Tack-Down vs. Glue-Down Carpet Removal

Tack-Down Carpet (Most Homes)

Tack-down carpet is secured around the edges with tack strips, with padding underneath. Removal involves ripping up the carpet, pulling the padding, and removing tack strips + staples.

Glue-Down Carpet (Commercial)

Glue-down carpet is adhered to the subfloor (often concrete). Removal can take more labor because it may require controlled tearing and scraping. Tell us if it's broadloom or tiles.

Important: Carpet removal is a tear-out service, not a subfloor repair or leveling service. We leave the area cleared so your flooring installer can take the next step.

Our Carpet Removal Process (Simple & Fast)

1

Request Estimate

Tell us your town/ZIP, number of rooms, approximate square footage, carpet type (tack-down or glue-down), and whether furniture needs to be moved. Photos help speed up quoting.

2

Crew Arrives & Confirms Scope

A crew chief walks the space with you, confirms what gets removed, and gives you a clear price based on square footage, carpet type, and labor involved.

3

Tear-Out & Removal

We rip up the carpet, pull the padding, remove tack strips and staples, and bundle everything for hauling.

4

Haul-Away & Disposal

All carpet debris is loaded into our trucks and taken for proper disposal. Recyclable materials are sorted when possible.

5

Subfloor Ready

We leave the subfloor swept and cleared so your flooring installer, cleaner, or stager can take the next step.

Speed tip: Clear small items from the room before we arrive. Label anything that should NOT be removed. Everything else is fair game for tear-out unless you tell us otherwise.

Carpet Removal Pricing in New Jersey

Our carpet removal pricing in New Jersey is based mainly on the square footage being removed, the carpet installation type (tack-down vs. glue-down), and the labor involved. Pricing includes tear-out, padding removal, staple and tack strip extraction, loading, hauling, and disposal.

Because JunkDoctors uses large 25 cubic yard trucks, many carpet removal jobs can be completed more efficiently and in fewer trips. At the start of the service, a crew chief will walk the space with you, confirm what should be removed, and explain the price before work begins.

In some cases, pricing may be higher for glue-down carpet, stairs, furnished rooms requiring furniture moving, difficult access, or large square footage that requires additional labor and time.

Square Footage

Number of rooms, hallways, and stairs determines overall scope.

Carpet Type

Tack-down vs. glue-down affects labor time and crew needs.

Stairs & Access

Stairways, tight halls, elevators, and long carries.

Furniture

Furnished rooms require furniture moving before tear-out.
