Carpet Removal in Temecula — What It Costs, What It Takes

Yes. Padding comes out with the carpet as part of the standard job, either rolling up with it or getting scraped off the slab when it was glued down. Tack strips can come out too; just confirm it when the crew arrives, and they will lift them with flat pry bars to keep subfloor damage to a minimum. If new carpet is going back in the same week, the strips can often stay put and be reused.

Yes, though glued installations take longer than tacked carpet and call for different tools. The carpet gets scored into strips and pulled, then the crew scrapes off what lifts cleanly. Residual adhesive left bonded to a concrete slab is a grinding job, which is a separate specialty trade that follows our haul. We will tell you on the walk-through which of the two you are looking at.

Wild West prices by the volume the load takes up in the truck, not by the square foot, and you get the number in writing before anything moves. Carpet compresses well, so a typical three-bedroom tear-out lands smaller than most people expect. Text a photo of the rooms to (951) 837-8072 and you can have a flat quote back the same day. Current load pricing is listed on our junk removal price page.

There can be. Stair carry runs $150 on loads up to one-half truck load and $300 on loads over one-half truck load, and it applies whether the material is coming up the stairs or down them. Second-floor bedrooms are common enough around the valley that we ask about it on the phone, so mention the stairs when you call and the figure gets built into your written quote instead of appearing afterward.

It helps, but it is not a requirement. If a room is cleared, the crew goes straight to work. If it is not, we can move furniture out of the way and back, or haul off anything you are done with while we are already there. Just mention it when you book so we bring the right crew size.

No. The franchised hauler that services Temecula will not take rolled carpet in a standard cart, because the rolls wrap around the compaction screw on the truck. Some bulky item pickups will accept small cut sections, but a whole-house tear-out is well past that limit. That gap is exactly why carpet ends up in hauling jobs.

It gets sorted first. Recyclable nylon and PET backing is routed into California's carpet stewardship network, funded by the AB 2398 assessment you already paid at purchase. Padding is frequently rebonded into new carpet cushion. Contaminated or mixed-fiber material that no recycler will accept goes to a permitted transfer station.

Possibly, and it is worth a phone call before anyone starts pulling. Some older carpet adhesives and the cutback mastic under glued installs contained asbestos. Most Temecula housing stock is newer than that, but if you are working on an older De Luz or Old Town property, get the mastic tested first. Wild West does not disturb suspected asbestos-containing material, because that is licensed abatement work.

Yes. Offices, retail spaces, and multifamily turnovers are regular work for us. Commercial carpet is usually glued straight to the slab and covers a lot more square footage than a house, so we schedule early morning or after hours to keep your business open. Larger jobs get their own walk-through and quote.

Same-day is often available if you call early enough in the day. Our hours are Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm, and we are closed Saturday and Sunday. Scheduling ahead is smart during renovation season, when installers are booking tight and a delayed haul pushes the whole job back.

That is one of the most common calls we get. Water-damaged and pet-contaminated carpet gets bagged or wrapped at the room instead of dragged through the house, so the mess and the odor do not travel. Tell us up front so the crew brings sheeting and the right disposal routing, because contaminated material cannot go into the recycling stream.
