Full-Service Carpet Removal & Hauling in Sacramento
Removing carpet involves a lot more than simply pulling it off the floor. There’s padding underneath, staples buried in plywood, sharp tack strips around the room, and a heavy pile of debris to haul away when everything is finished. We handle the complete removal process.
Our carpet removal services include:
Old carpet tear-out: We cut and pull up wall-to-wall carpeting from bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, and other areas.
Carpet padding removal: We remove the padding beneath the carpet, including attached or stapled padding.
Tack strip removal: We carefully pry up the wooden strips secured around the perimeter of the room.
Staple and fastener removal: We pull accessible staples and fasteners left behind from the old padding and carpet installation.
Stair and closet carpet removal: We handle carpeted staircases, landings, closets, and other challenging areas when included in your estimate.
Furniture moving: We can move larger furniture around as needed to access the carpet.
Baseboard removal: If your renovation requires the baseboards to come out, we can handle that as well.
Loading, hauling, and disposal: We load the removed materials directly into our truck and haul them away.
Basic cleanup: We sweep up loose debris and leave the exposed flooring accessible for the next stage of your project.

Carpet Removal for Homes, Rentals & Commercial Properties
Not every carpet removal project happens during a major home renovation. We help Sacramento property owners with several types of removal projects.
Residential Carpet Removal
Whether you’re replacing carpet in one bedroom or updating the flooring throughout your house, we can remove the old materials before the next phase of work begins.
Rental Property Carpet Removal
Old carpet can take a beating between tenants. We work with landlords and property managers who need carpeting removed during a rental turnover, renovation, or property cleanout.
Apartment & Condo Carpet Removal
Upper-floor apartments, narrow hallways, stairs, and elevators can make carpet removal more challenging. Let us know about building access, parking restrictions, and other requirements when scheduling.
Commercial Carpet Removal
We also take on carpet removal projects for offices and other commercial spaces. The size of the area, installation method, and disposal needs are considered when preparing your estimate.
If your property also needs furniture, trash, or other unwanted items removed, ask about combining the work with our Sacramento property cleanout services.
When Is It Time to Remove Your Old Carpet?
Sometimes it’s obvious that carpeting needs to be replaced. Other times, it’s the smell, stains, or condition underneath that makes removal the better option.
Common reasons Sacramento homeowners contact us include:
Worn or matted carpet: Heavy foot traffic leaves flattened areas and visible wear that cleaning won’t reverse.
Persistent pet odors and stains: Spills and accidents can soak into the carpet padding and remain even after surface cleaning.
Water damage: Leaks, plumbing problems, and flooding can leave carpet and padding saturated.
Home renovations: Removing old carpet is a common first step before installing hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, tile, or other flooring.
Rental turnovers: Landlords may need to remove heavily worn or damaged carpet before the next tenant moves in.
Loose or damaged carpet: Torn sections, frayed edges, and worn seams can make replacement more practical than repair.

Our Carpet Removal Process: From Start to Finish
We keep the process straightforward so you know what to expect before we arrive.
- 1. Request Your Free Estimate
Reach out and we’ll arrange an estimate and discuss scheduling around your flooring project.
- 2. Prepare the Rooms
Before we arrive, remove small personal belongings, electronics, and breakable items. If you need us to move larger furniture, we can help.
- 3. We Remove the Carpet, Padding, Tack Strips, and Staples
Once we get the carpet out, we remove the padding, pull accessible staples from the subfloor, and pry up all the tack strips.
- 4. Clean Up & Haul
We sweep up loose debris and haul away the old flooring materials.
What Will Your Floor Look Like After Carpet Removal?
Once the carpet, padding, and tack strips are removed, the underlying subfloor becomes visible. In many Sacramento-area homes, this means exposed plywood or concrete. Some older homes may also have hardwood flooring hidden beneath the carpet. Our goal is to leave the agreed work area free of the removed carpeting and associated debris, with a basic sweep of loose materials.
After the carpet comes up, you may discover:
- Old adhesive residue
- Uneven or damaged plywood
- Cracks or irregularities in concrete
- Stains or moisture damage
- Areas requiring leveling or repairs before installing new flooring
These conditions may require additional work by your flooring contractor or another qualified professional.
What Happens to Your Old Carpet After Removal?
One of the biggest inconveniences of DIY carpet removal is figuring out what to do with the material afterward. Old carpet and padding are bulky, often dirty, and can take up a surprising amount of space. Tack strips also contain exposed nails that make handling and disposal more difficult. At Simp’s Junk Removal, hauling away the removed materials is part of our full-service approach. We look for appropriate recycling options when facilities accept the material and recycling is practical. Carpet that isn’t suitable for recycling is taken to an appropriate disposal facility.

How Much Does Carpet Removal Cost in Sacramento?
The cost of carpet removal in Sacramento depends on more than just the square footage. Every property is different, and the amount of labor involved can vary considerably. For example, removing carpet from an empty bedroom with an accessible plywood subfloor is generally much easier than tearing out carpet from a furnished two-story home with closets, hallways, and a staircase.
Several factors affect your carpet removal estimate:
- Square footage: Larger areas generally require more removal labor and disposal space.
- Stairs and landings: Carpet installed on stairs often requires extra time because of the staples, tight corners, and detailed removal work.
- Furniture: Moving beds, dressers, couches, and other large furniture adds labor.
- Subfloor type: Carpet padding stapled to plywood is removed differently from padding glued to concrete.
- Tack strips and staples: The number and condition of the fasteners affect how much preparation is needed.
- Accessibility: Upper floors, elevators, long carrying distances, and limited truck parking can increase the time required.
- Additional work: Baseboard removal, stubborn adhesive, and other special requests may affect the final price.
