Expert Floor Removal Services
Carpet Services Incorporated delivers mess-free floor removal and debris haul-away across Chicagoland. We strip your space down to a clean, level subfloor, ready for your beautiful new installation.
Don't Let Old Floors Compromise Your New Investment
Attempting DIY floor removal or hiring unvetted labor often leads to damaged subfloors, hidden moisture issues, and days of frustrating debris cleanup. Old adhesive, uneven underlayment, and multiple layers of forgotten flooring can ruin a brand-new installation before it even begins.
At Carpet Services Incorporated (CSI), we treat demolition with the same precision as installation. Our trained crews use specialized tools to safely extract carpet, tile, hardwood, and vinyl without gouging your subfloor. We handle the heavy lifting, the dust control, and the legal disposal, leaving your property spotless and perfectly prepped for the next phase.
Whether you are managing a rapid apartment turnover or remodeling your family home, our seamless floor replacement process ensures zero downtime and zero surprises. Subfloor preparation is always included in our post-removal inspection.
Deconstruction to Reconstruction
We have refined our floor removal workflow over 45 years to maximize speed, minimize mess, and guarantee a flawless foundation for your new floors.
Start Your ProjectProtect & Prep
We lay down heavy-duty protective runners in high-traffic areas and seal off adjacent rooms with dust barriers to protect your home or business during the tear-out.
Precision Tear-Out
Using specialized pry bars, floor scrapers, and oscillating tools, our crews carefully extract the old material, meticulously avoiding damage to baseboards, walls, and the underlying subfloor.
Adhesive & Staple Removal
We don't just pull the floor; we scrape away old glue, pull thousands of carpet staples, and remove tack strips to ensure the subfloor is completely smooth and bare.
Subfloor Inspection & Prep
Once cleared, we inspect the subfloor for moisture, rot, or unevenness. We can immediately perform necessary subfloor preparation to guarantee a perfect install.
Complete Debris Haul-Away
We bag, load, and legally dispose of all old flooring materials. When our crew leaves, your space is vacuumed, swept, and ready for the new flooring to be rolled out.
We Remove All Flooring Types
Different materials require different demolition strategies. Our crews are trained to handle the unique challenges of every flooring type safely and efficiently.
Carpet & Padding
We cut old carpet into manageable strips, remove all tack strips and thousands of hidden staples, and haul away the bulky debris, leaving a clean, bare subfloor.
Hardwood & Laminate
Nail-down and glue-down hardwood require careful extraction to prevent subfloor splintering. We meticulously remove planks and scrape residual adhesive.
Tile & Stone
Tile demolition is heavy, dusty work. We use industrial-grade equipment to break up ceramic, porcelain, or stone, followed by thorough scraping and vacuuming.

What Property Owners Say
Real results from real floor removal and replacement projects across Chicagoland.
"We needed old, glued-down vinyl removed from our entire first floor before installing new hardwood. The CSI crew was incredibly fast, surprisingly clean, and they even fixed a few soft spots in the subfloor they found during the tear-out. Highly professional."
"Managing a 40-unit building means constant turnover. CSI handles our carpet removal and disposal flawlessly every single time. They come in, strip the old carpet, haul it all away, and leave the concrete clean for the next install. Zero headaches."
"I was dreading the mess of removing our old bathroom tile. CSI protected our hallway, demolished the tile without damaging the surrounding walls, and had all the heavy debris gone by the end of the day. The subfloor was perfectly prepped for the new tile."
