Removing tile isn’t an easy project. It’s very labor intensive,  and it creates a big mess, but it’s also expensive to pay someone else to do.  We get calls almost weekly from people that started the removal themselves and stopped to call us.

Here are the main reasons:

#1 reason: The family is coughing and can’t stand the dust in their home any longer.

#2 reason: The floor is just not coming up easily enough, and after one to two weeks they are giving up.

#3 reason: They got all the tile up but could not get the thin-set.

You don’t save much when you hire someone to get only the thin-set up after the tile is gone.   The thin-set is much harder to get up most times than the tile, and it is priced accordingly.

We recommend keeping you and your family safe and healthy from the beginning, and have our dustless specialists take care of this for you.  We can do most jobs in one day and we leave your home as clean as we found it.

How do I remove glued-down hardwood?

Tearing up hardwood floors that have been glued directly to concrete will be an extremely messy and is very labor intensive.   The glue is sometimes seemingly impossible to get off.  This is why glued down wood is more expensive to remove than tile.  If the floor was a do it yourself  kind of installation, it may be the easier to remove, due to not enough or wrong adhesives used. You should be able to expect to pull up about 10 square foot per hour.  But what if it was installed by professionals?  Expect a glue removal nightmare!

Our recommendation is to keep you and your family safe and healthy by having our dustless specialists take care of this for you.  We can do most jobs in one day and we leave your home as clean as we found it.  This includes complete removal of wood and glue with a smooth, clean concrete slab ready for re-installation of your new floor.

How to remove decorative concrete stain, coating and paint from concrete?

Ask anyone who has ever stripped a sealer or coating from a concrete surface  with a chemical stripper what they thought of the process, and the general reaction will be it was complete misery.  The process of removing old or worn sealers and coatings from concrete ranks among one of the most miserable jobs even a professional may have to undertake.

There are two methods for removing sealers from concrete:

• Chemical, using a chemical stripper to remove the the coating
• Mechanical, which consists of grinding, blasting or sanding the coating off the surface

While both work, the mechanical method creates noise and dust, which can be difficult to deal with. This is why the most common method for removing sealers, paints or coatings from concrete is to use a chemical stripper.

Using our dustless equipment, we can grind the floor without the dust to keep you and your family safe and healthy. Our machines are still noisy, but we can do most jobs in one day and we leave your home as clean as we found it.  We leave you with a smooth, clean concrete slab ready for installation of your new flooring.

How to remove vinyl flooring, old linoleum or glue?

Removing an old linoleum or vinyl floor can sometimes be fairly easy, but what’s under it?  Glue! Noooooo!  Now you’re faced with gobs of old glue or adhesive that seem  almost impossible to get up.

Again, our recommendation is to keep you and your family safe and healthy and have our dustless specialists take care of this for you.  We can do most jobs in one day and we leave your home as clean as we found it.

The post Best Way To Remove Old Floors appeared first on Austin Dustless Tile Removal.

Dustless floor removal can cost anywhere from $3.00 to $4.50 per square foot for ceramic tile. Some companies might offer a lower price, but be cautious, as they might be cutting corners by using less effective equipment and poorly trained staff. 

Now, here’s where Austin Dustless stands out: we don’t include the cost of hauling your old flooring off in a dumpster or trailer in our per square foot price. This way, our clients and contractors can save money in two ways:

1. If you’re planning a renovation and already have a dumpster on-site, you won’t pay twice for dumpster services.
2. Many clients and contractors don’t always need to have a dumpster and so it doesn’t need to be included in the price. This means more savings for everyone.

In contrast, many other companies include these haul-off costs in their estimates, sometimes even making extra profit from this. At Austin Dustless, we never mark up the haul-off cost, ensuring you only pay for the services you receive.

Our pricing for ceramic floor tile removal ranges from $2.75 to $3.00 per square foot, and larger areas have lower costs. These prices are transparently listed on our website. No secrets or hidden fees; you’ll know you’re paying the same as all our other customers.

*Beware of companies that refuse to give you any pricing upfront!

If you come across companies that refuse to provide any pricing information upfront and only talk negatively about others, be cautious. We believe in transparency and providing consistent pricing. If someone makes you wait for an in-person visit before giving you a reasonable idea of their cost of removing floors, it might raise some red flags.

At Austin Dustless, we offer a competitive price for dust-free removal, which has numerous advantages over traditional methods. Besides leaving no dust behind, our process is more efficient, allowing us to remove up to 1200 square feet in one day. Traditional removal methods can be slower, potentially leave behind adhesives, and even damage your concrete, leading to costly repairs or the need for a professional cleaning service At Austin Dustless we value the health of your children, pets, elderly parents, and you.

Call for a free estimate for dust-free removal before you finalize your remodel budget.

A slightly higher upfront cost of removing floors can translate to long-term cost savings and benefits.
