Carpet Removal Services in Fontana, CA
Carpet removal is more than just pulling up old flooring - it requires proper technique to avoid damaging subfloors, proper disposal of materials that can be recycled, and thorough cleanup of debris left behind. In Fontana neighborhoods like North Fontana, South Fontana, and the areas near Gateway Boulevard, homeowners often face carpet replacement after years of wear, water damage, or pet-related issues. M&Ms Junk Removal & Moving specializes in residential and commercial carpet removal, including removal of adhesive residue, staples, and old padding that accumulates over decades.
Our carpet removal process starts with an on-site assessment to determine square footage, carpet type, and underlying subfloor condition. We systematically cut and roll carpet sections into manageable bundles, extract tack strips and fasteners, remove underlayment and padding layers, and haul all materials to appropriate disposal or recycling facilities. For homes in Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Upland, and Riverside County areas served by M&Ms, we coordinate timing with your general contractor or flooring installer to ensure seamless transitions between removal and new installation.

Our Carpet Removal Process
Initial Assessment and Quote
We visit your Fontana property to measure carpet area, identify carpet type (Saxony, Berber, shag, etc.), assess subfloor condition, and note any special circumstances. Quote provided same day or within 24 hours with clear pricing for your specific project scope.
Carpet Cutting and Rolling
Our crew cuts carpet into 3-4 foot sections for manageable handling and rolls them tightly for efficient transport. Process typically takes 2-4 hours for average residential home (1,500-2,500 sq ft) in areas from Bloomington to Chino Hills.
Tack Strip and Padding Removal
We extract all tack strips nailed around room perimeters using pry bars and extraction tools. Underlying padding and underlayment are pulled up completely, exposing the bare subfloor beneath. Completed within the same appointment timeframe.
Adhesive Cleanup and Final Sweep
For glued-down carpets common in commercial spaces in downtown Fontana and San Bernardino, we scrape and clean residual adhesive. Final vacuum and sweep removes all fiber particles and dust from subfloor before new flooring installation begins.
Haul-Away and Disposal
All carpet rolls, padding, tack strips, and debris are loaded onto our trucks and transported to appropriate facilities. Materials are recycled when possible through local San Bernardino County programs or disposed of per regulations. Typically completed same day as removal.
