Carpet Removal in Colorado: where we work and what we see
We serve 149 cities and towns in Colorado, from Denver, Colorado Springs and Aurora to the small towns in between, across the Front Range, the Western Slope, the San Luis Valley, the Eastern Plains and the mountain resorts.
Front Range landfills are consolidating and fees are rising, so we sort hard for metal and donation before anything is dumped. Every load goes to the right facility for the county it came from.
Hail-damaged campers, spring cleanouts after long winters, and mountain-town properties that turn over every few years.

How it works
How carpet removal works in Colorado
From "can you take this?" to "it's gone" is usually one visit. This is the order it happens in.
- 01
Measure
Rooms, stairs, and closets measured before we start.
- 02
Cut and roll
Carpet cut into strips, rolled, taped, and carried out. Pad the same.

Why now
Why Colorado stops putting it off
Nobody schedules carpet removal for fun. These are the reasons Colorado homeowners finally pick up the phone.
- Flooring installers charge more to remove carpet and may reschedule if it is not done.
- Pet-damaged carpet and pad hold odor no cleaning will fix.
- Rental turnovers show better with the old carpet gone.
- Hail-damaged campers, spring cleanouts after long winters, and mountain-town properties that turn over every few years.

Straight talk
What carpet removal does not include
A few things we will tell you up front, because you would rather hear them now than on the day.
- We remove carpet and pad. We do not install flooring or repair subfloor.
- Asbestos-backed vinyl or older adhesives under carpet must be tested and, if present, abated by a licensed contractor.

Sound familiar?
Common carpet removal situations in Colorado
If one of these sounds like your Colorado situation, you are in the right place. If it does not, we still want to hear about it.
- 01
Flooring installers arrive tomorrow
The new floor is in the garage, and the installer wants bare subfloor when they walk in.
- 02
The pet-damaged carpet
No cleaning fixed it. The carpet and the pad are the problem, and both have to go.
- 03
Water damage
A leak soaked the carpet and pad in two rooms, and it needs to come out before mold sets in.
- 04
Rental turnover
Ten years of tenants and the carpet shows every one of them.
Afterward
Where carpet removal material from Colorado ends up
"Where does it go?" is the right question to ask any removal company. This is our answer for Colorado.
- 01
Donation first
Furniture, working appliances, tools, and household goods in usable condition go to donation partners before anything else is decided.
- 02
Metal, cardboard, and e-waste
Scrap metal is separated for recycling, cardboard is baled, and electronics go to certified e-waste handlers rather than the landfill.
- 03
Special items
Mattresses, tires, and refrigerant appliances have their own disposal paths at most facilities, and we follow them.
- 04
Licensed disposal last
What is left goes to a licensed transfer station or landfill for the county it came from. Nothing is dumped.
Before we arrive
How to prepare for carpet removal in Colorado
You do not need to do much before a carpet removal crew arrives in Colorado, but three small things make the day go faster.
- Move small furniture and breakables out of the rooms if you can; we can move the big pieces.
- Tell us if there is glue-down carpet or old vinyl underneath.
- Decide whether you want tack strips and staples out; most installers do.
Equipment
What carpet removal in Colorado takes
The reason this job gets turned down by other companies is usually equipment. This is what we bring to Colorado.
- 01
Dollies and straps
Appliance dollies, furniture straps, and floor protection for stairs, hallways, and tight turns.
- 02
Box truck or trailer
Sized to the load so a single-item pickup does not pay for a full truck, and a garage cleanout does not take two trips.
- 03
Cutting tools
Hot tubs, sheds, and built-ins are cut down in place when they cannot come out whole.
Choosing a company
What to ask any carpet removal company
Ask us these. Ask the other companies too. The answers separate a licensed removal company from an unlicensed one.
- 01
Where does it go?
Ask for the name of the transfer station and whether they donate. A company that cannot answer is dumping somewhere it should not.
- 02
Is there insurance?
General liability and auto, with a certificate they will email you. A scratched floor or a broken railing is on them, not you.
- 03
Will they sweep?
It sounds small. It is the difference between a job and a job done.
- 04
Do they take the hard stuff?
Hot tubs, pianos, and safes need a plan and the right equipment. Ask what they bring for an item that four people cannot carry.

Questions
Carpet Removal in Colorado: your questions
Do you remove the tack strips?
Yes, on request, along with staples so the subfloor is ready.
Can you do it the day before the installers come?
That is the most common way we schedule it.
Do you offer same-day carpet removal in Colorado?
Same-day carpet removal in Colorado depends on that day's schedule. We keep windows open for urgent calls, and next-day is almost always available.
Are you licensed and insured for carpet removal in Colorado?
Yes. Lucky Hauling carries general liability and auto coverage for every job in Colorado. Ask the office for a certificate of insurance and we will email it before the crew arrives.
Which areas near Colorado do you cover?
All of the Colorado area, including Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora and Fort Collins. If you are outside that, we still probably cover you; check the Colorado page for the full city list.
How do I set up carpet removal in Colorado?
Send a few photos through the estimate form or by text. We confirm what we can take and set up the free on-site estimate, and nothing is loaded until you say yes.
Do I need to be home for carpet removal in Colorado?
Only for the estimate, and even that can happen by phone or text with photos from the crew. Property managers and out-of-town owners do it this way every week.
What should I do before the crew gets to Colorado?
Very little. Decide what stays, point it out or tape it, and clear a path if it is easy. Set aside anything with personal data you want to keep. The crew does the rest.
Can you get it out of a tight spot in Colorado?
Yes. Narrow stairs, basements, and backyards with no gate are normal. We carry it out by hand and protect the floors on the way.
What if the weather is bad on the day?
Rain does not stop most jobs. Lightning, ice, and high wind do, especially for boat lifts and tow work. If we have to move your window we tell you as early as we can and reschedule at no charge.
Where does the junk from Colorado actually go?
Donatable items go to donation partners, metal and cardboard are recycled, and the rest goes to a licensed transfer station or landfill. Front Range landfills are consolidating and fees are rising, so we sort hard for metal and donation before anything is dumped.
