We have a 14 year old home, and we decided to replace our back entrance lino with tile. We picked out the tile, booked the tile installer, and my job was to remove the lino. I am a pretty handy guy and I removed the lino off the subfloor without much difficulty. However, I also needed to remove the thin layer of what is called K3 subfloor that the builder put under the lino (it is basically particle board) so that our new tile would be at the same height as the existing hardwood. This is where I ran into big problems. It took me about an hour to remove 1 sq. foot of this K3 with my tools. With 150 sq ft, I wasn't gonna spend that kind of time removing subfloor. I looked on HomeStars and found Enviro Surface Removers. I phoned Blair and he said he could come the following week. What a lifesaver! His crew was professional, on time, detailed, and did exactly what they promised. (Thank you also to HomeStars). I have included some photos. For whatever reason, the amount of glue that the builder used on the K3 was totally nuts. It took Blair and his team take almost all day, but they got it removed. The tile installer came a few days later and said he'd never seen such a nicely prepped floor. I totally recommend Enviro Surface Removers and will in fact get them back when we do the same thing in our bathrooms. Thanks again Enviro Surface Removers!

Thanks for taking the time to give us a review of our work Fred. We are glad you you were pleased with the results. You had a tougher than average job due to the amount of excess glue used by the builder but it all worked out in the end. It was a pleasure working for you and we hope to work for you again in the future. ~Blair
