Hardwood Floor Removal in Independence, MO
We pull up old nailed-down hardwood, pull the nails, and haul every board away. Same-day available across Independence.
We're a local, Independence-owned crew, and Independence is right in our backyard. We pull up nailed hardwood in Independence homes built in 1978 or later, pull the nails, haul every board away, and sweep before we leave. Near Independence Square or across town, we'll come to you.
Old hardwood is held down by hundreds of nails, so pulling it up is slow, splintery work, and the boards pile up fast. We do the whole job. We pry up the hardwood or engineered wood, pull the nails and staples, carry every board out, haul it away the same visit, and sweep, so your installer starts on a clean subfloor. We work in houses, townhomes and rental homes built in 1978 or later, across the KC metro. If there's carpet or laminate in the other rooms, we pull that up in the same trip. Your baseboards stay on the wall, and the subfloor stays where it is. Text us the room sizes, a few photos and the year the home was built, and we'll send you a price.

FAQ
Hardwood questions in Independence
The most-asked hardwood questions in Independence.
It depends on how many rooms, how the floor is fastened down, and how much is coming out. Text us the room sizes and a few photos and we'll send you a price, then confirm it in writing on-site before we start. Every job has our $125 trip minimum. If we're already there for carpet or other junk, adding the hardwood usually costs less than a separate trip.
The finish on hardwood floors in homes built before 1978 can contain lead, and pulling the boards up disturbs it. That work needs EPA lead-safe certification, which we don't hold. If you're not sure when your home was built, your county's property records or Zillow will show it. If an older floor has been tested and found lead-free in writing, send us the report.
Solid hardwood and engineered wood that's nailed or stapled down. We don't remove glued-down wood floors, stair treads, or the subfloor underneath. For floating click-together floors, see our laminate floor removal.
Yes. We pull the nails and staples left in the subfloor as we go, then sweep, so your installer can start on a clean floor.
We lift the hardwood and leave the old vinyl, linoleum or tile underneath alone. Flooring like that from before the 1980s, and the glue under it, can contain asbestos and should be tested before anyone disturbs it.
Baseboards stay on the wall. We can pull the quarter round or shoe molding if the floor needs it to come out, and the subfloor stays in place.
We do hardwood removal in homes: houses, townhomes, and duplexes and other buildings with up to four units. Offices, stores and bigger apartment buildings usually need an asbestos inspection before any flooring comes up, so we don't take those right now. If someone else pulls the floor, we can still haul it away.
Yes, in any home. If you or your installer already pulled it, we just haul it, priced by the truck space it fills like any other junk.
We're based in Independence, so most same-day requests are picked up within 2–4 hours. If you book before 11am, we usually have you cleared out by dinner.
