Carpet Removal and Disposal in Greater Boston & MetroWest Massachusetts
Need your old carpet ripped out and hauled away? We do both — tear-out and disposal in one visit. Many competitors only pick up carpet that's already been pulled. We do the work. Replacing old carpet and want to see what's underneath? We rip it out and haul it away — your new floor installers will thank you.
Tear-Out and Haul-Away
We send a vetted crew to rip up the carpet, pull the tack strips, roll and bag it, and load it in the truck — all in one visit. You don't need to pre-remove anything. We handle the labor from start to finish.
Who Calls Us
Homeowners replacing carpet with hardwood, LVP, or tile. Contractors who need the subfloor cleared before installation. Property managers refreshing a rental unit between tenants. Estate cleanouts where old carpet needs to go. Anyone doing a pre-listing renovation.
What We Remove
- ✓ Wall-to-wall carpet (any room size)
- ✓ Carpet with padding underneath
- ✓ Tack strips (optional — ask during estimate)
- ✓ Stair carpet
- ✓ Area rugs (large / heavy)
- ✓ Commercial carpet tiles
Wall-to-wall carpet in older Newton and Brookline homes often comes with a surprise underneath — original hardwood floors that haven't seen daylight since the 1960s. Our crews pull up the carpet and padding cleanly, remove the tack strips if requested, and leave the subfloor ready for your installer. If you're doing a pre-listing renovation in West Newton or Newton Highlands, getting the carpet out fast is often the difference between a home that shows well and one that doesn't.
How Carpet Removal Works

Get an upfront estimate
Pricing is based on square footage and room count. Stair carpet and tack strip removal factor in if applicable. Your crew confirms the price before the tear-out starts — no add-ons after the job.
We rip it out, roll it up, and haul it away
We pull the carpet, remove the padding, roll and bag everything, and load it in the truck — in one visit. If you asked for tack strip removal, that's done too. Your floor is bare and ready for the installer. Most whole-room jobs take under an hour per room.
How Pricing Works
Carpet removal pricing is based on square footage and room count. A single bedroom is a short job. A full house with carpet on every floor and a staircase takes more crew time. Tack strip removal, if you want it, factors into the quote. Your crew gives you a confirmed price before the tear-out starts — no add-ons after the job is done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you rip out the carpet or do I have to do it first?
We rip it out. You don't have to touch it. We pull up the carpet, remove the padding, and haul everything away in one visit.
Do you remove tack strips?
Tack strip removal can be included — ask during the estimate. Some flooring installers prefer to remove them during installation, so it depends on your situation.
Can you handle carpet on stairs?
Yes. Stair carpet removal is included in the job. It takes more time than floor carpet, which may affect pricing — we'll quote it accurately.
How much does carpet removal cost?
Pricing is based on square footage and room count. Most single-room jobs start around $100–$150. Whole-house carpet removal runs $300–$700+ depending on size. Call for a free estimate.
What if there's hardwood under the carpet — does that change anything?
It changes what you'll see when we're done, but it doesn't change the removal process. We pull up the carpet and padding the same way regardless of what's underneath. If you want the tack strips left for your flooring installer, just let us know.
Can you remove carpet from a rental unit between tenants?
Yes. Property managers call us regularly for between-tenant carpet tearouts before new flooring goes in. We can coordinate with building managers for access if you can't be on-site. Same-day and next-day scheduling available.
