Cubicle Lifting: Carpet Tile Replacement in a Office Setting Isn't as Daunting as You Might Think

Replacing carpet tiles in a busy corporate space filled with modular cubicles, furniture, and assorted office equipment can seem daunting to a business owner, but it doesn’t have to be. With proper preparation and the services of a highly-experienced, well-equipped flooring contractor, carpet replacement can be done with minimal interruption to your business.

It used to be that carpet replacement required the complete teardown of modular systems, removal of large furniture and equipment, and displacement of staff for extended periods. The process frequently resulted in damaged cubicles, misplaced or broken items, and major disruptions to productivity. The services of IT personnel, electricians, and movers would often be required, which added significant expense to the project. Some carpet contractors still follow this method of installation.

Over the past two decades, SRI & Co. has developed and refined a detailed carpet tile installation procedure including a lift system that eliminates the need for cubicle disassembly. Our projects are meticulously coordinated with clients, and we provide them with thorough instructions on how staff should prepare their workspaces such as clearing work surfaces, securing loose papers, removing objects from the floor, and labeling cubicles and office chairs. Clients are fully apprised of which tasks will be occurring, in which areas, and when.

SRI's system of lifting modular systems and furniture involves a combination of cubicle jacks, Johnson bars, chocks, airbag lifting devices, and various other tools. Carpet replacement can be done zone by zone during normal business hours, or we can schedule your installation at night or during a weekend to further minimize disruption. Before the project begins, all tools and materials are carefully prepared and staged, and our installers are fully apprised of how the work will proceed to ensure that your project is completed as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

If you are considering carpet installation or replacement in a corporate or any other setting, please contact SRI & Co. at 973-832-7627 and we'll be happy to assist you.
