Remove Old Carpet Floors With Our Professional Carpet Removers
You can't just rip a carpet off your floor and toss it out! Removing carpeting requires a gentle touch to avoid damaging your subfloor and to prevent leaving dust, allergens, or adhesive behind. Carpet can be glued down, stretched over padding, or stapled into place—the initial installation makes a difference. The team at Artistic Flooring in Virginia Beach understands this and can help you. Our carpet removal services will leave your subfloor clean, level, and ready for your new floors. Forget the hassle and let us remove your carpet today.
How Artistic Flooring Professionally Removes Carpet
Our team takes a conscious approach to carpet removal to ensure your subfloor is ready for your next flooring installation. Let us break it down for you.
Preparation:
The first step is determining how the carpet was initially installed. Additionally, we move furniture out of the way and protect surrounding surfaces to keep your space clean and debris-free.
Carpet Removal:
We can remove the carpet once we've prepared the space. If the rug was stretched-in, we lift it from the tack strips and roll it up for easy disposal. If the carpet was glued down, we use floor scrapers to disconnect it from the adhesive to remove it without damaging the subfloor. In the case of a stapled carpet, we remove the staples and lift the rug off the subfloor.
Subfloor Cleanup and Preparation:
Next, we clean and inspect the subfloor, ensuring no adhesive, staples, or debris are left behind. We also offer subfloor repair and leveling services if the subfloor is uneven.
Types of Carpet We Remove
Carpets can be installed in a number of different ways. There are also a couple of different types. We offer the following types of carpet removal:
Glued-down carpet Removal:
This type of carpet is stuck to the subfloor using a special flooring glue called an adhesive.
Stretched-In Carpet Removal:
As the name states, this type of carpet is stretched across the room and secured to the subfloor using tack strips.
Commercial Carpet Removal:
These heavy-duty carpets are used in offices, hotels, and retail stores and can be installed using either of the previously mentioned methods.
Carpet Tile Removal:
These tiles differ from traditional carpets in that they are glued down and can be individually removed and replaced.
Why Choose a Professional Carpet Removal Company?
Removing carpet isn’t as straightforward as you think. Improper handling can damage the subfloor, create excessive dust, and bring up unexpected costs. Here’s why you should ask flooring contractors to remove your carpet.
Save Time and Effort
Carpet removal can be tedious, especially if you don't know what you're doing. It can also be physically demanding. When you get it professionally removed, you don't have to worry about heavy lifting, adhesive removal, and disposal.
Proper Equipment and Techniques
Most people don't have tools like floor scrapers, staple removers, and dust-containment systems on hand. When you hire flooring contractors, you can know the carpet removal process will be done right.
Prevent Subfloor Damage
A damaged subfloor is an additional cost. If you hire someone to remove your carpet instead of doing it yourself, you can rest easy knowing your subfloor will remain intact, level, and ready for your flooring installation.
Cleaner Space
Let's face it—carpet removal can be messy, and you probably don't want to deal with cleanup alone. A great team thoroughly cleans up, minimizing dust and improving air quality in your home or business.

What should I do after my carpet is removed?
After we remove your carpet, we can move forward with installing your new flooring as long as the subfloor is level and damage-free.
Is it worth removing carpet yourself?
Absolutely, get rid of it. Carpet holds onto everything, dust, dirt, allergens, you name it. No matter how often you clean, it’s still a magnet for grime. There’s a reason many cultures stick to tile or wood flooring, it’s just easier to maintain and far more sanitary. Once you realize what’s lurking beneath, you’ll never look at carpet the same way again.
