Old carpet out—and the included material hauled away
Glued carpet does not peel up like ordinary stretched carpet. The backing can split, small pieces can stay behind, and old adhesive may still be on the floor afterward. We will explain what the removal includes and what your flooring installer may still need to do before the new floor goes down.
What can be included
- A test lift at an exposed edge when practical
- Cutting and pulling up glued carpet or carpet tile
- Collection of loose carpet and backing pieces
- Carry-out from the listed rooms
- Haul-away and proper disposal of included materials
What matters at a Brunswick property
A downtown building, a one-story home, and a busy office can have very different ways in and out. Tell us about stairs, parking, narrow halls, elevators, and where we can load the old carpet.
We handle requests from homes, apartments, rental properties, offices, shops, and other commercial spaces. Every estimate is based on the actual rooms, carpet, furniture, and access at the property.
What can change the work
Strength of the glue
The age of the carpet, amount of adhesive, and type of floor underneath all affect how easily it releases.
Carpet tile
Some tiles lift cleanly. Others split or leave backing and glue behind.
Work after removal
Grinding, glue removal, leveling, and moisture work are separate unless your estimate specifically includes them.
What to send for a free estimate
- Send a close photo of a lifted corner if one is already exposed.
- Tell us whether the floor underneath is concrete, wood, or unknown.
- Share the approximate room size and the path to the nearest exit.
- Ask your new flooring installer how clean and smooth the floor needs to be.
