Trusted Flooring Contractors Gladeview
We’ve been serving South Florida since 2020, with government and military clients including the US Coast Guard, Army facilities, and multiple Miami-Dade County projects.
We know Gladeview’s challenges. Many properties here date back to the 1940s-1960s, which often means potential asbestos in the VCT adhesive. We’re licensed, insured, and equipped to handle these situations safely and legally.
Our track record includes high-profile projects like Hard Rock Stadium and Miami International Airport, plus local schools and county facilities throughout the area. When you need flooring removal done right the first time, you’re working with contractors who’ve proven themselves where it counts.
VCT Removal Process Gladeview
First, we assess your project and test for asbestos if your building predates 1980. This isn’t optional—it’s required by law and protects everyone involved. The black cutback adhesive under older VCT often contains asbestos.
Next, we set up proper containment and use specialized equipment to remove tiles and adhesive without creating dust clouds or damaging your concrete. Our tools are designed specifically for this work, not repurposed construction equipment that causes problems.
Finally, we handle all waste disposal according to regulations and leave you with a properly prepared surface. No debris left behind. No shortcuts taken. Your subfloor is ready for whatever comes next, with the surface preparation your new flooring needs to perform correctly.

Complete VCT Removal Services
Your VCT removal includes professional asbestos testing when needed, complete tile and adhesive removal, proper waste disposal, and thorough cleanup. We use advanced dust control equipment to protect your property and surrounding areas.
In Gladeview, we regularly work on older commercial buildings, schools, and residential properties that require special handling. We’re equipped for these challenges with the right tools, proper licensing, and experience with potentially hazardous materials.
We coordinate our work around your schedule too. Need removal done after hours to avoid disrupting your business? Want it completed quickly for a residential renovation? We adapt our timeline to meet your needs without rushing through the job or creating unnecessary delays.
How do I know if my VCT adhesive contains asbestos?
Any VCT installed before 1980 should be tested for asbestos, especially the black cutback adhesive underneath. You can’t determine this just by looking—professional testing is the only way to know for sure.
We handle the testing process as part of our service when needed. The black, tar-like adhesive commonly found under older vinyl composition tile frequently contains asbestos, which is why proper removal protocols are so important for your safety.
If asbestos is present, we follow strict safety procedures including containment, specialized equipment, and legal disposal methods. This protects everyone in the building and ensures you’re compliant with all regulations.
How long does professional VCT removal take?
Most residential projects take 1-2 days, while commercial spaces vary based on square footage and complexity. We can often complete smaller jobs within our standard 24-48 hour turnaround timeframe.
The timeline depends on several factors: whether asbestos testing is needed, the condition and type of adhesive, and how much surface preparation is required for your new flooring. Older, harder cutback adhesive takes longer to remove properly.
We’ll give you an accurate timeline during our initial assessment. We don’t rush the job and compromise quality, but we also don’t drag it out unnecessarily. Our goal is efficient, professional work that gets your project moving forward.
What happens to all the removed VCT and adhesive?
All removed materials are disposed of according to local and federal regulations. If asbestos is present, disposal must follow strict hazardous waste protocols at EPA-approved facilities.
We handle the entire disposal process—you don’t need to worry about finding the right facility or understanding complex disposal requirements. This is included in our service, not charged as an extra.
Our trucks are equipped to remove all debris from your property immediately. You won’t have piles of old flooring sitting around waiting for pickup. We clean up completely and leave your space ready for the next phase.
Will VCT removal damage my concrete subfloor?
Proper removal techniques protect your subfloor, but amateur work can cause significant damage. We use specialized equipment designed specifically for adhesive removal without gouging, cracking, or otherwise damaging your concrete.
Our approach varies based on the adhesive type and age. Some situations require chemical softening, others need mechanical removal with specific tools. We assess each project individually to determine the safest, most effective method.
If your subfloor needs repair after removal, we handle that too. Our experience with concrete restoration means we can address any issues and prepare a smooth, level surface for your new flooring installation.
Can you work around my business operating schedule?
Absolutely. We regularly work evenings, weekends, and off-hours to minimize disruption to your operations. This is especially important for retail locations, restaurants, and other businesses that can’t afford extended closures.
We coordinate our work schedule during the initial consultation. Whether you need us to work in phases, after hours, or during specific windows, we adapt our approach to meet your operational requirements.
Our dust containment and cleanup procedures are designed to keep disruption minimal. We seal work areas and use advanced filtration systems to prevent dust and debris from affecting other parts of your building.
Do you prepare the subfloor for new flooring installation?
Yes, complete subfloor preparation is included in our VCT removal service. We don’t just remove the old flooring—we prepare the surface properly for whatever you’re installing next, whether that’s epoxy, polished concrete, or new tile.
This includes removing all adhesive residue, addressing any concrete imperfections, and ensuring the surface is clean and level. Different new flooring types have different preparation requirements, and we understand these manufacturer specifications.
Our preparation work prevents bonding issues and ensures your new floor performs as expected for years to come. We’ve seen too many beautiful new floors fail because the subfloor wasn’t prepared correctly—we make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
