Every room taken back to the studs and joists, with the structure protected and a clean, open shell left for a full renovation.
A full renovation often begins with a full gut. Walls, ceilings, floors, trim, fixtures and old systems are removed so the house can be rebuilt with new wiring, plumbing, insulation and finishes. It is a large job, and it needs a plan that protects the structure while everything else comes out.
We mark load-bearing walls and structural members with your builder or engineer, set up debris chutes and containment, strip the interior room by room and keep material moving out so the house never fills with rubble. When we finish, you have a clean, open shell with the framing exposed for inspection and the next trades.
Some walls hold up the roof and floors above. We work from your plans or engineer notes and mark what must stay, so a gut renovation never weakens the house.
Plastic containment, dust control and debris chutes keep dust and mess inside the work area and let material leave the house without crossing finished spaces.
Plaster, lath, old insulation, paint and flooring in older houses can contain hazardous materials. We recommend a survey before work begins and follow what it finds.
Framing exposed, nails pulled and the floor swept makes inspection and the next trades easy. A clean shell saves money for everyone who follows.

Project situationRental PropertiesInvestors and landlords need fast, fair, well-documented demolition to turn over, renovate or clear properties.Learn more Pick the project and size to see the debris in cubic yards, the tons and the dumpsters or truckloads to plan for.
You tell us about the project, the timeline and any concerns, and we set a time to visit that fits your day.
We walk the structure and the lot, check access, utilities and likely hazards and take photos and measurements.
We prepare the written scope, coordinate permits, surveys and utility disconnects and set up fencing and dust control.
The work proceeds in a planned order with water on dust and materials sorted for recycling.
Debris is loaded and hauled away on schedule, and the site is swept and kept tidy.
We grade the lot, sweep for nails and debris, take photos and walk the finished work with you.
Most homes take several days to a couple of weeks, depending on size, materials and access. We give a schedule after the walk-through.
Yes. We remove interior finishes and non-structural parts and protect the framing, roof and floors.
Not for plain strip-out, but for walls that might carry load we work from plans or an engineer review.
Not safely. A gut is best done in an empty home, and we can plan the timing around your move.
A lot. We plan dumpsters and hauling in advance and our debris tool can help you estimate it.
