No over-demolition, no unnecessary damage—just focused work that respects your home’s structure and layout.
Interior Demolition for Home Remodeling Projects
When a home is being remodeled, demolition needs to be performed with care. We strip out old materials like cabinetry, tile, drywall, and non-load-bearing walls without disrupting the surrounding structure. Our crew works methodically to remove what’s needed while keeping the rest of the home intact and ready for its transformation.
Typical Interior Demo Work Includes:
Cabinet and Countertop Removal
Kitchens and bathrooms often need a full reset. We remove built-ins, counters, and base units while protecting nearby walls and flooring.
Flooring Tear-Out
We remove old flooring materials like tile, laminate, carpet, and subfloor when necessary—ensuring a clean surface for new installation.
Wall Surface Stripping
Drywall, paneling, wallpaper, and wall tile are carefully torn down with debris contained and cleared efficiently.
Non-Structural Wall Removal and Openings
Changing the layout of a room often involves removing interior walls. We take down non-load-bearing partitions to open up floor plans or prepare for new construction, carefully avoiding damage to adjacent rooms or ceiling supports.
Examples of Wall Removal Services:
Partial Wall Demolition
When you're creating a pass-through or expanding a doorway, we open up select sections of walls without disturbing electrical or framing unnecessarily.
Full Interior Wall Removal
We demolish full partitions between rooms when confirmed non-structural, and cleanly cap off utility lines when present.
Stud and Drywall Strip-Out
We remove framing and drywall down to the studs when complete reconstruction is required, leaving a clean shell for rebuild work.
Fixture, Tile, and Surface Tear-Out
Old fixtures, wall tile, and decorative finishes often need to be removed before new materials can go in. These materials are typically stubborn and time-consuming for homeowners to handle alone. We remove them with the right tools and experience, reducing damage to underlying surfaces and minimizing mess.
What We Remove During Finish Demo:
Shower and Tub Surrounds
We cut and extract tile surrounds, panels, and mortar without compromising plumbing connections that will remain in place.
Backsplashes and Counter Tile
Tile from kitchen backsplashes and countertops is removed without unnecessary breakage to nearby cabinets or surfaces.
Vanity, Toilet, and Sink Removal
We disconnect and haul away fixtures to prep bathrooms for rebuild, taking care to avoid pipe damage or water issues.
Debris Removal and Jobsite Prep
Demolition creates a lot of material waste—dust, splinters, chunks of drywall, nails, and sharp scraps. We include jobsite cleanup as part of our demolition process so the space is clear, safe, and ready for whatever work follows. We leave no piles behind and dispose of materials in compliance with local guidelines.
Debris Handling Steps:
Separation of Waste Types
Where appropriate, we separate clean wood, metal, and drywall for proper recycling or landfill sorting.
Onsite Containment
We protect floors and adjoining rooms from dust and debris during active demo, using barriers and runners where needed.
End-of-Day Sweeping and Haul-Off
Before leaving the site, we sweep up loose debris and remove heavy materials, loading them into appropriate disposal bins or trailers.
Selective Demolition That Respects Your Home
Fix It & List It doesn’t swing sledgehammers at everything—we focus on selective residential demolition that supports remodeling, repairs, and upgrades. Our demolition services are careful, measured, and designed to help move projects forward—not create new ones.
We don’t take on large-scale structural demolition or commercial jobs. Instead, we specialize in the type of teardown work that homeowners need before they install new flooring, upgrade bathrooms, rework kitchens, or open up living spaces. Every cut, pull, and lift is done with attention to safety and structural limits, so you get a clean slate—nothing more, nothing less.
