It's Time to Replace Your Carpet
5/6/25
Is Your Carpet Past Its Prime?
If your carpet is looking tired or feeling less than cozy, it might be time for an upgrade. Here are a few clear signs it's time to refresh your flooring and give your space a stylish new start:
- Wear and tear with flair: Notice frayed edges, stubborn stains, or a general lack of luster? If your carpet looks more tired than trendy, it's likely time to replace it.
- Odors that won't quit: If there's a persistent odor lingering—even after a deep clean—your carpet might be harboring hidden mold, mildew, or bacteria. A fresh start could mean a fresher home.
- Allergy ambush on repeat: If your carpet seems to be triggering sniffles, sneezes, or wheezing, it could be trapping allergens and dust. Your health may thank you for an upgrade.
- Age ain't just a number: Most carpets have a lifespan of 8–10 years. If yours is creeping past that mark, it may be time to roll out the old and roll in the new.
- Fashion faux pas: Still rocking a ‘90s pattern or a color that clashes with your current décor? A new carpet can instantly modernize your space.
-
Comfort matters: Carpet should feel plush, not patchy or rough. If it’s lost its cushion or feels uneven, it’s time to bring back the comfort.

If any of these signs are giving you the nod, it's time to consider giving your carpet a well-deserved retirement. Our Flooring Experts are here to help! Stop by one of our showrooms or schedule an In-Home Shopping appointment today.
