Ripping out old carpet sounds simple until you’re three hours in, covered in dust, and your truck’s still too small for the rolled-up mess. Whether you’re a homeowner in Belmont Shore upgrading to hardwood or a contractor flipping a Bixby Knolls rental, carpet removal in Long Beach is the kind of job that eats up your weekend and your patience. K9 Junk Removal & Hauling handles the whole thing—we pull, roll, haul, and dispose of carpet, padding, and tack strips so you don’t have to.
We work with homeowners tackling DIY renovations, property managers clearing tenant turnovers, and general contractors running multiple job sites across Long Beach. From single rooms in Signal Hill condos to whole-house carpet removal in Craftsman homes near 4th Street, we show up with the right equipment and the insurance to back it up.
Why homeowners and contractors in Long Beach call K9 for carpet removal
Long Beach properties come in every flavor—1920s bungalows with original carpet padding that’s crumbling to dust, mid-century apartments near Cal State Long Beach, beachfront condos with salt-air-soaked fibers. Carpet removal isn’t just about yanking up a few tack strips. You’re dealing with adhesive, staples, years of embedded padding, and disposal that most waste services won’t touch.
We’ve pulled carpet from East Village lofts, Belmont Heights duplexes, and commercial spaces along Long Beach Boulevard. Homeowners call us because they don’t want to rent a truck, deal with the transfer station, or risk throwing out their back. Contractors call because they need it done between trades, on a timeline, without liability gaps.
K9 is fully insured—liability and workers comp. That matters when someone’s hauling debris through your hallway or job site. We’re available weekends and after-hours because renovation schedules don’t run 9-to-5, and neither do we. Jean Guizzetti started K9 in 2021 from nothing, and we’ve built this business on showing up when we say we will and doing the work right.
What’s included in our carpet removal service
This isn’t a drop-off-a-dumpster situation. We do the labor. Here’s what that looks like:
- Full carpet pull: We cut, roll, and remove all carpet and padding from the rooms you specify
- Tack strip and staple removal: We pull tack strips, sweep staples, and leave subfloors clean enough for your flooring installer to start immediately
- Adhesive and glue-down carpet: Older Long Beach homes often have glued-down carpet or tile backing. We handle scraping and removal (within reason—major adhesive remediation may require a flooring specialist, and we’ll tell you that upfront)
- Haul-out and disposal: We load everything into our truck and dispose of it properly. You don’t coordinate anything
- Multi-level and tight-access jobs: Stairs, narrow hallways, second-story condos near the ocean—we work in all of it
If you’ve got furniture that needs moving before we can pull carpet, we can handle that too. Same with baseboards—if you want them removed carefully for reinstall, just tell us. We don’t say no to anything that keeps the project moving forward.
How the process works
Carpet removal jobs move fast when they’re planned right. Here’s our typical process:
- You call or submit details online: Tell us how many rooms, square footage if you know it, and whether there’s furniture or special access (like a walk-up in Naples or a narrow driveway in Los Altos). We’ll ask a few questions and give you a clear quote.
- We schedule around your timeline: Homeowners usually want weekends. Contractors need us between drywall and flooring. We work with both. If you need after-hours access to avoid disrupting tenants, we can do that.
- We show up and do the pull: Our crew cuts and rolls the carpet, pulls padding and tack strips, and clears debris as we go. Most single-family homes take a few hours. Larger jobs or multi-unit properties may take a day.
- We sweep and haul: Before we leave, we sweep the subfloor, remove all staples and debris, and load everything into our truck.
- You’re ready for the next trade: Subfloors are clean, access is clear, and your flooring installer or painter can start immediately.
If we run into something unexpected—rotted subfloor, asbestos tiles underneath, structural damage—we’ll stop and talk to you before proceeding. We guide you even if it means less business for us in the moment.
Long Beach–specific considerations for carpet removal
Long Beach has its quirks when it comes to renovation work. Older homes near the traffic circle or in California Heights often have multiple layers of flooring—carpet over linoleum over hardwood. If you’re a homeowner, you may not know what’s underneath until we pull the first layer. We walk you through options if we find something worth saving or something that complicates the plan.
Some neighborhoods have HOA rules about construction hours or truck access, especially in gated communities or beachfront condos. We’re used to working within those restrictions. If you’re a contractor managing a rental turnover in a multi-unit building, we coordinate with property managers and schedule around tenant occupancy.
Disposal is straightforward in Long Beach, but commercial carpet or padding from large jobs sometimes requires separate handling. We take care of that routing—you don’t need to think about transfer stations or waste codes.
Why we’re the trusted carpet removal choice in Long Beach
K9 isn’t the cheapest option. We’re the option that shows up insured, on time, and ready to handle complications without nickel-and-diming you. Jean built this company from the ground up as a Venezuelan immigrant starting in 2021. Every job matters because our reputation is how we grow.
We carry full liability and workers comp insurance. That’s non-negotiable, and it protects you whether we’re in a Signal Hill condo or a commercial space downtown. We’re available weekends and after-hours because we know renovation schedules don’t stop for business hours. And we don’t treat homeowners different from contractors—everyone gets the same straight talk and reliable service.
If you’re pulling carpet in Long Beach and want it done right, without the runaround or the risk of an uninsured crew, we’re here for it. We handle the labor, the haul, and the disposal so you can move on to the next phase of your project.
