Hello, neighbor

Old Floor Removal and Subfloor Prep, Done Right the First Time

Tear-out, haul-away, and subfloor leveling - the prep work that makes every new floor in Denton County look (and stay) perfectly flat.

The step nobody sees, but every floor depends on

A new floor is only as good as what's underneath it. Flooring and Stone of Denton handles every step before installation for Denton County homes and businesses - old floor demolition, haul-away, dust control, moisture testing, and subfloor leveling - so your new floor lays flat, locks tight, and doesn't come back to bite you two years later.

We work on every existing surface: glue-down tile, nailed-down hardwood, floating laminate, sheet vinyl, and bonded carpet. Whatever's coming out, it comes out clean, and the room is left ready for the next crew - often our own installers, picking up the same day.

Why leveling matters more here than most places realize

Denton County's clay-heavy soil shifts with the seasons, which over years can leave a slab or subfloor out of level in ways that aren't obvious until a new floor goes down over them. An uneven subfloor causes LVP and laminate joints to fail early and can crack rigid tile outright. We check every job against manufacturer tolerances and correct it with self-leveling underlayment before we consider a floor ready - it's the difference between a floor that lasts and one that gets pulled up again in a few years.

Why leveling matters more here than most places realize

Dust control that respects your home or business

Old thinset, adhesives, and tile can carry silica dust or, in homes built before roughly 1990, materials that require testing before disturbance. We seal off work areas with plastic, run HEPA air scrubbers, and follow proper protocol on any older material - a level of care that's standard on our [commercial flooring](/commercial-flooring) jobs and one we bring to every residential demo too. If we uncover damage that goes beyond removal - rot, subfloor rot, structural sag - we'll walk you through it as a [floor repair](/floor-repair) item before moving forward.

Dust control that respects your home or business

Floor Demolition & Prep - frequently asked questions

Yes - haul-away and disposal is part of every demo visit. You won't be left with a pile of old tile or carpet to deal with yourself.

We use HEPA-filtered air scrubbers, plastic containment, and dust-collecting tools, which cuts down dramatically on what spreads to adjacent rooms compared to a typical uncontrolled demo.

We check during the estimate and only recommend it when the subfloor is genuinely outside the tolerance your new flooring needs. If it's within spec, we'll tell you and skip the extra step and cost.

Certain vinyl tile and adhesive from before about 1990 can contain asbestos. If we suspect it, we pause, arrange testing, and bring in licensed abatement before continuing - safety comes before schedule.

Yes, extensively - it's the foundation of every [tile flooring](/tile-flooring) installation we do, and it's where Guadalupe Martinez's decades of stone-setting experience shows up most.
