Smart approach to floor & carpet removal
Vinyl on top of linoleum on top of hardwood; subfloors hidden under layers of glue or even asbestos-based cutback adhesive; carpets from the 80s that collected decades of dust, dirt, and smells; tiles set over cracked concrete, just waiting to become a real structural liability.
Indeed, Portland homes present some unique challenges when it comes to flooring demolition – and that’s why we never just “start ripping.” Our experts begin every job with a thorough and detailed assessment, identifying materials and methods used during installation.
Once we’ve figured out the best and safest strategy, we move on to actual floor or carpet removal, deconstructing each element with surgical precision. Finally, we round it all off with a cleanup so thorough, that you’ll think we were never there.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to remove old flooring?
It all depends on the materials and methods used during the installation, as well as the square footage. For instance, carpet disposal in a medium-sized Portland home can take only a few short hours. However, glued-down vinyl, layered hardwood, or tile floor removal can take a full day or more, even if the space size is exactly the same.
Is tile flooring hard to remove?
In general, yes – tile floor removal is among the loudest, dirtiest, and labor-intensive tasks, especially if it’s set in thick mortar or over concrete. It often requires specialized tools, such as power chisels and demo hammers, along with strict dust and debris control. For these reasons, this type of work should always be performed by trained and experienced professionals.
What is the fastest way to remove carpet?
The fastest – and safest – way is to hire a reputable carpet removal service in Portland. Aside from specialized tools (e.g., pullers, scrapers), pros also have the training, the technique, and the muscle memory to pull the carpets and padding out fast – without damaging the subfloor and nearby elements, or leaving behind a mess.
How do you cut up and dispose of carpet?
Once separated from the (sub)floor, we typically cut the carpet and the pad into manageable strips, roll them up, secure them with tape, and remove them from the premises. Then, we tackle the leftover materials (e.g., nails, strips, staples, etc.) and larger debris. Finally, we load everything up and haul it away for proper, compliant disposal or recycling.
