Elite Floor Removal. Tactical Precision. No Compromise.
Carpet Removal · Jacksonville & Northeast Florida
Advanced Flooring Removal (AFR) handles carpet removal in Jacksonville homes and businesses. Residential carpet and tack strips come out free when AFR installs your new floor, or for up to $2.00 per square foot for removal only. Glue-down carpet in homes and businesses is quoted per job, with the adhesive scrape included. Haul-away is always included, and the floor is left clean and ready for your installer.
Why Homeowners Choose AFR
When AFR installs your new floor, taking out and hauling away your old residential carpet, pad and tack strips costs nothing extra.
Carpet, pad, tack strips and staples all come up, and every scrap leaves your property with us.
Glue-down carpet gets a second ride-on pass with sharp blades, so the adhesive comes off the slab too.
What We Handle
AFR removes residential and commercial carpet, from stretched-in bedroom carpet to glue-down office carpet and carpet tiles, and leaves a bare, clean subfloor ready for your next floor.
The most common carpet in homes. We cut it into rolls, pull the pad and staples, and remove the tack strips around every wall.
Common in offices and commercial spaces. A National ride-on machine lifts the carpet, a second pass scrapes the adhesive, and we grind what remains.
Modular carpet tiles are lifted and their adhesive scraped, so the slab is ready for new flooring.

The Difference
Standard Practice
What most competitors offer
This is what most competitors offer when they claim to be “clean.” They utilize machinery attachments but lack the comprehensive site protection protocols required for a truly safe environment.
Typical Protocol
AFR Standard
Dust Containment — Every Project
The ultimate protection for occupied homes and commercial spaces. We combine ride-on technology with pressurized containment zones and industrial air scrubbing — sealing the work zone from the rest of your property.

Our Pricing Approach
Square footage tells us how much floor there is, not how long it takes to remove it. A 1,000 sq ft empty warehouse and a 1,000 sq ft occupied medical office are two very different jobs. Published prices are typical ranges; your written quote is based on your site. Per-square-foot pricing is available for ongoing clients with repeat work.
In an empty space we run ride-on scrapers and large machines at full speed. Occupied homes and offices need containment zones, HEPA air scrubbers, protected walk paths and smaller equipment that fits around furniture and people. That adds 30% to 50% more labor time.
With a dumpster on site, debris goes straight out and the crew stays focused on tear-out. If we haul it away, loading, drive time and landfill wait can add a half day to a full day per load.
Elevators, stairs, tight doorways and long hallways decide whether we bring in large machines or move material out by hand. Our equipment runs on standard outlets, so no special power setup is needed.

Yes, for residential carpet. When AFR installs your new floor, removing and hauling away your old carpet, pad and tack strips is included at no extra cost. Glue-down carpet is not part of the free removal and is quoted per job. See our flooring installation packages.
Yes. AFR pulls glue-down carpet with a National ride-on machine, then makes a second ride-on pass with sharp blades to scrape the adhesive off the slab and grinds any spots that remain. We are also hired to remove adhesive that other contractors left behind.
Yes. The pad, staples and the tack strips around every wall come up with the carpet, and the floor is cleaned so your installer starts on a bare subfloor.
Pulling carpet releases the dirt and allergens trapped in the pad (the EPA lists dust and allergens among common indoor air pollutants), and scraping glue-down adhesive adds more. AFR works dust-contained on every job, with HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers, capturing up to 89% of the dust created. See our dust containment protocol.
Yes. AFR removes glue-down carpet and carpet tiles from offices, gyms and other commercial spaces across Northeast Florida. Open, empty spaces go fastest. Learn more about commercial flooring removal.
