16+ Years of experience
"We hired Mike Osan on August 24th. He came out the following week and removed the old flooring on the 1st floor. He packed everything in manageable bundles for removal. He cleaned everything, to leave ready for the following week to install new laminated flooring. He started work as promised at 9 am and would finish by 5 pm. He was meticulous in his work. He would clean after his day, leaving the area clean. The work is done promptly. We were extremely pleased with his work ethic. We have a project for the stairs next year. We already made it known to him, that the project is his. We are very pleased to have hired this young man."

"Home Repair Fraud. Theft by deception. We got a new floor and the installer said his brother was the field estimator and was authorized to remove the "Kitchen Cabinets"? We never wanted cabinets from a flooring company, But they targeted the owner because she is 91 years old and took them. Months later we got them back from the ex-con and hoodlum they sent to rob the owner totally destroyed and had to pay another $1300 to get them back. We feared for our safety because they wanted to know if the house was for sale and what types of cars we were driving. They prey upon the elderly. Do not use this company unless you have a criminal attorney on retainer. Stay away from DeSitter at all costs."

Removal timelines vary significantly based on installation method and room complexity. Professional teams can complete a standard bedroom (120 to 150 square feet) in four to six hours, while DIY efforts might extend across an entire weekend.
Factors affecting completion time include furniture removal, baseboard detachment, and underlayment condition. Glued installations require substantially more time than floating floors, potentially doubling the labor hours needed for thorough removal.
Essential equipment includes a pry bar, utility knife, hammer, and protective gear (gloves, eye protection, and dust mask). For areas with adhesive, you'll need scrapers and potentially a heat gun to soften stubborn glue. A shop vacuum helps manage dust and debris throughout the process. Knee pads provide crucial comfort during extended periods of floor-level work. Proper preparation with the right tools helps prevent both personal injury and damage to your subfloor during removal.
Subfloor damage risks increase with aggressive removal techniques and inadequate preparation. Working methodically with appropriate tools minimizes potential harm to the underlying structure. Particular care should be taken around edges and transitions where fasteners might be present.
Inspect the subfloor thoroughly after removal to identify any areas needing repair before installing new flooring. Pre-existing moisture issues often reveal themselves during laminate removal, requiring attention regardless of the removal method.
Stair removal involves more intricate work than standard laminate floor removal due to the complex shapes and limited workspace. The process requires careful attention to avoid damaging the underlying stair structure. Consider stair removal as part of a comprehensive flooring update, as matching new materials to existing stair components can be challenging.
Always inspect stair integrity during the removal process, as this presents an ideal opportunity to address any structural concerns before installing new materials.
