Carpet Removal
Fresh Floors Start with Carpet Removal
Old carpet doesn’t last forever. Over time, it traps stains, odors, and allergens, no matter how often it’s cleaned. If you’re planning a home renovation, a carpet replacement project, or just want a change in flooring type, tearing out old carpet is the first step toward improved flooring. But the carpet removal process isn’t as easy as it sounds. Heavy rolls of carpet, stubborn tack strips, and thick carpet padding can make the job exhausting without the right tools, safety precautions, and hauling solutions.
At Simon Says Junk It, we make professional carpet removal simple. We use the proper tools—like a utility knife to cut carpet into strips, a floor scraper or heavy-duty long-handled floor scraper to loosen padding, and scraper tools for stubborn areas. We also wear the right safety gear: Dust masks, safety glasses, knee pads, and gloves for safety (including cut-resistant gloves, pads for safety, and heavy work gloves). We keep you and your flooring from damage while removing all the old carpeting, padding, and unwanted tack strips.
If you’ve got loose carpet, stapled-down carpet, glued-down carpet, or jagged tack strips that need removal, our team is here to handle it from start to finish.
Why Carpet Removal Matters
Carpet plays a huge role in your home or business. But over time, even higher-quality carpet wears out. Sharp tacks, loose dust, and odors trapped in fibers make living spaces uncomfortable. Old carpet also holds allergens, mold, and dirt that regular cleaning can’t remove.
By hiring us for your carpet removal project, you can prepare your home for fresh hardwood floors, laminate flooring, tile, or even cheap carpet options from carpet retailers or flooring supply stores. Removing old carpeting ensures a level subfloor, allows us to check the subfloor for damage, and sets you up for proper carpet installation or transitioning to another flooring type.
