When homeowners want to remove a tile floor to replace it either with new tile or another type of flooring, they may be tempted to try to handle the job on their own. However, this project is actually more involved than it may seem, so hiring a Tile Removal Service is often a better alternative.
Ease of Removal
In some cases, damaged tile may come off easily without damaging the subfloor. However, it’s more likely the tile will need to be broken down and removed in pieces, which is a much more difficult job. A professional Tile Removal Service may have specialized tools not available to the general public that will more easily and more quickly remove the flooring. This job can take hours of hard labor chipping away at the tile and hauling away the debris. Besides, you can accidentally damage the floor (or the ceiling of the floor below) if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Waste Disposal
One factor people don’t always take into consideration is the removal of the debris after the floor has been taken up. This is a very heavy waste, and the garbage company isn’t going to take it away for you. You’ll need to haul it away or pay someone to do this for you, and the cost of dumping it in a landfill also needs to be considered. A professional tile removal service will handle this for you as part of their fee.
Cost Considerations
The cost of hiring a professional for this type of service varies by location but, typically, ranges from $2.95 to $5.99 per square foot of tile to be removed. This means it would cost between $353.46 and $718.26 to remove the tile from a 120 square foot room and dispose of the debris.
Prep Considerations
Whether removing tile yourself or having professionals do the job, remember that a lot of dust will be created. Doing some prep work ahead of time, such as taping cabinets closed and covering things that can’t be removed to seal out the dust, will make cleanup easier.
