A carpet removal apparatus for removing carpet adhered to a floor provides a spool having an attachment member adapted to attach a portion of a carpet to be removed to the spool member. The spool member is rotated over the upper surface of the carpet about the axis of the spool member to wind the carpet onto the spool member and tear the carpet from the floor. The spool member is typically rotated using a motor supported by a frame rotatably attached to the spool member. A power transmission member transmits the power and rotation from the motor to the spool member, slowing the rotation and increasing the power. An alternative, manual spool member uses a pair of rotating handles, one attached to each end of the spool member. The rotating handles are used as levers to force the rotation of the spool member and, thereby, wind the carpet onto the spool member, ripping the carpet from the floor.
