Take any doors off the hinges that swing into the room where the carpet will be removed using a screwdriver and hammer. Close the door and position the tip of the screwdriver at the underside of a hinge-pin cap.

Clear all furnishings, lamps and electronics out of the room, as needed, for a clear floor space. As an added measure, take any pictures and wall hangings off the walls.

Ask as assistant to help pull the edge of the carpet 3 feet away from the short wall. Use your hands to lift up and detach the carpet from the tack strips at the base of the remaining walls in the room.

Start at the first edge of the carpet that was detached from the tack strip at the short wall and roll the carpet into a tight roll from end to end.
