Vinyl floor tile
If a tile pops loose, it lifts out in one piece by hand. Sanders, grinders and chisels stay off the job, even when a stubborn row slows us down.

Vinyl floor tile, sheet vinyl and the adhesive under them can each contain asbestos, and looking at a floor won’t tell you which. A lab result settles it.
When a floor in Maple Grove, Osseo or Corcoran tests positive, we take it up to the subfloor and leave the room ready for the new floor.
Flooring we remove
Sheet vinyl and its backing
In most cases MPCA counts linoleum’s paper backing as friable. That is why sheet vinyl stays wet here from the first cut until each piece is bagged.
Adhesive and mastic
Glue under a floor gets its own sample. It can test differently from the flooring above it, and both results shape the plan.
Covering a sound floor
Laying a new floor over an old one that is still intact is an option MDH accepts. If the old tiles are cracked, curling or broken, though, they can give off fibers, and that changes the plan.
No longer exempt
Since July 1, 2021, flooring in homes counts toward Minnesota’s asbestos work limits, so a floor beyond those limits needs a licensed contractor.
Planning a floor removal
A few details on your end help a floor job go smoothly, from the first sample to the last sealed bag.
Stacked floors
A kitchen or bath may hide more than one floor stacked on top of another. Each layer gets its own sample, because one can test positive while the next does not.
Finished basements
In a finished basement, move furniture and boxes off the floor before we arrive, so we can tape plastic along the walls.
After removal
Once the old floor is up, we point out any soft or water-stained subfloor so your installer can plan for it.
