About this service

What's included
What Our Carpet Removal Service Includes
Every carpet removal job includes tear-out, pad removal, tack strip pulling, staple scraping, and haul-off to a licensed facility. Add-ons like furniture moving or subfloor scraping are quoted upfront. Here is what you get as standard.
Tack Strip and Staple Removal
Tack strips come up with a pry bar, and every staple gets scraped or pulled. We do not leave sharp strips for your installer to find with a knee. The subfloor is swept and vacuumed before we leave.
Full Debris Haul-Off
Carpet, pad, tack strips, and staples go into our dump truck and to a licensed disposal site. Nothing sits on your curb. We can provide a disposal receipt for landlords and property managers.
Furniture Moving On Site
We move sofas, beds, and dressers to one side using a furniture dolly and appliance hand truck. If you want the furniture hauled too, we quote that as an add-on before we start.
Subfloor Prep and Vacuum
After tear-out, we scrape adhesive, pull remaining staples, and vacuum the deck. Your flooring installer gets a clean surface. For carpet and flooring removal Balitmore Maryland projects, this step saves time and avoids surprise labor charges.
How it works
How Our Carpet Removal Process Works
You call (443) 379-4285 or text photos of the rooms. We ask about square footage, stairs, and whether the carpet is glued down. You get a flat quote in 10 to 15 minutes. No in-home estimate needed for most jobs.
We lock a two-hour arrival window, often same-day. You get a text when the crew is 30 minutes out. If you are handing off keys to a tenant or realtor, we can coordinate access directly so you do not have to be on site.
Our two-person crew moves furniture to one side using a furniture dolly and appliance hand truck. We lay drop cloths at the door and along the haul path. Floors, baseboards, and door frames get protected before a single blade touches carpet.
We slice carpet into four-foot strips with a reciprocating saw and utility knife, roll each section, and carry it out on a hand truck. Pad and tack strips come up next with a pry bar and shovel. Everything goes straight into the dump truck.
We scrape staples, vacuum the subfloor, and do a final walkthrough with you or your installer. The job is done when the room is broom-clean and the truck is loaded. Most single rooms take 45 to 90 minutes from arrival to handshake.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use for Carpet Tear-Out
Reciprocating Saw
Cuts carpet into four-foot strips fast, especially glued-down and thick plush. It also slices through pad and backing so rolls stay manageable on stairs.
Pry Bar and Sledgehammer
Pulls tack strips off the subfloor and breaks up stubborn adhesive patches. The sledgehammer handles glued-down edges that a pry bar alone cannot lift.
Furniture Dolly and Appliance Hand Truck
Moves sofas, dressers, and appliances out of the room without dragging them across floors. The appliance hand truck handles fridges and washers found during cleanouts.
Hand Truck and Lifting Straps
Carries rolled carpet and pad out of basements and up rowhouse stairs. Straps let two movers handle heavy rolls safely on narrow Baltimore staircases.
Dump Truck and Debris Box
Holds the full load of carpet, pad, tack strips, and staples. The debris box keeps the truck bed organized so we can separate scrap metal and e-waste.
Work Gloves and Shovel
Protects hands from staples and tack strips. The shovel clears loose debris and pad crumbs from the subfloor before vacuuming.

More carpet means more rolls and more truck space. A single bedroom is a quick job. A whole house with four bedrooms and a finished basement takes a full truck load and a longer visit.

Rowhouse stairs and narrow hallways slow the crew down and require smaller rolls. We bring lifting straps and a hand truck sized for tight turns, but access still affects the price.

Carpet glued to concrete does not roll up. It has to be cut into sections with a reciprocating saw and scraped. That adds labor and time, so it carries a higher rate than standard tack-strip carpet.

Crumbling or soaked pad is heavier and messier to remove. We bag it separately and haul it, but badly degraded pad can add time to the job and a small disposal charge.
