When it's time to remove old, worn carpeting from your Orlando property, trust Haulin Junkies for professional carpet removal services. Our experienced team handles everything from pulling up carpet and padding to removing tack strips and disposing of materials responsibly. Whether you're renovating your home, preparing a rental property, or dealing with damaged flooring, our comprehensive carpet removal service makes the process hassle-free.
Carpet removal is more labor-intensive than many homeowners realize. Beyond simply pulling up the carpet, our service includes removing carpet padding, extracting stubborn tack strips that can be dangerous if left behind, and properly disposing of materials that can be bulky and difficult to transport. Professional removal also prevents damage to your subfloor and ensures any staples or nails are completely removed, leaving you with a clean surface ready for your next flooring project.
Haulin Junkies follows a systematic approach to carpet removal. We begin by moving any furniture or obstacles in the work area. Next, we carefully cut and roll the carpet into manageable sections, remove all padding and adhesives, extract tack strips and transition pieces, collect all staples and nails from the subfloor, sweep and clean the area thoroughly, and finally, load all materials for responsible disposal or recycling when possible.
Our Orlando team removes all types of carpeting including residential wall-to-wall carpet, commercial-grade carpeting, carpet tiles and squares, indoor-outdoor carpet, and area rugs of any size. Whether it's a single room or an entire building, we have the equipment and experience to handle projects of any scale efficiently.
Choosing professional carpet removal saves you time, physical strain, and the hassle of disposal. Our team brings proper tools including carpet knives, pry bars, and heavy-duty work gloves. We handle the heavy lifting and careful extraction of tack strips that can injure inexperienced DIYers. Plus, we dispose of your old carpeting properly, ensuring it doesn't end up illegally dumped or taking up valuable space in your vehicle.
We serve residential homeowners upgrading their flooring, landlords preparing rental properties between tenants, commercial property managers renovating office spaces, retail stores updating their appearance, and contractors needing reliable demo partners. Each property type has unique needs, and our flexible service adapts to your specific requirements and timeline.
When you need carpet removed quickly, Haulin Junkies offers same-day and next-day service throughout the Orlando area. Whether you discovered water damage, have a renovation deadline, or simply want the job done promptly, our responsive team works around your schedule. We understand that old carpeting can be unsightly and potentially unhealthy, so we prioritize timely service.
To ensure smooth carpet removal, we recommend removing all furniture from the carpeted area if possible, clearing closets and floor space, removing any fragile items from the room, and notifying us of any special circumstances like pet stains, water damage, or adhesive-backed carpet. Our team will handle the rest, providing protective coverings for doorways and hallways to keep dust contained.
Haulin Junkies is committed to environmentally responsible disposal. When possible, we recycle carpet materials. Carpet can be recycled into products like carpet padding, roofing materials, and railroad ties. Materials that cannot be recycled are disposed of at licensed facilities. We never illegally dump or leave carpet debris behind - your satisfaction and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
Our carpet removal pricing is straightforward and based on factors including the square footage of carpet, number of rooms, type of carpeting and padding, accessibility and floor level, and whether furniture moving is needed. We provide free, no-obligation estimates either over the phone or with an on-site visit. Most estimates can be given quickly based on your room dimensions and carpet type.
Beyond carpet removal, Haulin Junkies offers complementary services including furniture removal and disposal, subfloor cleaning and preparation, baseboard and trim removal, drywall and demolition cleanup, and general junk hauling for renovation debris. Bundling services often results in cost savings and streamlines your renovation or cleanout project.

Old carpeting can harbor allergens, dust mites, mold spores, and bacteria that impact indoor air quality. Removing worn carpet is often a health-conscious choice, especially for families with allergies, asthma, or small children. Fresh, clean floors contribute to a healthier living environment. If your carpet has water damage or visible mold, prompt removal is essential to prevent further contamination.
Haulin Junkies understands that commercial properties have unique needs. We work during off-hours to minimize disruption to your business, complete projects efficiently to meet tight deadlines, coordinate with property managers and contractors, provide documentation for property records, and handle large-scale removals across multiple rooms or floors. Our commercial clients appreciate our professionalism and ability to work within their operational constraints.

Understanding the carpet removal process helps you prepare for the service and know what to expect. At Haulin Junkies, we follow a proven procedure that ensures efficient removal while protecting your property.
Your carpet removal project begins with a consultation. We'll discuss your timeline, the type and amount of carpet to be removed, any special circumstances like water damage or heavy furniture, and whether you need additional services like subfloor prep. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees - you'll know exactly what the service costs before we begin work.
Before our team arrives, we recommend removing all furniture from carpeted areas if possible. This allows faster, more thorough carpet removal. If you need help moving heavy items, let us know during scheduling - furniture moving can be included in your service. Also remove any wall hangings, clear closet floors, and secure pets in another area of your home.
Our trained technicians arrive on time with proper equipment. We start by cutting the carpet into manageable sections. This makes rolling and removal easier. Next, we carefully pull up the carpet from tack strips along walls. The padding underneath is then removed. Both materials are rolled and prepared for disposal. We then extract all tack strips using pry bars, being careful not to damage baseboards or walls.
One of the most important - and often overlooked - parts of carpet removal is completely removing tack strips and all staples or nails. Tack strips are sharp wood strips with angled nails that can cause serious injury if left behind. We use specialized tools to extract every strip. We then carefully inspect the subfloor, removing any remaining staples, nails, or adhesive residue. This leaves you with a clean, safe surface.
After all carpet materials are removed, we thoroughly sweep and vacuum the area to remove dust, debris, and small particles. We inspect the subfloor for any remaining fasteners or damage. If you're preparing for new flooring installation, we can identify any subfloor repairs that might be needed (though actual repairs are separate from our removal service and would be handled by a flooring contractor).
All removed carpet materials are loaded onto our trucks for proper disposal. We transport materials to appropriate facilities, recycling when possible. Carpet recycling has grown significantly in recent years, with materials being repurposed into new products. We stay current with local recycling options to minimize landfill waste whenever feasible.
Most residential carpet removal jobs are completed in a few hours, depending on the square footage and number of rooms. A typical 12x15 room takes 1-2 hours. Larger homes or commercial spaces require more time. We provide estimated completion times during your initial consultation and work efficiently to meet your schedule.
After carpet removal, your subfloor will be exposed. If you're not installing new flooring immediately, we recommend protecting the subfloor from moisture and damage. For wood subfloors, avoid water exposure. For concrete, normal care applies. If you discover any subfloor damage during removal, address it before installing new flooring to ensure a quality result.
If you're having new flooring installed, coordinate timing with your flooring contractor. Most prefer a clean, empty subfloor. Let them know about any subfloor irregularities we discover during carpet removal. Professional installers may need to level or repair the subfloor before laying new materials. Our team can communicate directly with your contractor if helpful.
Some carpet removal projects involve unique challenges. Water-damaged carpet may have mold and requires careful handling. Carpet glued directly to concrete needs different removal techniques. Very old carpet might be brittle and more difficult to roll. Commercial-grade carpet is often heavier than residential. We've handled these situations many times and adapt our approach accordingly.
Carpet removal involves sharp objects, heavy lifting, and potentially harmful dust or mold. Our team uses proper personal protective equipment including heavy gloves, dust masks, and safety glasses. We contain dust by sealing doorways when needed. We handle sharp tack strips safely to prevent injury. These safety protocols protect both our workers and your family.
Want to reduce your carpet removal cost? Here are some tips: Remove all furniture yourself before our arrival if possible. Bundle services - having multiple rooms done at once is more economical than separate trips. Schedule during our slower periods if your timeline is flexible. Consider leaving baseboards in place if they're being replaced anyway. Ask about any current promotions or discounts.
When choosing a carpet removal service, ask: Are you licensed and insured? Do you provide free estimates? How do you price your services? What's included in the removal service? How do you handle disposal? Can you work around my schedule? Do you offer same-day or emergency service? What payment methods do you accept? At Haulin Junkies, we're happy to answer any questions you have.
Be cautious of services that won't provide written estimates, demand large deposits before work begins, lack insurance or proper credentials, don't explain their disposal methods, or have no online presence or reviews. Legitimate professional services like Haulin Junkies operate transparently with clear pricing and verifiable credentials.
Ready to remove your old carpet? Call Haulin Junkies at +1 407.815.4926 for a free estimate and to schedule service. We're available for same-day and next-day appointments throughout the Orlando area. Let us handle the heavy lifting and tedious work while you focus on your next flooring project.
Carpet removal costs typically range from $1-$2 per square foot, depending on factors like room size, carpet type, and whether furniture needs moving. We provide free estimates over the phone or in person so you know exactly what to expect before we begin work.
If possible, removing furniture makes the job faster and less expensive. However, if you can't move heavy items, we can include furniture moving in your service. Just let us know during scheduling so we can account for the additional time.
A typical residential room takes 1-2 hours for complete carpet and padding removal. Larger homes or commercial spaces take proportionally longer. We provide time estimates during your initial consultation based on your specific project.
Yes! Complete carpet removal includes the carpet itself, all padding underneath, tack strips along walls, staples and nails, and thorough cleanup of the subfloor. We don't consider the job done until your subfloor is clean and ready for the next step.
Absolutely. Carpet glued directly to concrete or wood requires different techniques than standard installation, but we have the experience and tools to handle it. This type of removal typically takes longer and may involve additional costs, which we'll explain in your estimate.
We transport all carpet materials to appropriate disposal facilities. Whenever possible, we recycle carpet materials. Materials that can't be recycled are disposed of responsibly at licensed facilities. We never illegally dump or leave materials behind.
Yes, we offer same-day and next-day service throughout Orlando when our schedule allows. If you have an urgent need - perhaps due to water damage or a tight renovation deadline - contact us as early in the day as possible and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Yes, we remove carpet from stairs, though it's more labor-intensive than flat surfaces due to the angles and individual steps involved. Stair carpet removal is priced accordingly and included in your estimate.
Carpet removal is a specialized service that goes beyond general junk hauling. It requires specific skills and tools to remove the carpet, padding, tack strips, and fasteners properly. However, we're happy to combine carpet removal with other junk removal services if you're doing a full cleanout or renovation.
In most cases, baseboards can stay in place during carpet removal. Our team is experienced at extracting tack strips and removing carpet edges without damaging baseboards. However, if your baseboards are being replaced anyway, removing them first can make the job slightly easier.
If we discover mold during removal, we'll alert you immediately. While we can remove moldy carpet safely using proper precautions, addressing the underlying moisture problem and cleaning/treating the subfloor typically requires a mold remediation specialist. We can refer you to qualified professionals.
Yes, we handle carpet removal on any floor level. Access and transportation of materials from upper floors may affect pricing slightly, but we've worked in apartments, condos, and multi-story buildings many times and have the process down to a science.
As long as we have access to the carpeted areas, you don't need to be present during removal. Many clients prefer to be there for the initial consultation and estimate, then leave us a key or code for the actual service day. We'll secure your property when we leave.
We leave your subfloor clean and free of carpet debris, fasteners, and tack strips. However, we can't guarantee the subfloor's condition underneath - that depends on its age and how the carpet was installed. If we discover damage or issues during removal, we'll point them out so you can address them before installing new flooring.
Yes, we remove all types of carpet including carpet tiles and squares, which are common in commercial settings. These are often easier to remove than traditional carpet but still require proper handling of adhesives and fasteners.
Our primary service is carpet removal, not subfloor repair. If we discover subfloor damage during removal, we'll document it and recommend you contact a flooring contractor or handyman for repairs. Subfloor repair should be completed before installing new flooring.
Yes, we have a minimum service charge that covers our travel time and basic operating costs. The exact amount varies by location within our service area. We'll explain our pricing structure during your free consultation.
We offer flexible scheduling including same-day and next-day service when available. For non-urgent projects, scheduling a few days to a week ahead ensures your preferred date and time. During busy seasons, earlier scheduling is recommended.
We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards for your convenience. Payment is typically collected after the job is completed to your satisfaction. We can also provide receipts and invoices for your records.
Yes, Haulin Junkies is fully licensed and insured. We carry general liability insurance to protect your property and workers' compensation insurance to protect our team. We're happy to provide proof of insurance upon request.
We understand that everyone's schedule is different. We offer flexible appointment times including early morning, evening, and weekend service. When you call to book, let us know your preferred time and we'll do our best to accommodate your schedule.
We remove as much adhesive residue as possible during the standard removal process. However, complete adhesive removal from concrete sometimes requires specialized grinding equipment and is typically handled by flooring contractors as part of subfloor preparation for new materials. We'll leave your subfloor in the best condition possible given the standard carpet removal scope.
Yes! Complete cleanup is included in our service. We sweep, vacuum, and remove all carpet debris from your property. We also protect your other floors and doorways during the removal process to minimize dust and dirt in other areas of your home.
Yes, we remove indoor-outdoor carpet from patios, decks, porches, and other exterior areas. These installations often involve different adhesives than interior carpet, but we have experience with both. Let us know about exterior carpet during scheduling so we bring appropriate tools.
