Elite Floor Removal - Tactical Precision.
No Compromise
Your Jacksonville flooring removal company — flooring removal is our core discipline, not a side service.
At our core, we believe that what lies underneath matters most. Just as a quality floor requires proper preparation, a quality business requires a reputation built on integrity.
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock." — Matthew 7:24
We don't just remove flooring — we prepare your home for its next chapter with the care and steadiness of a wise builder.
As a Jacksonville flooring removal company, our owner built this business on a simple principle: flooring removal and installation should always be done with skill, respect for the home, and a commitment to lasting results.
With over 20 years in the flooring industry — spanning installation, crew training, and demolition — founder David Milea saw too many demo crews cutting corners, damaging baseboards, and leaving subfloors unfit for installation. He set out to do things differently from day one.
Our Gold Standard →
David worked with WF&M and one of the region's most reputable flooring stores, accumulating over 1,000 home flooring installations as installer, then off-floor installation manager. He trained and guided crews, refined demolition methods, and invested in proper equipment — building the expertise that would later define AFR.
With a strong foundation in both installation and removal, AFR took shape in 2017. By 2018, David officially branded the company as Advanced Flooring Removal — returning to the field himself, operating machinery, training crews, and building a reputation on high standards and professionalism.
AFR suffered a major setback when all equipment was stolen, including the essential ride-on scraper. Instead of closing, the team pulled together with support from community contacts and loyal clients. Midway through the year, the ride-on was recovered and AFR began rebuilding.
David learned to repair and maintain equipment in-house, purchased a new work van, and reinvested in specialty tools. AFR continued serving homeowners throughout the hardship, emerging stronger and more resilient.
After years of refining crews, AFR built a balanced structure: demo operations led by David, installation operations led by Cassio. Together they offered complete removal and installation packages — highlighting AFR's full flooring expertise.
CA stepped into leading both demo and installation teams, while AFR continued delivering top-quality results for clients across Jacksonville and Northeast Florida.
Following back surgery, David shifted focus to website development, customer education, and database organization — launching a new blog platform and expanding the AFR resource hub. CA leads field operations, ensuring the same high standard on every project while David focuses on empowering clients with knowledge.

Schedule Consultation →Advanced Flooring Removal wasn't founded just to do heavy lifting — it was built to bring real precision to demolition. While many removal companies rely on brute force and leave a mess behind, we set out to do things differently from the start.
That approach is backed by over 20 years of hands-on flooring experience and working relationships with Jacksonville's flooring showrooms. We understand exactly how a subfloor needs to be prepped, because we've spent years on the installation side too.
"We work well in tight timelines and complex projects. Your time matters, so we plan every job to run on schedule and deliver exactly what we promised."
We provide a properly ground, dust-contained concrete slab so your installation crews can start their work without losing days to demolition.
Installing your own floor? The #1 reason DIY projects fail is improper removal and slab prep. We handle the demanding, hazardous extraction so you can focus on the finish.
We know a displaced home is stressful. We stick to the timelines we give you, restoring your home faster than manual demo crews typically can.
