Twenty-year-old carpet and the padding under it, or the rolls your installer left in the garage. Either way, we'll haul it, and we'll pull it up for you if you'd like.
Free onsite estimate, no obligation
Full service: all the lifting, hauling and disposal included
Carpet is heavier and dirtier than it looks. A room's worth with padding is several hundred pounds of dust, staples and whatever soaked in over the years. We've handled 264 carpet jobs in the last 24 months, sometimes as the tear-out crew before a flooring install, often just hauling the rolls a contractor left behind, and frequently as part of a flooded-basement cleanup.
We cut the carpet into manageable strips, roll and tape it, pull the padding and tack strips, and sweep the subfloor. Carpet isn't recyclable in the Chicago market, so it goes to a licensed disposal facility, and we separate out any metal.

How Carpet Removal & Disposal Works
1
Book a free onsite estimate
Book online, or call or text (312) 800-1940. Pick an arrival window that suits you. Same-day and next-day are often available, Monday through Saturday.
2
The crew gives you a firm price on the spot
They take a look at everything and give you one number that covers the labor, loading, hauling and disposal. There's no obligation, so if it doesn't work for you, they simply leave and there's no charge.
3
Say yes and it's gone, in the same visit
The crew carries everything out from wherever it sits, loads it up, and sweeps up after themselves. Most jobs are finished right then and there.
4
All done, with a receipt to prove it
Once everything is loaded and swept, the crew takes payment and emails you a receipt with before-and-after photos, so you can see the job is complete.
A Westchester house had wall-to-wall carpet, some of it decades old, over the living room, dining room, hallway and two bedrooms, roughly 600 to 700 square feet.
A property owner turning over a second-floor unit in Chatham needed the carpet pulled from four rooms, plus a stove, a refrigerator, a bathroom sink and toilet, about 25 bags of garbage, and the contents of the cabinets and closets.
Either one. We can do the full tear-out (cut, roll, pull the padding and tack strips, sweep) or just haul the rolls you or your installer already pulled. The crew quotes whichever you need when they arrive.
Is old carpet recyclable?
Not in the Chicago area at present. It goes to a licensed disposal facility, and we pull and recycle the metal tack strips.
Can you remove carpet from stairs?
Yes. Stairs are slow work, with staples every few inches, and the crew accounts for that in the estimate.
My basement carpet flooded. How fast can you come?
Same day or next day in most cases. Wet carpet should be out within 48 hours to limit mold, so take photos for your insurer first and give us a call.
We don't quote by phone, because we'd rather give you a number we can stand behind. The crew comes out for free, looks at what's going and how it's getting out (stairs, elevators, heavy material and all), and gives you one price that covers everything. Say yes and they do the job right then. Say no and there's no charge, no hard feelings.
The price is confirmed on site before anything moves, so there are no surprises on the invoice. How our pricing works →
