Our Tile Removal Services
Our team removes tile quickly without leaving a mess behind — no cracked slabs, stubborn thinset, or lingering debris. We use commercial tools and HEPA vacuums to minimize dust, protect adjacent surfaces, and ensure your subfloor or wall is clean and ready for the next contractor.
From indoor flooring to outdoor hardscapes, we tackle tough tile jobs with precision. Our crew uses commercial-grade tools to break bond layers cleanly and minimize damage beneath, specializing in:
- Ceramic, porcelain, or stone floor tile in kitchens, living areas, and hallways
- Shower and tub surround tile, including grout and waterproofing layers
- Kitchen backsplashes, countertops, and accent walls
- Outdoor tile on patios, steps, and entryways
- Fireplace hearths and decorative tile surfaces
Our team uses commercial-grade tools to break adhesive bonds, chip off tile, and prepare surfaces for whatever comes next.
Why Hire a Professional Demo Crew?
Tile removal takes muscle — but also finesse. DIY work often leads to cracked subfloors, dust clouds, or tile shards left behind.
Our licensed and insured team ensures:
- Controlled tile and grout removal
- Substrate protection (concrete, wood, or drywall)
- Dust-mitigation tools and HEPA vacs
- Responsible debris sorting and haul-away
You’ll avoid cracked slabs, flying shards, and hours of cleanup with professional help.
What Affects the Cost of Tile Removal?
Several factors impact the cost of your project. We offer fast, accurate quotes based on your layout and scope.
Your quote will depend on:
- Location and travel distance
- Floor vs. wall tile and room size
- Type of tile (porcelain is harder than ceramic)
- Thickness of mortar or mastic adhesive
- Access and site prep needs
- Disposal volume and weight
Estimates typically require photos or site visit, but we respond quickly and work around your schedule.
