Carpet Removal Services in Redford, MI
Why Carpet Removal Is an Essential First Step
Removing carpet might seem simple, but there’s more to it than pulling up the surface layer. Underneath the carpet is a network of tack strips, padding, staples, and sometimes glue — all of which must be properly removed to avoid problems with your new floors.
Skipping or rushing this step can lead to:
- Uneven surfaces that affect installation
- Squeaks or soft spots beneath your new floors
- Adhesive residue that affects finish bonding
- Moisture or odor trapped under subfloors
- Delays during hardwood installation
Our expert team ensures all materials are removed, surfaces cleaned, and subfloors inspected — saving you time and avoiding costly repairs later on.

When to Replace Carpet with Hardwood or LVP
If your home still has carpet in living areas, bedrooms, hallways, or stairs, now is a great time to upgrade to
hardwood flooring or
luxury vinyl plank (LVP). These materials not only offer better aesthetics — they also improve long-term value and indoor air quality.
Reasons to replace old carpet include:
- Stains or permanent odors
- Excess wear, matting, or ripples
- Allergens and dust buildup
- Outdated style or color
- Moisture damage or pet issues
- Preparing to sell your home
Hardwood flooring is easier to clean, longer lasting, and adds resale appeal. Plus, modern flooring designs offer endless customization for every room in your home.
Ideal Rooms for Carpet Removal
We commonly remove carpet from:
Living rooms and family rooms
Bedrooms and closets
Stairs and hallways
Basements and bonus rooms
Home offices and dens
Entryways and foyers
Many of our clients remove carpet as part of a complete flooring upgrade, but we’re happy to assist with standalone carpet removal jobs as well.
Carpet Removal + Subfloor Prep
Every great floor starts with a solid foundation. That’s why we pair our
carpet removal services with full subfloor preparation.
This includes:
- Identifying squeaky areas or loose subfloor panels
- Sanding uneven spots
- Checking for mold, moisture, or rot
- Installing underlayment or moisture barrier (as needed)
- Ensuring proper leveling for hardwood or vinyl plank installation
Skipping this step is one of the top causes of flooring problems — but we make sure it’s done right the first time.
Our Refinishing Process
We take a step-by-step approach to ensure consistent, high-quality results on every floor we refinish. Here’s what to expect:
Free Estimate
We visit your home, measure the area, inspect your carpet and subfloor, and provide a clear, detailed quote. No hidden fees.
Step 2: Carpet & Pad Removal
We carefully cut and remove carpet in sections, along with any padding and staples. We dispose of everything properly, so you don’t have to worry about hauling materials.
Tack Strip & Staple Removal
Next, we remove tack strips around the perimeter and extract every remaining staple or nail from the subfloor to ensure it’s smooth and safe.
Subfloor Inspection & Prep
We inspect the subfloor for damage, mold, or high-moisture areas. If needed, we’ll make minor repairs or recommend solutions for leveling or moisture protection.
Clean-Up
We sweep, vacuum, and prepare the area for your new hardwood or vinyl flooring installation. Your space is left clean and ready for the next step.
