Flooring Contractors Lakewood Park FL
SPF Industrial has been handling complex flooring projects across Florida since 2020. We’ve removed VCT from Coast Guard facilities, military installations, and municipal buildings throughout the state.
Lakewood Park businesses choose us because we understand the local commercial environment. From the retail centers along US-1 to the industrial facilities near the port, we’ve worked in spaces just like yours. We know that downtime costs money and disruption hurts productivity.
Our team uses professional-grade ride-on scrapers and walk-behind equipment that removes VCT at rates up to 2,500 square feet per hour. That’s not just faster than manual removal—it’s the difference between a project that drags on for weeks and one that’s completed properly in days.
VCT Removal Process Florida
First, we assess your space and create a work plan that minimizes disruption to your operations. We can work after hours, on weekends, or during your slowest business periods.
Next, we set up dust containment barriers and protection for areas that need to stay clean. Our ride-on scrapers remove the vinyl composition tile and most of the underlying adhesive in a single pass. Walk-behind equipment handles edges, corners, and detail work.
Finally, we scrape the remaining adhesive down to bare concrete, sweep and vacuum all debris, and haul everything away. You’re left with a clean subfloor that’s ready for new flooring installation. Most jobs are completed within 24-48 hours, depending on the size and complexity of your space.

Vinyl Composition Tile Removal Services
Complete tile removal using professional-grade equipment designed for commercial spaces. We remove both the vinyl composition tile and the underlying adhesive, leaving you with a clean concrete surface ready for new flooring.
Dust containment and cleanup are included in every job. We protect your workspace and handle all debris removal, so you don’t deal with the mess that typically comes with flooring removal projects.
In Lakewood Park’s commercial environment, timing matters. Many of our local clients need removal work done during off-hours to avoid disrupting customer traffic or employee productivity. We schedule around your business needs, not our convenience. Whether you’re updating a retail space on US-1 or renovating an office complex, we work when it makes sense for your operation.
How long does VCT removal take in a typical commercial space?
Most commercial VCT removal projects in Lakewood Park are completed within 24-48 hours, depending on the square footage and condition of the existing flooring. A 5,000 square foot retail space typically takes one full day with our professional equipment.
The timeline depends on several factors: the age of the VCT (older installations have stronger adhesive bonds), the type of subfloor underneath, and whether we’re working around your business hours. We use ride-on scrapers that can remove up to 2,500 square feet per hour under ideal conditions.
We provide accurate time estimates during our initial assessment. Most clients are surprised at how quickly the process moves compared to manual removal methods or working with contractors who don’t have proper commercial-grade equipment.
Can you remove VCT without disrupting our business operations?
Yes, we regularly work around business schedules throughout Lakewood Park. Many of our commercial clients need removal work done during evenings, weekends, or specific days when they’re closed to customers.
We set up dust containment barriers to isolate work areas from spaces that need to stay operational. Our equipment is designed for efficiency, which means less time, less noise, and less disruption overall compared to traditional removal methods.
For businesses that can’t shut down completely, we can work in phases—removing flooring from one section while other areas remain operational. We’ve handled everything from retail stores that need to stay open for weekend traffic to office buildings where only certain floors can be worked on at a time.
What happens to the adhesive under the VCT tiles?
The adhesive removal is included in our VCT removal service. Most of the adhesive comes up during the tile removal process when we use our ride-on scrapers, but any remaining residue gets scraped down to bare concrete.
Old VCT adhesive (sometimes called cutback or black mastic) can be stubborn, especially in installations that have been in place for decades. We use specialized scraping equipment and techniques to remove it completely without damaging the underlying concrete slab.
Proper adhesive removal is critical for new flooring installation. If adhesive residue is left behind, it can cause bonding problems with new flooring materials. We make sure your subfloor is properly prepared so your new flooring installation goes smoothly and lasts as long as it should.
How much does commercial VCT removal cost in Lakewood Park?
VCT removal pricing typically ranges from $1.00 to $3.00 per square foot, depending on the condition of the existing flooring, the complexity of the job, and timing requirements. Larger projects generally have lower per-square-foot costs.
Factors that affect pricing include: the age and condition of the VCT, whether we’re working during regular business hours or after hours, accessibility of the space, and whether additional services like concrete grinding or patching are needed.
We provide free estimates that include all aspects of the removal process—tile removal, adhesive removal, cleanup, and debris hauling. No hidden costs or surprise charges. Most clients find our pricing competitive compared to other contractors, especially when they factor in the speed and completeness of our service.
Do you handle the debris removal and cleanup after VCT removal?
Yes, complete cleanup and debris removal are included in every VCT removal project. We don’t just remove the flooring and leave you with a mess to deal with.
Our process includes sweeping and vacuuming all loose particles, hauling away all removed materials, and leaving your space clean and ready for the next phase of your project. We bring our own dumpsters and handle all disposal, so you don’t need to arrange for waste removal.
Many contractors in the Lakewood Park area charge extra for cleanup and debris removal, or worse, they leave it for you to handle. We include it because we know that dealing with construction debris isn’t part of your business—it’s part of ours.
Can you remove VCT that’s been in place for decades?
Yes, we specialize in removing old VCT installations, including flooring that’s been in place since the 1980s and 1990s. Older VCT presents unique challenges because the adhesive bond becomes stronger over time, but our professional equipment handles it effectively.
The key is using the right equipment and techniques. Manual removal of decades-old VCT is extremely time-consuming and often leaves adhesive residue that causes problems later. Our ride-on scrapers are specifically designed to handle strong adhesive bonds without damaging the underlying concrete.
We’ve removed VCT from government buildings, schools, and commercial facilities throughout Florida that had flooring installed 20-30 years ago. Age isn’t a barrier when you have the proper equipment and experience to handle challenging removal projects.
