What Tear-Out and Disposal Includes

The crew starts by pulling up carpet along the edges, then removes padding and tack strips that hold the material in place. In Highland Park properties, older installations may have staples or adhesive residue that need to be scraped or pulled before the subfloor is fully clear.

After removal, the subfloor is visible and you can see whether it needs cleaning, leveling, or repair before new flooring goes down. The room feels open and unfinished until the next material is installed, but the space is ready for that work to begin.

All improvement LLC hauls away all carpet, padding, and debris as part of the service, so you do not need to arrange disposal. The crew sweeps the subfloor and removes any leftover staples or tack strips unless they will be reused. This service does not include subfloor repairs or new flooring installation, but those can be arranged as separate steps.
