What do you do first ?

Question

I am redoing my apartment, do you paint first or change the carpet first ? I have permission from my landlord.

Answer 1

paint first then replace the carpet.. you don't want to ruin your new carpet

Answer 2

you paint first.just in case you spill any you do not have to worry about getting any on the carpet.

Answer 3

paint first, whether you pull the old carpet out before hand or not.  but don't install new carpet until painting is done.  some touch up might be necessary after new carpeting is in, in case they bump the walls or something.  good luck!
