"Aquila handled 2,400 sq ft of white oak in our remodel. The seams are invisible, the transitions are perfect, and they left our house cleaner than they found it."

Floor Demolition
Old flooring out — cleanly, quietly, completely.
Professional floor demolition across the greater Austin area. Carpet, tile, hardwood, and vinyl removed with dust containment, full haul-away, and a thorough subfloor inspection. Bundled with installation or available as a standalone service.
Benefits
Why this floor, why us.
- Dust contained, not ignored
- Plastic sealing, HEPA-equipped vacuums, and negative-air setups when needed. The rest of your home stays clean.
- Subfloor exposed & inspected
- We don't just tear out — we expose the subfloor, photograph any issues, and review findings with you before installation begins.
- Tack strips, staples, glue removed
- Many crews leave these behind. We don't. The subfloor is left bare, smooth, and ready for the next floor.
- Full haul-away included
- No pile in your driveway. We bag, load, and dispose of every scrap — included in the estimate.
- Asbestos-aware
- Pre-1985 homes may have asbestos-containing flooring. We recommend testing before demo and won't touch suspect material until cleared.
- Coordinated with install
- Demo and install scheduled back-to-back so you're not living on bare subfloor for days.
