What does floor removal include?

Floor removal involves carefully removing existing flooring materials such as carpet, LVP, laminate, hardwood, tile, and sheet vinyl to prepare the space for new flooring.

What types of flooring can you remove?

We can remove a variety of flooring materials, including carpet, LVP/LVT, laminate, hardwood, tile, sheet vinyl, and glue-down flooring.

Do you remove carpet and padding?

Yes. Carpet and its underlying padding can be removed and prepared for disposal as part of the project.

Can you remove glued-down flooring?

Yes. Glue-down flooring can require specialized removal methods to separate the flooring from the subfloor and address remaining adhesive.

Can you remove hardwood flooring?

Yes. Hardwood can be carefully removed using appropriate tools and techniques, whether it is nailed, stapled, or otherwise secured to the subfloor.

Can you remove tile flooring?

Yes. Tile can be removed along with the underlying setting material when necessary. Additional subfloor or concrete preparation may be required afterward.

What happens to the old flooring after removal?

Depending on the project, removed flooring can be collected and hauled away for disposal. Disposal requirements may vary based on the material and project.

Will the subfloor be ready for new flooring after removal?

Not always. Removing existing flooring can reveal adhesive, damaged areas, uneven surfaces, or other conditions that require additional subfloor preparation before new flooring is installed.

Can you remove flooring and install new flooring?

Yes. Floor removal can be coordinated with the installation of your new flooring, including the necessary surface preparation between the two stages.

How long does floor removal take?

The timeframe depends on the flooring material, size of the area, installation method, adhesive, and condition of the existing floor.

FLOOR REMOVAL

Prepare your space for what comes next with professional flooring removal services for carpet, vinyl, laminate, hardwood, tile, and other existing flooring systems.

Existing Flooring Removal

Start your flooring project with the proper removal of existing materials. Our team carefully removes old flooring to expose the underlying surface and prepare the space for the next stage of the project.

The removal process varies depending on the flooring type, installation method, adhesives, and existing subfloor conditions.

Ideal for: Renovations, flooring replacements, remodels, and spaces being prepared for new flooring installation.

Carpet Removal & Disposal

Remove old, worn, or outdated carpet along with applicable padding and installation materials to prepare the area for new flooring.

Our team works efficiently to remove the existing carpet while keeping the surrounding space organized and ready for the next phase of installation.

Ideal for: Bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, stairs, offices, rental properties, and whole-home flooring replacements.

LVP/LVT Removal

Existing luxury vinyl plank or tile can be removed to prepare the underlying surface for replacement flooring. The removal process depends on whether the material was installed as a floating, click-lock, or adhered flooring system.

After removal, the exposed surface can be evaluated for any additional preparation required before the new flooring is installed.

Ideal for: Flooring replacements, renovations, damaged vinyl flooring, and complete room updates.

Laminate Removal

Remove existing laminate flooring to create a clean starting point for your new flooring project. Floating laminate systems can typically be disassembled while removing associated underlayment and transition materials as required.

Once exposed, the underlying surface can be assessed to determine whether additional preparation is necessary.

Ideal for: Home renovations, damaged or outdated laminate, room updates, and whole-home flooring replacements.

Hardwood Removal

Hardwood removal requires careful handling due to the fastening methods and construction of the existing flooring. Depending on the installation, planks may be nailed, stapled, glued, or installed using another approved system.

Our team removes the existing hardwood methodically to prepare the area for the next stage of the flooring project.

Ideal for: Hardwood replacements, major renovations, damaged flooring, remodels, and flooring system upgrades.

Tile Removal

Removing existing tile involves breaking and lifting the tile while addressing mortar, adhesive, and other installation materials remaining on the substrate.

Proper removal helps expose the underlying surface so its condition can be evaluated and prepared for the new flooring system.

Ideal for: Kitchens, bathrooms, entryways, laundry rooms, and other areas undergoing tile or flooring replacement.

Sheet Vinyl Removal

Old sheet vinyl can require different removal techniques depending on how the material was originally installed and the type of adhesive or underlayment beneath it.

Our team removes the existing material as needed to expose the underlying surface and prepare the area for the next stage of installation.

Ideal for: Kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, rental properties, and renovation projects.

Glue-Down Flooring Removal

Glue-down flooring is bonded directly to the surface below and may require additional work to separate the flooring and address remaining adhesive.

We remove the existing flooring and prepare the area for any additional surface preparation required before installation of the replacement floor.

Ideal for: Commercial spaces, high-traffic areas, renovations, flooring replacements, and projects involving adhered flooring systems.

Flooring Haul-Away & Disposal

Keep your flooring project organized with convenient removal and haul-away of applicable flooring debris generated during the project.

Our team collects and removes eligible flooring materials from the work area, helping leave the space cleaner and ready for the next stage of your project.

Ideal for: Flooring replacements, renovations, remodels, multi-room projects, and whole-home flooring projects.
