Professional carpet removal for San Rafael homes and businesses
Pulling up carpet looks simple until you are halfway through it. Under the carpet there is padding stapled to the subfloor, and around every edge there is tack strip nailed down with hundreds of exposed nails. Then you are left with rolls of carpet that are far heavier than they look and will not fit in any bin.
We do the whole tear-out for San Rafael homes: carpet up, padding up, staples pulled, tack strip removed, subfloor swept and ready for the new flooring to go down.
Because Gerstle Park Victorians, Dominican estates and the Eichler-built Terra Linda tracts, each with a very different removal profile in San Rafael, we frequently find hardwood underneath that the owner did not know was there — and older homes can also have pre-1980 adhesives and underlayment that need appropriate handling rather than a crowbar and optimism.

Working in San Rafael, CA
San Rafael sits in Marin County, and our crews cover it as part of their regular weekly route.
San Rafael is Gerstle Park Victorians, Dominican estates and the Eichler-built Terra Linda tracts, each with a very different removal profile, and that determines how a carpet removal job actually runs.
Access is the other factor. In San Rafael, this is our home base — San Rafael jobs typically get same-day or next-day scheduling because the crew and the recovery center are both in town.
Everything we collect in San Rafael is routed through Marin Resource Recovery Center in San Rafael rather than the nearest convenient hole in the ground.
It is also worth knowing that the Marin Resource Recovery Center is in San Rafael itself and runs a high-diversion sorting line, so a large share of every local load is recovered rather than buried.

San Rafael customers on our carpet removal
“The hot tub had been dead on the deck since we bought the house. They cut it apart and carried it out in pieces without touching the railings. Quoted from a photo and the price did not change.”
“Carpet out of the whole downstairs the morning my flooring guy started. Tack strip, staples, everything gone and the subfloor swept. Zero delay.”
“Same-day pickup in Sausalito, which I did not think was possible given the stairs down to our place. They carried it all up to Bridgeway by hand.”
