Getting the old floor out is half of getting the new one right.

Tile, carpet, VCT, cutback adhesive, thinset, failed coatings — out cleanly, contained, and hauled away. Whatever goes down next is only as good as the concrete we leave behind, so we treat removal as preparation rather than destruction.

Is this the right choice?

We'd rather tell you now than after.

Every finish is wrong for something. Here's where demolition & removal is the right call and where we'd point you somewhere else.

A good fit when…

Tile, VCT, carpet, wood or adhesive has to come out
A previous coating is peeling or delaminating
You're remodeling and the slab needs to be clean and sound
The building is occupied and dust control actually matters
You want one contractor doing removal and the new floor

We'd suggest something else if…

The work involves structural demolition — that's a different trade
You suspect asbestos in the mastic or tile — abatement first, by a licensed abater
You only want the surface material off and don't care what's underneath

How we do it

The parts that decide whether it lasts.

Adhesive is the part people underestimate

Pulling tile up is straightforward. Getting old cutback or thinset off completely is the actual work, and it's what determines whether the next floor bonds. Leaving residue is the most common reason a new coating fails.

Containment, because buildings stay open

Negative air, plastic barriers, HEPA extraction on the machines. We've done removals in occupied medical buildings and running retail. Dust ends up in our extractors, not in your merchandise.

We tell you if we suspect asbestos

Older mastic and 9x9 tile can contain asbestos. If we see indicators we stop and tell you to get it tested. We don't grind material we're unsure about, and no schedule is worth that.

One contractor from removal to finish

When the same crew does the removal and the new floor, nobody argues about whether the substrate was left acceptable. It's our problem either way, which tends to make it not a problem.

Straight answers

What people ask us about demolition & removal.

How much dust is there really?

Far less than an uncontained job, which is what most people are picturing. Our machines run to HEPA extractors and we seal off the work area. It isn't a clean room, but the rest of the building stays usable.

What about asbestos in old tile or mastic?

If there's any indication, testing comes first and licensed abatement handles it — not us. We'll tell you what we're seeing and why we've stopped. Grinding suspect material is not something we'll do on a schedule.

Do you haul everything away?

Yes, disposal is part of the scope. Old material out, site clean. If there's anything unusual about the waste stream we flag it before we start rather than surprising you with it after.

Can you do removal only, if another contractor is installing?

Yes. We'll leave a documented, clean, sound substrate and coordinate directly with whoever's installing so there's no argument about condition at handoff.
