Clean, Safe Floor Removal You Can Count On
Before beautiful new floors can go in, old floors have to come out. Floor removal is messy, labor-intensive work that requires proper tools, dust containment, and safe disposal practices. At Perez Flooring Contractors, we handle floor removal as a standalone service or as part of a complete floor replacement project across Woodland, Sacramento, and Northern California.
We remove all flooring types: carpet and pad, ceramic and porcelain tile, hardwood, vinyl and linoleum, laminate, and VCT. We also remove adhesive residue, thinset, and damaged subfloor materials — leaving your space clean and ready for new flooring or leveling.
Dust control is a top priority. Tile removal in particular generates enormous amounts of fine dust. We seal work areas, run HEPA filtration, and clean continuously throughout the project.

For homes built before 1980, we follow asbestos-safe protocols. We can arrange professional testing and, if needed, coordinate licensed abatement.
How It Works
Our Removal Process
Assessment & Planning
We inspect your existing flooring, identify potential hazards (asbestos, lead paint), and create a removal plan with timeline and cost estimate.
Area Preparation
We seal work areas with plastic sheeting, protect fixtures and surfaces, and set up dust containment with HEPA air scrubbers.
Professional Removal
Our crews use specialized tools — floor scrapers, ride-on machines, and dust-free grinders — to remove flooring efficiently and cleanly.
Adhesive & Residue Removal
We remove all adhesive residue, thinset, and old underlayment to leave a clean, smooth subfloor ready for new installation.
Disposal & Cleanup
All debris is loaded, hauled, and responsibly disposed of. Your space is left broom-clean and ready for the next phase of your project.
Precision Craftsmanship
Clean, Controlled Demolition
Our crews use professional-grade floor scrapers, ride-on machines, and dust-free grinders to remove flooring efficiently while keeping your home clean. HEPA filtration runs continuously.
We seal work areas with plastic barriers, protect fixtures and surfaces, and clean up completely every day — leaving your subfloor smooth and ready for new flooring.
Benefits
Why Professional Floor Removal?
Safe & Professional
Floor removal generates dust, debris, and potential hazards. Our crews use proper protective equipment, containment systems, and safe disposal practices.
Dust Containment
We use plastic barriers, HEPA air scrubbers, and dust-minimizing tools to keep your home clean during removal. Especially critical during tile demolition.
Complete Disposal
We haul away all debris including carpet, tile, hardwood, adhesive, and subfloor materials. No trips to the dump for you — everything is included.
Subfloor Inspection
Removal is the perfect time to inspect and repair your subfloor. We identify moisture damage, rot, and structural issues before new flooring goes in.
