If you’re a flooring installer, we work as your removal sub-trade. Every hour spent tearing out old flooring is an hour not spent installing, and installing is where you make money. We handle the removal so your crew shows up to a clean, ready substrate and gets straight to work.
Enviro Surface Removers doesn’t sell flooring, and we don’t install it — full stop. That’s not a courtesy, it’s the whole basis for working together. There’s no version of this relationship where we’re angling for your install job. We take the old material out, prep the substrate, and step aside.
Our scope covers interior, non-load-bearing removal:
A substrate that isn’t properly flat or clean isn’t just an inconvenience for you — it’s a callback risk with your name on it. That’s the standard we work to.
See Carpet Removal, Hardwood Floor Removal, Dustless Tile Removal & Thinset, Linoleum & K3 Subfloor Removal, VCT Tile & Adhesive Removal, and Concrete Grinding & Shotblasting for the full detail on each material.
Removal that stops at “the old floor is gone” isn’t removal that protects your install. Leftover thinset residue left behind after tile removal creates the same bond-failure and flatness problems whether a homeowner did it or a rushed sub did — see Leftover Thinset Residue for what that actually does to a new floor. And a substrate that isn’t within tolerance causes the same telegraphing and cracking issues covered on Uneven Floor Repair. We grind to a flat, clean finish specifically so neither of those becomes your problem on install day.
We carry full WCB coverage and hold COR Certification — the same workplace safety standard used by hospitals and airports. Our crews are also certified for asbestos testing and abatement. Installing new flooring over undisclosed asbestos-containing material, or over a substrate that wasn’t properly prepped, is a liability and warranty problem that lands on your name, not just the removal crew’s. We handle testing through full abatement in-house so that risk never reaches your install.
$5 million in liability insurance, full WCB coverage, and COR Certification on every job.
We work around your install schedule, not the other way around. Removal and substrate prep are handled before your crew is due on-site, so your calendar stays billable instead of sitting on a demo day.

I am so grateful I went with Enviro Surface Removers for my renos. Blaire and his team are professional and on time each day and put in long hours to get the job finished. They were very respectful of my home and made sure to protect my wainscoting and my home in general. The team is down to earth and a pleasure to work with. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. I definitely recommend this company.

Highly Recommend Blair and his team. They were on time, professional and clean. Ready for the next phase of performance coating. They stayed within budget, worked through their lunch, even though we put out a charcutier selection (Blair will get the Joke)

Blair and his crew did a fantastic job with the demo of our tile. The job was more complicated than we thought and Blair went above and beyond to ensure it was completed within our tight timeline. His crew was wonderful for agreeing to stay later to finish the job. It looks great and they took special care to cover everything to minimize the dust. These guys are professionals and just so great to deal with. I highly recommend them! Thanks for such an awesome experience!

Blair and his team did a full tile and hardwood removal on our main floor. After hauling out 2 tons of material the sub floor is spotless and ready for install, not a spec of dust on our counters and Windows. Detailed, careful and efficient, i would happily recommend to anyone who needs professional flooring demolition service.

Excellent removed entire floor and got all staples out and cleaned up. Would totally recommend to anyone. Thanks for removing old floor and making sure it was a clean surface. We had water damage under the floor and the old floor was still underneath and had to be ripped up. Also sanded the surface mold. Did an awesome job. The house is from 1970s.

The team at Enviro Surface Removers are fantastic! We brought them in to help us with the demolition of our master bathroom. The team prepped the space and the route out of the house so nothing was damaged, was super efficient with the removal itself, and did a great job with the cleanup. They were kind and respectful of others working in the house, and got their work done with super minimal mess. It was especially helpful that they used a HEPA filter as a part of their equipment, because we have some people in our house who are more sensitive to airborne construction dust, and with their systems, the level of dust in the air and left behind was very very small! We were so pleased with the work of this team that we even brought them back again to remove the tile in our basement laundry, and they once again did a fabulous job. I would 100% recommend Enviro Surface Removers to anyone needing an extra experienced Hans with their renovation!

Can't say enough good things about Enviro Surface Removers. We needed our outdated kitchen demolished and chose Enviro because of their extensive years of experience doing floor removal and demolition. Blair was straightforward with pricing, communicative, friendly, and professional right from the beginning. Him and his team showed up on time, set up accordingly, took their time doing the job, and cleaned up afterwards. The whole experience from calling for a quote to doing the final walk through was a breeze. I'd highly recommend Blair and his team to anyone that wants to hire professionals to get the job done right. We'll for sure be using Enviro Surface Removers again in the future when we're ready to renovate our bathroom. Thank you, Blair + team!!!

Enviro Surface Removers Inc. did an outstanding job at my home removing 600 sq. ft. of double glued-down engineered hardwood. It was a tough and labor-intensive project, but these guys worked tirelessly from start to finish. Their professionalism, hard work, and attention to detail were second to none. They never stopped until the job was done right, and the results exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone needing selective demolition or floor removal services – you won’t be disappointed!
