Ready for new flooring? First, the old floor has to go. Volcano Power Inc. provides residential and commercial floor removal throughout Rockford and surrounding Northern Illinois communities.
START WITH A CLEAN SLATE
New flooring can completely change a space, but there's usually some work standing—or sitting—between the old floor and the finished project.
Volcano Power Inc. provides floor removal services for homeowners, businesses, landlords, property managers and renovation projects throughout the Rockford area.
Whether you're remodeling a home, updating a commercial property or preparing an existing surface for the next phase of work, we'll start by understanding what's currently installed and what needs to be removed.
Owner Ruben Porras brings 12 years of hands-on industry experience across hundreds of projects to Volcano Power Inc.
The right removal approach depends on the existing flooring, underlying surface, property and plans for the space.

Updating your home often begins from the ground up.
Volcano Power Inc. works with homeowners who need existing flooring removed as part of remodeling, replacement and property improvement projects.

WHAT NEEDS TO COME UP?
Different flooring materials require different amounts of labor and different removal methods.
The existing flooring, how it was installed, what's underneath it and the total area involved can all affect the scope of a floor removal project.
Before work begins, tell us what type of flooring you have—or send us photographs if you aren't sure.
Tile Flooring
Existing tile can require significant removal work before a new surface or flooring system can be installed.
Vinyl & Resilient Flooring
Older and newer resilient flooring materials can have different installation methods and removal considerations.
Carpet & Existing Floor Coverings
Removing existing floor coverings can help prepare residential and commercial spaces for remodeling and replacement.
Other Flooring Materials
Not sure exactly what you're dealing with? Send us photographs and information about the property. We'll discuss whether the flooring falls within the work Volcano Power Inc. performs.
OLDER PROPERTY? KNOW BEFORE YOU REMOVE
Flooring isn't always as simple as pulling it up and throwing it away.
Some older flooring materials, adhesives and surrounding building materials can present concerns that should be identified before they're disturbed.
Owner Ruben Porras brings professional experience that includes asbestos-related licensing and lead-worker qualifications. That background provides additional knowledge when evaluating certain older properties and removal projects.
The age of a building alone doesn't tell us what materials are present. If questionable materials are encountered or suspected, the appropriate identification, testing or regulated procedures may need to occur before removal proceeds.
PART OF A BIGGER PROJECT?
Sometimes the flooring isn't the only thing coming out.
Volcano Power Inc. also provides demolition and other removal services for qualifying residential and commercial projects.
If you're preparing a property for broader renovation, tell us the entire scope rather than limiting your inquiry to the floor. We can discuss which portions of the project fall within our services.
START YOUR PROJECT
Tell us what type of flooring needs to be removed, approximately how much there is and where the property is located. Photos are helpful.
We'll discuss the flooring, property and project requirements to determine the scope of the removal work.
Once the project details and pricing are established, we'll coordinate the work so you can move forward with the next phase of your property.
COMMERCIAL PROJECTS
Replacing flooring in a commercial property can be a much different project than changing the flooring in a single room at home.
Square footage, existing materials, accessibility and the property's intended use can all influence the removal process.
Volcano Power Inc. works with qualifying commercial customers throughout the Rockford area, including businesses, property owners, landlords and property managers.
Tell us about the existing flooring, approximate square footage and what you're planning for the space.
