You don’t have to wrestle with heavy rolls of carpet or make multiple trips to the dump — we do everything.

Why Remove Old Carpet?

There are plenty of reasons homeowners and landlords in Rexburg decide it’s time for the carpet to go:

• Allergies and air quality — Old carpet traps dust, pet dander, pollen, and mold spores deep in the fibers and padding. No amount of vacuuming gets it all out. Removing carpet can dramatically improve indoor air quality.
• Water damage — If carpet has been soaked from a leak, flood, or burst pipe, the padding underneath holds moisture and breeds mold. It needs to come out.
• Wear and tear — High-traffic areas get matted down, stained, and frayed over time. At some point, cleaning just won’t cut it anymore.
• Updating your home — Many homeowners are moving away from carpet in favor of hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, or tile. Pulling up the old carpet is the first step.
• Preparing a rental — Between tenants, old carpet often needs to be replaced. We work with property managers and landlords across the area to turn units over quickly.

Our Carpet Removal Process

Carpet removal is straightforward, but doing it right takes the proper tools and a plan. Here’s how we handle it:

Assessment and Quote

We look at how many rooms need carpet removed, whether the carpet is stretched over padding or glued down, and what the access situation is (stairs, tight hallways, etc.). Then we give you a flat price that covers everything — removal, hauling, and cleanup.

Removal Day

Our crew shows up on time with utility knives, floor scrapers, pry bars, and pliers. We cut the carpet into manageable strips, roll it up, and carry it out. Then we pull up the padding, rip out the tack strips, and pull out as many staples from the subfloor as possible.

The Tricky Stuff

Not all carpet removal is the same. Here are some situations that require extra attention:

• Glued-down carpet — Common in basements and commercial spaces. The carpet is adhered directly to the concrete or subfloor with heavy-duty adhesive. We use commercial floor scrapers to remove both the carpet and the glue residue.
• Stair carpet — Stairs take more time because each tread and riser has its own carpet piece, tack strips, and staples. We remove it all and clean up each step.
• Multiple layers — In older homes, it’s not unusual to find carpet laid over carpet, or carpet over old linoleum. We pull up every layer.
• Asbestos concerns — Homes built before 1980 may have old vinyl flooring or adhesive containing asbestos underneath the carpet. If we find something suspicious, we’ll stop and advise you to get it tested before we continue.

Cleanup and Haul-Off

Once the carpet, padding, and tack strips are out, we sweep the subfloor and carry everything to our trucks. All materials are hauled away and disposed of properly. You’re left with a clean surface ready for whatever flooring comes next.

How Much Does Carpet Removal Cost?

Carpet removal is one of our most affordable services. Pricing depends on:

• Square footage — More carpet means a bigger job, but per-square-foot pricing often gets cheaper as the job gets larger.
• Type of carpet — Standard carpet over padding is the easiest and cheapest to remove. Glued-down carpet and commercial carpet tile cost more due to extra labor.
• Stairs — Stair carpet adds time and cost.
• Condition of the subfloor — If we need to spend extra time removing stubborn adhesive or excessive staples, that can add to the price.

For most rooms in Rexburg homes, carpet removal is surprisingly affordable. Give us a call at (662) 666-6494 and we can often give you a ballpark estimate over the phone.
