Professional carpet removal for Berkeley homes and businesses
Whether you are replacing worn carpet, dealing with pet damage, or drying out a property after a leak, the old carpet has to leave the building before anything else can happen.
Water-damaged carpet in particular needs to go quickly. Wet padding holds moisture against the subfloor and mould can establish within a couple of days. In Berkeley, brown-shingle and Craftsman homes near campus plus a heavy rental stock, which means constant end-of-lease furniture and mattress turnover every summer — and damp coastal air makes this worse, not better.
We remove carpet from single rooms up to whole houses and commercial floors, roll and bundle it on site so it loads compactly, and route it to Berkeley Transfer Station in Berkeley. Carpet has recovery pathways that ordinary rubbish does not.

Working in Berkeley, CA
Our carpet removal crews know Berkeley well — the streets around the UC Berkeley campus as much as the quieter parts of North Berkeley.
The local housing stock matters for this work: Berkeley is brown-shingle and Craftsman homes near campus plus a heavy rental stock, which means constant end-of-lease furniture and mattress turnover every summer.
Then there is getting a truck to the work: narrow North Berkeley hill streets, steep stair-only entries and student housing with no driveway access make hand-carry the norm rather than the exception.
Our disposal point for Berkeley is Berkeley Transfer Station in Berkeley — a permitted facility, with the paperwork to prove where your material went.
Berkeley has one of the strictest construction and demolition debris diversion ordinances in the state, so renovation loads need to be sorted for recycling rather than landfilled whole.

Berkeley customers on our carpet removal
“Handled my mother's house after she passed. They set aside a box of photos and her papers that we would have lost, and they never once made us feel rushed. That mattered more than the price.”
“Carpet out of the whole downstairs the morning my flooring guy started. Tack strip, staples, everything gone and the subfloor swept. Zero delay.”
“Great crew, showed up on time, worked hard. Only reason it is not five stars is I had to wait two days for a slot in the middle of summer.”
