Whether you’re updating your home’s interior, preparing a commercial space for renovation, or dealing with water-damaged carpets, KJ Haul Away provides professional carpet removal services to make the process smooth and hassle-free.
Old carpets can harbor dirt, allergens, and mold, making their removal crucial for maintaining a clean environment.

Our professional teams specialize in handling all aspects of carpet removal, including heavy lifting, junk removal, and disposal.
Benefits of Professional Carpet Removal
Time-Saving & Efficient: Removing carpet on your own can be a time-consuming process. Professionals handle the job efficiently, saving you valuable time.
Safe and Damage-Free Removal: Improper removal techniques can damage subflooring and surrounding areas. Experts ensure a safe process that protects your flooring.
Proper Disposal & Recycling:
Many carpets are made of synthetic materials that require specialized disposal. KJ Haul Away follows environmentally friendly disposal and recycling methods.
Heavy Lifting & Haul Away: Carpets, padding, and adhesive residue can be bulky and heavy. Our strong crew handles the heavy lifting and proper disposal for you.
Health & Hygiene Benefits: Old carpets can trap allergens, dust mites, and bacteria. Removing them improves indoor air quality and creates a clutter-free, clean environment.
Carpet Removal Process
Step 1: Inspection & Preparation
Before starting, our team assesses the condition of the carpet and identifies any challenges, such as glued-down carpets or tack strips that require careful removal. We ensure that all unwanted items, furniture removals, and office furniture are relocated before starting the process.
Step 2: Cutting and Rolling the Carpet
To make removal more manageable, the carpet is cut into smaller, transportable sections. These sections are then rolled and secured for easy handling and disposal.
Step 3: Removing Carpet Padding
Most carpets have padding underneath, which also needs removal. Padding may be glued down, requiring additional techniques for proper extraction.
Step 4: Tack Strip & Staple Removal
Tack strips, staples, and adhesive residue are carefully removed to prepare the subfloor for new flooring installation.
