What Does a Floor Removal Company Do? Our Full Range of Services
Changing your flooring used to be a hard and even dangerous job. Old tile and thinset can release fine dust that lingers in the air for days. That dust can cause silicosis, a lung disease, if breathed in over time. It can also damage computers, phones, and office equipment. Those risks are why floor removal is its own trade, not a side task for a general contractor.
A floor removal company handles one job: taking out the old floor safely, so your new one goes down on a clean, ready surface. We do not sell flooring or install it. That focus means our crews have seen almost every subfloor problem Alberta homes and businesses can have, and they know how to solve it fast.
Dustless Tile Removal
Ceramic and porcelain tile, plus the thinset underneath, removed with minimal dust.
Hardwood Floor Removal
Nailed, glued, or engineered hardwood, removed without tearing up your subfloor.
Carpet Removal
Carpet, pad, and tack strips, bagged and hauled away.
Linoleum and K3 Subfloor Removal
K3 subfloor is a hard, brittle underlayment common in older Calgary and Edmonton homes.
VCT Tile and Adhesive Removal
Vinyl composition tile and old mastic adhesive, removed for offices, schools, and retail spaces.
Concrete Grinding and Shotblasting
Surface prep, old coating removal, and floor leveling on concrete.

Every removal job is different. The cost depends on the size of the job, the type of material being removed, and the adhesives used underneath it. A small linoleum job and a large commercial tile job with heavy-set thinset are not the same project, so we do not publish flat rates that could not apply to your specific floor.
What we do instead is simple: we look at the job, tell you exactly what is involved, and give you a straight answer before we start. No surprise charges after the crew arrives.

Can I Remove Flooring Myself?
For simple jobs, yes. Loose carpet or a floating floor can often come up with hand tools and a free Saturday. Glued-down tile, hardwood, and anything with heavy adhesive are a different story. Getting those up without the right equipment usually means a damaged subfloor, a room full of dust, or both. That is the point where most homeowners call a specialist instead of finishing the job themselves.
Is Floor Removal Dusty or Dangerous? What Health Authorities Say
Old tile, thinset, and some flooring adhesives contain crystalline silica. When these materials are cut, ground, or pried up with standard tools, they release fine dust into the air. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies crystalline silica as a Group 1 carcinogen, the same category used for substances with confirmed cancer risk in humans. The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) states that breathing this dust over time can cause lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), kidney disease, and silicosis, a lung disease with no cure.
This is why dustless removal exists. Rather than letting dust spread through the air, dust-controlled equipment captures it at the point of removal, so your home or business stays livable during the job. This matters most in occupied spaces, homes with kids or allergy sufferers, offices that cannot shut down, and buildings where fine dust can damage sensitive electronics like phones, computers, and telecommunications equipment.
Best Practices for Asbestos Floor Removal in Canada
Flooring and adhesive installed before the early 1990s can contain asbestos, especially older vinyl tile and the black cutback adhesive sometimes found underneath it. Asbestos fibers are dangerous when disturbed and inhaled. If your home or building was built before 1990 and you are planning a renovation, it is worth having the flooring tested before removal begins. A qualified removal crew will know what to look for and how to proceed safely if asbestos is suspected.
