Frequently Asked Questions

How much does carpet removal cost?

Carpet removal pricing is typically based on room size or square footage. Expect $1-2 per square foot for basic carpet and padding removal. A standard 12x15 bedroom would be $180-360. Get your exact price instantly using our online booking system by entering your room dimensions.

Do you remove carpet padding too?

Yes! Most quotes include both carpet and padding removal since they come up together. When booking online, you can specify if you only need carpet or both carpet and padding for accurate pricing.

Can you remove tack strips and staples?

We can! Tack strip and staple removal is an additional service since it's more time-intensive. This leaves your subfloor completely clean and ready for new flooring. Just add this option when booking online if you want a fully prepped floor.

How long does carpet removal take?

A typical bedroom takes 30-60 minutes. Larger rooms or multiple rooms take longer. Whole-house carpet removal (3-4 bedrooms) usually takes 3-5 hours depending on square footage.

What if I'm getting new flooring installed?

Perfect timing! Many flooring installers either don't remove old carpet or charge premium rates for it. We can schedule your carpet removal right before your installation date. Book online and coordinate with your flooring timeline.

Can you remove carpet from stairs?

Yes! Stair carpet removal is a bit more detailed but we handle it all the time. When booking online, note that you have stairs so we can schedule adequate time and provide accurate pricing.

What about carpet in my basement?

Basement carpet is very common and we remove it regularly. Basements sometimes have more moisture issues, so let us know if there's any mold concern when booking (we may need to adjust our approach).

Will you damage my hardwood floor underneath?

We're very careful during removal to avoid damaging the subfloor or existing hardwood. We use proper techniques to lift carpet and padding without gouging or scratching. If tack strips are very old and brittle, there may be minor marks where they were installed, but we minimize any damage.

Can I keep my old carpet?

If you want to keep it for garage use, drop cloths, or any reason, just let us know before we start. We can roll it up and leave it for you rather than hauling it away.
