Wall-to-wall carpet is one of those projects that looks like a half-day DIY until you actually start ripping. Tack strips bite. Padding crumbles. Old carpet weighs a ton when it’s compressed in the corner of the garage.
We come in with prybars, respirators, gloves, and a truck big enough to take every last roll. By the time we leave, you have a swept, ready-to-finish subfloor and one less project on your list.
Full-service carpet removal
Our team handles all the heavy lifting, stairs, and safe transportation. We’ll pull a single room of carpet or clear wall-to-wall across an entire home in one visit — padding, tack strips, and underlayment included.

Excellent service! Highly recommend this company for junk removal. I had junk lying around my yard for months and the crew who came over cleaned out the junk in no time. They were professional and did a wonderful job at clearing out my space. Kudos to the team!

Fast, friendly, and fairly priced. The crew showed up when they said they would and hauled away an entire garage of junk in under an hour. Couldn't be happier.

We had a basement full of old furniture and boxes from a relative's estate. The Penguin team was respectful, efficient, and honest about pricing up front. Would absolutely use again.

Got a same-day appointment to take a hot tub out of my backyard. Crew was strong, careful with my fence, and left the area cleaner than they found it.
