Professional Carpet Removal
Whether you are upgrading to hardwood, tile, LVP, or fresh carpet, the job starts with proper removal of what is already there. Pulling up old carpet is more than just ripping it off the floor. It involves removing padding, pulling tack strips, cleaning up staples and adhesive residue, and inspecting the subfloor for damage before your new flooring goes down. We handle every step so your installer has a clean, ready surface to work with.

Preparing for New Flooring
The quality of your new floor depends on the condition of the subfloor underneath. After carpet removal, we inspect the subfloor for moisture damage, soft spots, unevenness, and any issues that need to be addressed before new flooring is installed. Whether you are putting down hardwood, tile, luxury vinyl plank, or new carpet, we make sure the surface is clean, level, and ready.
If you are having us install new carpet as well, we can handle the full job from removal to installation in a single visit. Ask about bundled pricing when you call for your estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does removal take?
A single room typically takes one to two hours. A full home can usually be completed in a day. The timeline depends on the size of the space, the number of layers to remove, and the condition of the subfloor underneath.
Do you dispose of the old carpet?
Yes. We roll up all old carpet and padding, bag the debris, and haul everything away. You do not need to arrange separate disposal. Your home is left clean and ready for the next step.
