Floor removal and leveling

Tile, carpet, laminate or glued-down vinyl: we take it up and get the slab flat and ready for the new floor.

What’s included

  • Carpet, pad and tack strip removed and hauled away
  • Ceramic tile and thinset taken up
  • Glued-down vinyl and old laminate removed
  • Self-leveling compound where the slab dips

Why leveling matters

New plank laid over dips and humps flexes, clicks and pulls apart at the seams. Leveling is the difference between a floor that lasts and one that doesn’t.

Tile comes up clean

When ceramic tile comes out, the thinset under it gets scraped back too, so the new floor sits flat instead of riding on ridges.

Questions people ask

Do you take out the old floor?

Yes: carpet, tile, laminate and glued-down vinyl, and we haul it away. Removal is listed on its own line in your quote so you can see what it costs.

My floor isn’t flat. Can you fix it?

Yes. Where the slab dips, usually after tile comes out, we pour self-leveling compound so the new floor has a flat base. We check before we quote so there are no surprises.

How much will it cost?

It depends on the square footage, what has to come out first, and how flat the floor is underneath. Text us a few photos and rough room sizes and we’ll send a written quote with removal, prep, trim and stairs priced line by line.
