About the Service

Old Floor Removal & Disposal, Made for Your Home

Every floor comes out differently. Tile is chipped from thinset, glued-down vinyl is scraped, nailed hardwood is pried up and carpet is cut and rolled. We have the tools and the experience for each.

We protect your home, contain debris as best we can, haul away everything and inspect the subfloor so you know what is underneath before the new floor goes in.

Music City Floor brings old floor removal & disposal to homes and businesses in Nashville and across 21 Middle Tennessee cities.

Questions About Old Floor Removal

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

Do you haul away the old flooring?

Yes. Removal and disposal are part of the job, and we confirm it in your estimate.

Is removing tile messy?

Tile removal is dusty and noisy. We use dust control methods and protect surrounding areas, and we clean the work area when we finish.

What if there is asbestos in old flooring?

Some very old flooring and adhesives may contain asbestos. If we suspect it, we stop and recommend testing before any work continues. Your safety comes first.
