Floor removal & demo, Tigard, OR

Floor removal & demo in Tigard, OR

Nobody buys a new floor because they wanted the old one removed, which is exactly why removal is where corners get cut. It is also the stage where you find out what you are really dealing with: what the subfloor is doing, whether the underlayment has been wet, and whether the material coming up needs testing before it is disturbed. We treat it as part of the job, not an afterthought. Installed by our own crew across Tigard.

Built for Tigard homes.

Tigard is a boom town that finished booming. It had 6,499 residents in 1970 and 54,539 by 2020, and the housing reads like a timeline of those decades — Main Street commercial buildings from the 1907 to 1910 railroad era, then wave after wave of subdivision. Bull Mountain, annexed by city voters in 2004, is the hillside end of it. Of the city's 22,829 housing units, 60.9 percent are owner-occupied, which is the profile of a place where people replace floors rather than patch them.

Most Tigard jobs we quote are second- or third-generation floors: original 1970s and 1980s subdivision homes where the builder carpet has long gone and someone's 1990s laminate is now cupping at the seams. Split-levels and daylight basements are common here, which means transitions and stair nosings are half the job — get those wrong and it is the part people trip on and look at every day. On Bull Mountain the lots are sloped and the houses are tall, so stairs, landings and matching trim carry a lot of the visual weight.

Closer to Main Street the housing is older and the subfloor deserves a look before anything is ordered.

Tigard FAQs

Floor removal & demo in Tigard, questions

Do you cover Bull Mountain and the unincorporated pockets around Tigard?

Yes. Bull Mountain, Metzger and the areas around Washington Square are all inside our normal service range from the Newberg showroom. Sloped-lot houses usually mean stairs and multiple levels, and we quote those as their own line rather than burying them in a square-foot number.

Our house is from the late 1970s. What usually turns up under the carpet?

Plywood or particleboard underlayment, staples by the thousand, and sometimes a layer of sheet vinyl that was never taken up. None of it is unusual. We look before we quote so the number you get already accounts for removal and any underlayment that has to be replaced, instead of it becoming a change order on install day.

Is removal included in the price of the new floor?

Yes. We quote removal and disposal as part of the job, so the number you sign is the number that covers getting the old floor out and away. The only time it changes is if we find something underneath that genuinely was not visible at the estimate, and we would talk to you before doing anything about it.

My house is from the 1970s. Should I be worried about asbestos?

Worried, no. Careful, yes. Resilient sheet flooring and some adhesives from before about 1980 can contain asbestos, and it is only a hazard if it is disturbed and made airborne. We identify it and have it tested rather than guessing, and where it is present the removal is handled by the proper route. It is manageable — it just should not be improvised.

How much mess will there be?

Carpet removal is clean and quick. Scraping adhered vinyl or breaking out an old tile floor is genuinely dusty and noisy for a day or two. We contain the work area, cover the routes through the house and clean up at the end of each day, and we will tell you honestly at the estimate which kind of job yours is going to be.

Can you just remove a floor without installing a new one?

We can, though there is a minimum on any job and removal on its own is not the bulk of what we do. Give us a call and describe it. If it makes sense we will take it on, and if you would genuinely be better served by someone else we will say that instead.
