VCT Removal


I am bidding on a commercial deal that involves removal as well as installation of VCT. I'm not sure what to charge for removing old vct(not asbestos)

Then you shouldn't be bidding the job and attempting to take work from legitimate flooring contractors.

You lack the experience necessary to facilitate the endeavor in which your query is referenced to. Go away now.

Oh and learn how to ****ing search.

Re: VCT Removal


Guestimate how long it will take you, and charge your typical hourly prep rate.

If it's down with cut back - wear old shoes and old knee pads - you'll get them tar'ed up and stain the new floor.

If it's down with clear thin spread - buy or rent a powered floor scraper. I own the Sinclair duro model... $1500.00 and it's paid for itself a dozen times.

Those alligator trash bags work well - hold about 25 lbs without tearing.

A flat shovel would be useful.

Enjoy yourself. Pulling up VCT suxors without an iPod.

Depending how much flooring you are removing it can be any where from
******xx per square foot.

Re: VCT Removal


Doug, most posts we get asking labor prices are from homeowners trolling. This is a pro forum. There is a DIY forum for those people.

Re: VCT Removal


They used to use this black asbestos based cutback glue that was outlawed in 1976. Beware, use masks, gloves, use the eco-friendly removal stripper sold a CNC wholesale, and charge extra.
If you are going to install another flooring like wood some moisture barrier & glue will not stick to the concrete sub-floor if the old cut-back is not removed.
