Clean Sweep Finish
Once the carpet and padding are removed, we don’t leave you with a dusty mess. Our crew sweeps and clears the area, collecting any leftover debris like carpet fibers, dust, or tack strip fragments. We make sure corners, edges, and entry points are clean so you can immediately move forward with your next step—whether it’s installing new flooring, painting, or simply enjoying the cleared space. With Kraken Junk Removal, it’s not just about removal—it’s about leaving your El Cajon home tidy, refreshed, and ready for what’s next. A clean finish is part of every job we do.
