Carpet removal Services in Memphis, Tennessee

Carpet removal is a critical first step before new flooring installation, and EvoNorth Junk Removal has removed carpet from hundreds of Memphis-area homes in neighborhoods from Downtown Memphis to Midtown, Whitehaven, and East Memphis. Whether you have stained Berber carpet, worn-out saxony pile, or commercial-grade looped carpet, our trained crew extracts the entire carpet system including adhesive backing and padding. We use proper equipment to cut, roll, and haul away all materials within 24-48 hours of your appointment.

Our carpet removal process begins with a walkthrough assessment to measure square footage and identify any hazards like asbestos-backed carpet common in pre-1980s Memphis homes. We protect your walls, doorways, and adjacent flooring with drop cloths and cardboard, then use industrial carpet extractors to pull up the carpet in manageable sections. We haul away all waste to proper disposal facilities, sweep and vacuum the subfloor completely, and leave your space clean and ready for your contractor's next steps. Most residential jobs in Memphis neighborhoods complete in 1-2 business days.

Carpet removal FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does carpet removal cost in Memphis?

Most residential carpet removal costs $1.50-$2.50 per square foot depending on carpet type, padding condition, and adhesive difficulty. A typical 2,000 sq ft Memphis home averages $3,000-$5,000. Call (901) 530-9375 for exact pricing based on your home's specifics.

How long does carpet removal take?

Most residential projects complete in 1-3 days. Smaller homes in Collierville or Germantown may finish in 1 day (4-8 hours), while larger 4,000+ sq ft properties in East Memphis may require 2-3 days. We provide exact timeline during your free assessment.

What happens to the carpet after removal?

All carpet, padding, and adhesive waste is transported to licensed Memphis-area waste facilities complying with Shelby County disposal regulations. We do not dispose of materials in landfills improperly or violate environmental standards.

Will the subfloor be clean after removal?

Yes. We sweep and vacuum thoroughly, removing all fibers, dust, and debris. If you have glue-down carpet with adhesive residue, we can address minor buildup. Stubborn adhesive typically requires specialized chemical removal by your flooring contractor.

What is your warranty on carpet removal?

We guarantee all carpet, padding, and visible debris removed in one visit with a clean subfloor ready for your contractor. If any carpet pieces remain, we return at no charge within 7 days of original removal date.

Do I need a permit for carpet removal in Memphis?

Residential carpet removal does not require a permit in Shelby County. Commercial removals or large-scale demolition may require permits depending on project scope. We handle all permit coordination for commercial jobs.
