Floor Removal & Demo in Matthews, MO
Every new floor starts with getting the old one out properly. It is the least glamorous part of the job and the part that most determines whether the new floor performs, because a new surface is only ever as good as what it is sitting on. We take out carpet, pad, tack strip, glued vinyl, laminate and stubborn adhesive, deal with what we find underneath, and haul it all away. It is included in what we quote rather than appearing as a surprise once the furniture has been moved. Installed by our own crew across Matthews.

Built for Matthews homes.
Matthews is the smallest place we serve — 534 people in New Madrid County, with I-55 forming part of its eastern boundary and US-61 and 62 close by. It has had a post office since 1903 and is named for C. D. Matthews, a pioneer citizen. It sits directly between Sikeston and New Madrid, which makes it one of the easiest calls on our list to get to and one of the quickest to schedule.
Matthews had 534 residents at the 2020 census, down about 15 per cent from 2010, across just under two square miles in New Madrid County. Interstate 55 forms part of the eastern boundary, and US Routes 61 and 62 run nearby, connecting the village north to Sikeston and south to New Madrid.
Being a few minutes off I-55 between our showroom and New Madrid means scheduling here is genuinely easy. A measure can usually happen the same week, and because we pass through regularly we can drop a second sample by without making a special trip of it.
The housing is small-village stock on flat Bootheel ground: mostly single storey, mostly modest, and generally without stairs or level changes to complicate a job. That tends to make for clean, fast installs — one or two days for a typical run of rooms rather than a week.
The flat ground is the thing to watch. Fine alluvial soils across this part of the state hold moisture and settle unevenly, so even in a straightforward single-storey house we check the subfloor for flat and for moisture before recommending a click-lock plank. It is a five-minute check that prevents the most expensive kind of callback.

Floor Removal & Demo in Matthews, questions
How soon could you get to us in Matthews?
Usually quickly. Matthews sits right between our Sikeston showroom and New Madrid, so we pass through often and a measure can normally be arranged within the week. Call 573-471-8700.
How long does a typical install take here?
Most houses in Matthews are single storey with no stairs, so a normal run of rooms is often one or two days once the material is in. We will give you a realistic window at the estimate rather than a best case.
Is removal included in the price?
It is quoted as part of the job so you can see it, rather than being discovered afterwards. Lifting carpet is straightforward; tile and glued-down vinyl take considerably longer and are priced accordingly. Either way the figure is in the written estimate.
Can you just lay the new floor over the old one?
Sometimes, if what is down is sound, flat, dry and there is only one layer of it. Often the honest answer is no, because layering raises the floor height and you inherit every fault underneath. We will tell you which situation you are in.
Do you take the old flooring away?
Yes, all of it. Removal and haul-away are part of the job. You are not left with a pile of old carpet and tack strip to deal with.
What if you find rot or a soft spot underneath?
We stop and show you before we cover it. Soft or water-damaged subfloor gets cut out and replaced, and we will price that as an addition rather than quietly floor over it — covering it up only means dealing with it again later, at greater cost.
