Whether you’re updating a hillside home off Westlake Drive or prepping a flip near Redbud Trail, old carpet doesn’t remove itself—and it’s heavier, dustier, and more stubborn than most people expect. That’s where we come in. K9 Junk Removal & Hauling handles carpet removal in West Lake Hills for homeowners, small contractors, and property managers who want the job done right without the hassle of renting a truck or dealing with disposal.
We’re a family-owned, fully insured operation that’s been serving the Austin area since 2021. When you call us, you’re talking to Jean or someone on our crew—not a call center. We show up when we say we will, we work weekends and after-hours if that’s what fits your schedule, and we haul off everything so you don’t lift a finger.
Why Homeowners and Contractors in West Lake Hills Call K9 for Carpet Removal
West Lake Hills properties—especially older homes with split-levels and hillside lots—often have carpet in multiple rooms, stairs, and awkward spaces. Removing carpet isn’t just about pulling it up. There’s padding that crumbles into dust, tack strips with rusty nails, staples embedded in subfloors, and the sheer bulk of rolling it all up and getting it out of tight hallways or down steep driveways.
Homeowners call us because they’re tired halfway through the first bedroom. Contractors call us because their crew is better spent on install work, not hauling soggy padding to the landfill. Either way, we handle the carpet removal in West Lake Hills TX from start to finish—tear-out, debris cleanup, and disposal.
We’re not the cheapest option in town, but we’re the one that shows up with insurance, experience, and respect for your property. We don’t drag carpet across your wood floors or leave nails scattered in the driveway. We do the job like it’s our own house.
What’s Included in Our Carpet Removal Service
When we say full-service carpet removal, here’s exactly what that means:
- Complete tear-out of carpet, padding, and tack strips in all agreed-upon rooms
- Staple and nail removal from subfloors (we pull what’s accessible and safe—not refinishing work, but we leave your floor cleaner than most crews)
- Rolling, bagging, and hauling all debris out of your home or job site
- Proper disposal at licensed facilities—no dumping on the side of 360
- Stair carpet removal, including tricky curved or narrow staircases common in hillside homes
- Optional baseboard removal if you need it (just let us know up front)
We bring our own tools, gloves, and disposal bags. You don’t need to prep anything. If there’s furniture still in the room, we can usually work around it or move smaller pieces as needed—just talk to us when we give you the walkthrough.
How the Carpet Removal Process Works
We keep it simple. Here’s how a typical West Lake Hills carpet removal job goes:
- Call or message us: Tell us what rooms need carpet removed, how many square feet (rough guess is fine), and whether there are stairs or tricky access issues. We’ll usually give you a ballpark estimate over the phone.
- Schedule a walkthrough (if needed): For larger homes or multi-level properties, we’ll come take a look so there are no surprises on job day. No obligation, no pressure.
- We show up on time: Our crew arrives with tools, a truck, and a plan. We’ll do a quick walkthrough with you, confirm the scope, and get to work.
- Tear-out and haul-off: We pull up carpet, remove padding and tack strips, bag or roll everything, and load it into our truck. We clean up loose debris and sweep as we go.
- Final walkthrough: Before we leave, we walk the space with you to make sure it’s ready for your next step—whether that’s new flooring, subfloor repair, or just breathing easier in a dust-free room.
Most single-family carpet removal jobs in West Lake Hills take a few hours to half a day, depending on square footage and access. We work efficiently, but we don’t rush and leave a mess.
West Lake Hills–Specific Considerations for Carpet Removal
West Lake Hills isn’t your typical grid neighborhood, and that affects how we work. Hillside properties often mean steep driveways, narrow indoor staircases, and homes with multiple levels. We’re used to it. We plan our truck positioning and haul routes so we’re not tracking debris across your landscaping or struggling with a carpet roll on a 30-degree slope.
There’s also the dust factor. Older homes near Westlake Drive or along Bee Creek often have carpet that’s been down for decades. When padding disintegrates, it creates a surprising amount of fine dust. We contain it as much as possible and recommend you plan to be out of the house (or at least out of the work area) during tear-out if you’re sensitive to dust.
If you’re doing a permitted remodel, keep in mind that most residential carpet removal doesn’t require a permit on its own—but if you’re combining it with structural work or a full gut, check with the City of West Lake Hills or your contractor. We’re happy to coordinate timing with other trades if you’ve got a larger project rolling.
Finally, disposal: Travis County has strict rules about construction debris, and we follow them. Everything we haul off goes to a licensed facility. You’ll never have to worry about fines or surprise fees because we “forgot” to mention disposal costs.
