Flooring Demolition Services in Idaho
Urban Edge Construction provides full-service flooring demolition in Idaho. Whether you’re remodeling a home or prepping a commercial space, we remove old flooring cleanly and efficiently. From glued-down vinyl to heavy tile, our team removes all types of materials so your next step—installation—goes smoothly.
We clear the way so you’re not stuck dealing with hidden layers, stubborn adhesives, or uneven subfloors. No shortcuts. Just solid prep work that sets your project up right.
We Remove:
- Hardwood Flooring: Whether nailed, stapled, or glued, hardwood can be tough to take out without damaging the subfloor. We remove it cleanly, piece by piece.
- Laminate Flooring: Either floating or glued, laminate can leave behind underlayment or glue residue. We make sure everything is stripped down to the base.
- Vinyl Flooring: Peel-and-stick or sheet vinyl often hides adhesives that can gum up a new install. We get to the bare surface, so nothing lingers.
- Tile Flooring: Tile removal gets messy fast. We bring the right tools to chip away mortar, thin set, and grout while protecting the surface underneath.
- Carpet Flooring: Old carpet, tack strips, and stubborn staples don’t stand a chance. We clear it all, leaving a blank slate behind.
What You Can Expect
No two floors come up the same way. Layers and conditions can vary, but we adapt.
Our Process:
- Site Protection: We seal off the area as needed to minimize dust and mess.
- Controlled Removal: We work methodically to prevent damage to walls, baseboards, and subfloors.
- Subfloor Assessment: After the demo, we will inspect the base surface for cracks, rot, or uneven spots so you’re not surprised later.
- Clean Haul-Away: Everything we rip up—we take with us. You won’t be left with a pile of debris to figure out.
Whether you’re getting rid of outdated tile or removing soaked carpet after a leak, we make sure you’re ready for the next step—installation.
Why Proper Flooring Demo Matters
You might be tempted to take a crowbar to it yourself. But poor demo work causes issues down the line—uneven floors, weak spots, loose edges. Starting clean means ending strong.
Consider this:
- Sticky Residue = Weak Bond: If glue or mortar isn’t properly removed, new floors won’t stick right or sit flat.
- Unlevel Subfloors = Wasted Time: It’s faster and cheaper to level it now than to fix it after installing new material.
- Leftover Nails/Strips = Safety Risk: Missed staples or tacks can poke through damaged tools—or feet.
