Overview
The old floor comes out properly, not halfway
Removal is more than pulling up the surface. Carpet leaves tack strips and staples. Tile leaves thinset bonded to the slab or backer. Old vinyl leaves adhesive. Anything left behind shows up later as a bump, a hollow spot or a squeak under the new floor.
We remove the existing floor, clear the residue, protect the parts of the house we are carrying through, and haul the debris away so you are not left with a pile in the driveway. From there the subfloor is prepared and the new floor goes in — usually with the same crew, in the same schedule.

Yes. Debris disposal is part of the removal scope — nothing is left behind in your driveway or garage.
Tile removal is the dustiest part of any flooring job. We contain the work area, cover walk paths and use dust control measures, but it is honest to say it is disruptive while it happens.
Sometimes. It depends on how flat and sound the existing floor is and on the finished height at doors and thresholds. We look at it on site and tell you which option makes sense.
It depends on the floor type, the square footage and what is bonded underneath. Removal is quoted with the rest of the project after the free in-home measurement.
