Flooring Removal in Vancouver — Tile, Hardwood & Vinyl Stripped Clean
Tile removal, hardwood floor strip-out, carpet pull, vinyl and linoleum removal, thin-set grinding, and subfloor demolition for contractors and homeowners across Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland.
Every Type of Flooring — Stripped & Hauled Away
From ceramic tile to hardwood to carpet, we strip it clean and leave a surface ready for your new flooring installer.
Ceramic & Porcelain Tile
Floor tile chipped up, thin-set ground off the subfloor, and all debris hauled. We handle tile on plywood, tile on concrete, and tile on cement board.
Hardwood & Laminate
Nailed, glued, and floating hardwood and laminate flooring stripped and removed. Adhesive residue scraped clean for a smooth subfloor surface.
Carpet, Vinyl & Linoleum
Carpet and underpad pulled and rolled, vinyl and linoleum peeled, and adhesive scraped or ground to leave a clean subfloor ready for new flooring.
Subfloor & Underlayment
Plywood subfloor, OSB, and underlayment removed when needed. We cut and pull subfloor sections down to the joists for full replacement projects.
Clean Subfloor, No Mess, Same-Day Haul
Bad flooring removal leaves your installer with a rough, uneven surface that adds cost and delay to the project. We strip flooring cleanly, grind thin-set and adhesive, and leave a subfloor your tiler, hardwood installer, or vinyl layer can work on immediately.
Whether it is one room or an entire home, we bring the crew, the tools, and our own bins — one invoice, no surprises.

Every Kind of Flooring Removal in Vancouver
Tile Floor Removal
Ceramic, porcelain, marble, and slate tile chipped up and thin-set ground off the subfloor. The most common flooring removal request in Vancouver kitchen and bathroom renovations.
Hardwood Floor Removal
Nailed, glued, and floating hardwood stripped and removed. We handle engineered hardwood, solid hardwood, and parquet — scraping adhesive and pulling nails for a clean subfloor.
Carpet & Vinyl Removal
Carpet and underpad pulled, tack strips removed, staples extracted. Vinyl and linoleum peeled and adhesive scraped or ground. Fast and efficient for whole-home flooring replacements.
Subfloor Removal
When the subfloor itself needs to go — water-damaged plywood, rotten OSB, or multiple layers of old flooring — we cut and remove subfloor sections down to the joists.
How Much Does Flooring Removal Cost in Vancouver?
Flooring removal in Vancouver typically costs $2 to $6 per square foot, depending on material type and condition. A standard 500 sq ft floor removal runs $1,000 to $3,000 all-in — labour, thin-set grinding, bins, hauling, and broom-clean handoff.
Carpet and vinyl are on the lower end; tile on concrete is on the higher end. Subfloor removal adds to the cost. Request a free quote for your specific scope.
