    Clean, Safe Floor Removal You Can Count On

    Before your 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, 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.

    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.

    Seamless Transition

    When we handle both removal and installation, the transition is seamless. One team, one schedule, one point of contact for your entire project.

    Common Questions

    Floor Removal FAQ

    Tile removal generates significant dust. We use plastic barriers to seal off work areas, run HEPA air scrubbers continuously, and use dust-minimizing grinding equipment. We also protect HVAC vents to prevent dust from circulating through your home. Our goal is to leave your home cleaner than we found it.

    We load all debris into our trucks and dispose of it at licensed facilities. Carpet and pad go to appropriate waste processors. Tile and concrete debris go to construction recycling centers when possible. We include disposal costs in our estimates, no surprises.

    Carpet removal is fastest, a typical room takes 1–2 hours. Tile removal takes 1–2 days per room due to the labor-intensive nature of the work. Hardwood and vinyl removal fall in between. Whole-house removal projects typically take 2–5 days depending on materials and square footage.

    Carpet removal costs $1–$2 per square foot. Tile removal costs $3–$6 per square foot. Hardwood removal costs $2–$4 per square foot. These prices include disposal. Adhesive removal, subfloor repair, and asbestos testing are additional if needed. We provide exact quotes during our free assessment.

    Flooring materials installed before 1980, especially 9x9 vinyl tiles, sheet vinyl, and adhesives, may contain asbestos. We can arrange professional testing before removal. If asbestos is present, we coordinate with licensed abatement contractors to ensure safe, compliant removal.
