Tile Floor Removal in Kansas City
We break up old ceramic and porcelain floor tile and haul every piece away.
Old tile doesn't come up easy. It has to be broken loose piece by piece, the mortar and backer board come with it, and the pile is much heavier than it looks. We do the whole job. We break up the ceramic or porcelain tile, take out the backer board underneath, carry every bucket 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 across the KC metro: kitchens, bathrooms, entryways and laundry rooms. It's loud, dusty work, so plan to keep kids and pets out of the room while we're there. Your baseboards stay on the wall. Because tile is heavy, we price it from the room size and a few photos instead of by truck space.

Real customers across the Kansas City metro, in their own words.
“These guys are amazing. Called them needing junk removed, with the only access to the property being a closed road under construction. They gave me a quote and came out same day - took multiple trips, cleaned up the entire area, and were extremely courteous and professional. Will absolutely use again - very reasonably priced, efficient, and did the job better than I even expected! Could not recommend more.”
“Very professional they came out the same day we called them and got our whole basement cleaned out! Would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Called Royal Jun Pros on a Friday morning and they were on site within 4 hours and took care of everything. Received before and after photos of what needed to be cleaned up and they also repaired my fence while on site. A definite 5 star company and will use them again when needed. Great job!”
“Had Royal Junk Pros come out to clean my garage, and they did a great job. I had a bunch of old junk and random stuff that had piled up over the years, and they got everything loaded up way faster than I expected. They showed up when they said they would, were friendly and professional, and made the whole process really easy.”
“After I sent a text to the guys via the website, they sent an estimate quickly and a time they could come pick up my items. They were communicative, professional, and polite! They were at my house same day and got everything I needed hauled away. Super easy and reasonably priced!”
“Dominic and Austin turned up less than 24 hours after I called. They worked quickly and I appreciate their diligence. They had me back at work in no time, which I guess isn't their fault lol”

FAQ
Common questions about tile
It depends on the size of the room, what the tile is set on, and how much comes up. Tile is heavy and disposal is charged by weight, so we price it from the room size and photos rather than by truck space. Text us both and we'll send you a price, then confirm it in writing on-site before we start. Every job has our $125 trip minimum.
Ceramic and porcelain floor tile set in thinset or mortar, along with the backer board underneath. We don't remove wall tile or shower surrounds, because the drywall behind them usually comes off too, and we don't remove vinyl tile of any kind.
We stop and leave it. Old black adhesive (often called mastic) and old vinyl flooring can contain asbestos, and they should be tested before anyone breaks them up. If a test comes back clean in writing, send it over and we can finish the job.
Baseboards stay on the wall. In homes built before 1978 we leave all painted trim alone, because the paint can contain lead. We work up to the cabinets and leave them in place, unless you've also booked cabinet removal.
Yes. Breaking up tile is loud and dusty. Keep kids and pets out of the room, close nearby doors, and we sweep up before we leave.
Yes. Tile on a concrete slab comes up the same way. A thin layer of mortar can stay stuck to the concrete, and your installer may grind it smooth before the new floor goes down.
We do tile 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 tile, we can still haul it away.
Yes, in any home. Bagged or bucketed tile and backer board are priced by weight and the space they take, like any heavy debris.
