recarpeting

Replacing floor covering

Recarpeting is installing new carpet, typically to replace old or worn flooring.

The word implies the space had carpet before: The hotel is closed for recarpeting.

It functions as both a verb form and a noun describing the process itself: The recarpeting took three days.
