How long does floor removal take?

The majority of single-room removals can be completed within a day. Whole-home projects can take two to three days based on the flooring type and square footage. Generally, tile removal takes longer than carpet or vinyl, but we do provide clear timelines during your estimate.

Do you handle disposal and hauling?

We do. Our team hauls away all old flooring, padding, tack strips and debris as part of our removal service. You don't have to worry about dumpsters or dump runs because we handle everything from start to finish.

What if you find mold or damage during removal?

We assess the problem, document our findings and discuss options before moving forward. Common problems like moisture staining can be addressed during prep work, while other problems may need attention right away.

Can you test for asbestos in old flooring?

We can't perform asbestos testing ourselves. However, we do recommend testing vinyl or any other flooring installed before the 1980s. If asbestos is present, we coordinate with abatement professionals before removal begins.

Floor Removal Services We Offer

Complete floor removal is essential for your next flooring installation project. Our local contractors are equipped with the tools to remove your old flooring with ease. Check out the removal and demolition services we offer across O’ahu:

Vinyl Flooring Removal

Old vinyl can leave behind layers of adhesive that need grinding or chemical removal. We strip away sheet vinyl, peel-and-stick tiles and stubborn adhesive without damaging the subfloor beneath. This leaves behind a smooth surface ready for your new floors.

Carpet & Padding Removal

Carpet removal involves pulling tack strips, removing padding, cleaning staples and addressing staining or damage underneath. We strip everything down to the bare subfloor and check for moisture or structural issues before installation day.

Laminate Flooring Removal

Floating laminate floors are pretty easy to remove, but glued-down products can be a little more tricky. We carefully remove planks, address adhesive residue and check subfloors for any damage that needs repair before moving forward.

FAQs

FAQs About Floor Leveling in Honolulu

How do I know if my floors need leveling?

Walk across the room and feel for surface dips, humps or uneven areas. We also check with straightedges and levels during consultations. If your floors have more than 1/8″ variation over 10 feet, leveling is usually needed.

Does floor leveling add a lot of time to my project?

It comes down to the extent of the work. Minor leveling can be completed the same day, while more severe concrete subfloor issues can add several days for curing. We provide clear timelines during your consultation so you can know what to expect.

Can you level floors in occupied homes?

We can. Although floor leveling creates dust and requires workspace, we contain messes, protect your belongings and work on a flexible schedule to minimize disruption. Most leveling work happens before moving furniture back in.

Do all flooring types require leveling?

Every flooring material has a different tolerance level. Rigid vinyl isn’t as forgiving as carpet tiles, but proper leveling improves performance and helps every flooring material last longer. We assess situations on a case-by-case basis.
