Carpet Removal
In Elmhurst
We tear out the carpet, the pad under it, and the tack strip, then haul all of it and leave a clean subfloor ready for the installer.
Carpet out, floor ready, same visit
Carpet removal always has a step that stops a do-it-yourselfer cold. Maybe it is the stapled pad that comes up in shreds, maybe it is the tack strip with its row of nails, maybe it is just the weight of a rolled slab you cannot get to the truck. Our crew works through all of it: cut the carpet into rolls, lift the pad, pry the strip, sweep the staples. You get a bare subfloor, not a half-done project. We remove and haul only, so the new flooring is your installer's part.
Elmhurst uses a private hauler with a sticker system, where a rolled carpet takes one sticker per fifty pounds on your weekly day, around three and a half dollars each, and large appliances have to be scheduled ahead. A whole house of carpet turns into a stack of stickers and a careful weigh-out per roll. We come up from Plainfield by I-355 and Route 83, pull the carpet, pad, and strip in one visit, and haul it all so you are not counting stickers by the pound.
What we take on a carpet job
Carpet, any room
Whole floors of old carpet, cut into rolls we carry out cleanly instead of dragging.
Foam and rubber padding
The pad stapled to the subfloor lifts out with the carpet, not left for you.
Tack strip
The nailed strip around the edges, pulled so the floor is ready for your installer.
Stairs and landings
Carpeted stairs handled step by step with the treads, pad, and strip.
Basement carpet
Lower-level carpet, often damp. We cut it down and carry it up and out.
Pet or water damage
Carpet ruined by pets or a leak. We roll it, bag what needs it, and get it gone.
How a carpet removal works
Send a photo or the square footage and we quote the load before we drive out. The number we give you holds, with no hourly meter ticking. The crew does all the labor on the job: cutting, rolling, lifting the pad, pulling the strip, clearing staples, loading the truck. We leave the subfloor swept and ready. Carpet still worth reusing is donated where possible and the rest goes to proper disposal.
