Why not just do it in-house
Carpet tear-out looks simple until the glue and tack strips start fighting back. Here's why facilities teams hand it to a crew that does it every day.
Hidden labor & time
Glue-down and tack strips fight back. A crew that does this daily clears a floor in a fraction of the time.
Disposal headaches
Most transfer stations charge by weight and won't take loose carpet curbside. We handle hauling and recycling.
Injury & dust
Box cutters, staples, and adhesive dust cause real injuries. Our crews are insured and equipped.
Business disruption
A half-finished tear-out closes a floor. We schedule after-hours and finish in one window.

Office carpet removal FAQ
Common questions from facilities managers, contractors, and business owners.
How much does office carpet removal cost in Chicago?
Most commercial carpet removal runs about $0.50–$1.50 per square foot depending on whether it's tacked, glued down, or tiled. Small offices often start around $250. We confirm a firm price after reviewing the space or floor plan.
Do you remove glued-down carpet and adhesive?
Yes. We pull glue-down carpet and scrape up the bulk of the residue. Full adhesive grinding for a polished-concrete finish can be quoted separately if you need the slab fully prepped.
Can you work after hours or on weekends?
Absolutely. Most office and retail carpet tear-outs happen evenings or weekends so your team isn't disrupted. Call (888) 308-7556 to schedule around your business hours.
Do you remove tack strips and padding too?
Yes — our crews pull the carpet, padding, and tack strips, then sweep the area so the floor is ready for your next install or coating.
Will you recycle the old carpet?
Whenever a local facility accepts it, carpet and padding are recycled. The rest is disposed of responsibly and legally — never illegally dumped.
Do you handle large multi-floor or whole-building jobs?
Yes. We scale crews and trucks for full-floor and multi-tenant buildings, coordinate with property managers, and can invoice for commercial accounts.
