Professional Tear-Out & Subfloor Prep for Lasting Results
Starting fresh with new floors begins with removing what’s already there. Rushing removal can damage subfloors, create uneven surfaces or leave moisture issues unaddressed. Replacing worn carpet, outdated tile or damaged hardwood? The quality of your tear-out and prep work directly impact how your flooring performs.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- Complete old flooring removal with careful subfloor protection
- Thorough subfloor inspection, leveling and moisture mitigation
- Professional disposal and site cleanup
Removing old flooring materials in coastal homes isn’t as simple as pulling up old materials. Sand accumulation, concrete slab considerations, moisture barriers and humidity exposure all have to be accounted for. Cutting corners can result in buckling, gaps or premature flooring failure. Let the Savi Flooring & Tile team take care of everything. From initial tear-out to final subfloor preparation, we make sure your space is ready for beautiful, long-lasting flooring.

Floor Removal Services We Offer Along the Emerald Coast
Comprehensive flooring removal and subfloor prep services are available in Santa Rosa Beach, FL, and across several 30A communities. We are thorough, professional and set your new flooring up for success. We offer the following flooring removal services:
Carpet Removal
Removing old carpet has more steps than you think. Alongside removing the carpet itself, you have to remove padding, tack strips and stubborn adhesive.
Tile Removal
Tile flooring removal is labor-intensive and requires precision to avoid damaging the subfloor. Our team removes ceramic, porcelain, natural stone and mosaic tiles alongside mortar and thinset. We also take care around transitions, edges and fixtures to prevent collateral damage.
Hardwood Flooring Removal
Is your hardwood flooring nailed, stapled or glued down? We can remove it without compromising your subfloor. Solid hardwood, engineered wood and wide-plank flooring are all carefully extracted. We also address any finish, adhesive or fastener remnants left behind.
Vinyl Flooring Removal
Old sheet vinyl, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and luxury vinyl tile (LVT) often involve removing strong adhesives. We take care of everything. From peel-and-stick products to fully glued installations, we address any adhesive residue before new flooring goes down.

EXCELLENT Based on 51 reviews Posted on Michelle Perry BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lexi was absolutely amazing to work with. She helped us select the perfect tiles for our bathroom and laundry room, and somehow made the entire process feel easy—even during a holiday renovation with toddlers at home. She was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly organized, helping us coordinate timing and deliveries so everything stayed on track. Her eye for design and understanding of real-life logistics made such a difference. Highly recommend Lexi to anyone starting a renovation!Posted on Kelly KnightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I absolutely love this tile store. They have an unbelievable selection of tile that will not disappoint. The staff is exceptionally helpful and great with follow up and communication. Lexi is an absolute pleas to work with! I highly recommend this business!Posted on Sarah ValcarcelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I worked with Lexi at Savi and I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about her. When I first stopped in, I was only planning to choose tile for a couple of bathrooms in our renovation. After such a great experience with Lexi, we ended up doing all of the flooring on our main level, plus our kitchen backsplash, and I’m already planning to go back soon for walk-in pantry tile. Lexi made the entire process so easy. I told her the style of our home and the color palette we were going for and showed a few inspiration photos. She immediately pulled several thoughtful options for each space, and we narrowed things down room by room together. Her design eye and product knowledge are incredible. I also loved being able to bring samples home, and she even came by to give her opinion on our wood flooring choices when everything started looking too similar to my eyes. That made such a difference. The installation team was also wonderful. Our hardwood floors turned out absolutely beautiful and the crew went above and beyond. Lexi truly made this renovation experience special. I don’t think it would have turned out the same without her guidance and support. 12/10 recommend. Already planning my next project and will be back again soon!Posted on Lee HensleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great experience working with Savi and Lexi who helped to oversee the project! We couldn’t be happier with the outcome!Posted on Lisa D'AndreaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently renovated two bathrooms with beautiful porcelain marble tiles purchased from Savi Flooring & Tile. Lexi was our sales representative and she was very attentive to our needs and helpful in choosing the best products for our project. We highly recommend both Lexi and Savi Flooring & Tile!Posted on DFPTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went into Savi to “check things out” not really excepting to take action. The Savi team took a dream in our heads and helped make it a reality. They also saved the day when we hit a snag during installation. Check them out for your next project!Posted on Nicole EverettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An impromptu visit to SAVI Flooring and Tile last spring was the best decision! Our design consultant Lexi gave us expert advice in choosing the best wood flooring, bath and kitchen tiling for our new home style. She provided exceptional service during the entire process, from selection to installation, and was a key reason we chose SAVI for our flooring and tile needs. We are thrilled with the quality and value of the products and how well they enhance our home’s design, and gladly recommend their services.Posted on Gene DreselTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I live out of state and have a rental in the Watersound West subdivision. We needed carpet laid but didn't have the flexibility in our schedule to make the trip to FL to coordinate choosing or the installation of the carpet. Lexi was my goto person at Savi. She made choosing and working through the installation easy. We are very grateful for everyone at Savi that had a part to play in our transaction.Posted on Mackenzie CappsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had nothing but a wonderful experience with Savi Flooring & Tile! Working with Lexi has been absolutely amazing—she’s been an invaluable part of our renovation journey. She helped us select the most beautiful flooring for our home and guided us through choosing the perfect tile for our son’s bathroom. The selections at Savi are exceptional, and the showroom is stunning. Lexi truly goes above and beyond. She is warm, accommodating, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. We’re so excited to continue working with her as we move forward with more renovations. Thank you, Savi, and thank you, Lexi—you’re simply the best!Posted on Kelsey StroopTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Savi, and especially Lexi, was such a great experience. Not only do they have great products, but they provide excellent customer service. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing tile & flooring!
