What customers say
What does carpet removal in Metro Detroit involve?
From a single room being redone to a whole house of wall-to-wall carpet pulled ahead of new flooring, carpet removal in Metro Detroit and Ann Arbor is priced by Veteran Junk Removal according to how much of the truck the carpet and padding take up, with the crew confirming that total before loading.
More about carpet removal
Carpet already pulled up and rolled is the easiest load to price, but the crew can also do the pulling: prying up carpet, peeling out the padding, and pulling the tack strips and staples left in the floor underneath. Tell us which part of the job is done and which part isn't when you book.
Carpet or padding that turns out to have asbestos backing, which shows up in some older flooring, is not something we can take on the truck; that goes to a licensed abatement specialist instead. Ordinary wall-to-wall carpet, pad, and area rugs are all fine to load, wet or dry.
Book online or call and pick one of four two-hour windows: 9 to 11, 11 to 1, 1 to 3, or 3 to 5. Same-day and next-day pickups are often available when the schedule allows, and the route covers Taylor, Metro Detroit, and Ann Arbor daily, 8am to 8pm.

Priced by truck space, not by the hour
The crew looks at the actual load, gives you one firm number, and you approve it before the first item is lifted. Access and any dismantling are already in that number rather than added at the end.
What you get
on the day
These are the rules the crew follows on every pickup, so you know what to expect before anything is loaded.
Pulling included when you need it
If the carpet is still down, the crew can pull it, along with the padding and the tack strips, as part of the same job.
Priced by truck space
A single rug and a house full of wall-to-wall carpet are priced the same way: by how much room the load takes up.
Confirmed before loading
The crew gives you one total after seeing the carpet and the padding, and you approve it before anything is rolled up.
Labor and disposal included
One number covers the pulling, the hauling, and the disposal, with nothing added once the load is on the truck.
How a carpet removal job runs
Four steps from the first call to a swept-clean space, with the price agreed before anything is lifted.
Tell us the scope
Give us a room count and let us know whether the carpet still needs to be pulled or if it's already rolled up, so the crew can plan the job and give a starting number.
Pick your arrival window
Get your booking in online or by phone and choose a two-hour block. Same-day and next-day openings show up on the route when there's room.
Crew confirms the total, then gets to work
On site, the crew looks at the carpet, the padding, and whether pulling is needed, confirms one total, and starts once you approve it.
Pull, roll, and haul away
The crew pulls and rolls the carpet if that part isn't finished, then loads it. Carpet goes to donation or recycling whenever possible, where local facilities accept it, and the rest goes to disposal.
