What you may be worried about

When demolition feels like the riskiest part of your renovation

Most homeowners and property managers are less worried about putting new finishes in and more worried about what will go wrong when walls and floors come out.

Hidden wiring, plumbing, or hazards

Old electrical, surprise plumbing lines, or possible asbestos in old materials can stop a project cold if no one planned for them.

Dust and debris in the rest of the home

Without proper containment, fine dust ends up in bedrooms, offices, and vents, and debris piles linger longer than promised.

Damage to things you wanted to keep

Floors, cabinets, trim, or adjacent rooms can be chipped, scratched, or cracked when demolition is not controlled.

Disposal headaches and neighbor issues

Bins, parking conflicts, and noise at the wrong times can frustrate neighbors, tenants, and building managers.

Our fix: Clear demo boundaries, careful protection, and planned haul routes so what needs to go leaves the property and what needs to stay is still in one piece when we are done.

We treat demolition as its own scoped phase. That means planning utilities, containment, disposal, and salvage up front so the site you get back is safe, clean, and ready for the next stage.

What to expect

How we demolish without turning your project into chaos

We plan demolition like a build. That means attention to utilities, safety, neighbors, and what the next trade needs from us.

  1. Step 1
    1

    Walkthrough and planning

    We review drawings or goals, identify what stays and what goes, locate shutoffs, and decide where debris will exit and bins will sit.

  2. Step 2
    2

    Protection and shutoffs

    We protect floors and walls in access paths, set up containment where needed, and coordinate utility shutoffs for safe demolition.

  3. Step 3

    Targeted demolition and sorting

    We remove finishes, fixtures, and framing according to the plan, salvaging anything you want to keep and separating debris for proper disposal.

  4. Step 4

    Haul out and ready for rebuild

    We load and remove debris, cap or mark utilities, sweep and tidy the area, and walk it with you or your contractor so everyone knows what is ready next.

Working in a condo, duplex, or small lot. We can tailor bin sizes, timing, and routes so demolition fits your property and neighbors.

Scope and method choices

Demolition options that change cost, disruption, and what is possible next

We help you choose the right level of demolition so you only remove what you need to and keep what still works.

During your consult we look at your renovation goals, the age of the structure, and whether the space is occupied. Then we recommend selective, partial, or full gut demolition with the right level of hazard awareness.

  • Occupied homes and partial projects

    Selective interior demolition

    When this is best

    Best when you are opening parts of a kitchen, bath, or room but living in the rest of the home.

    Key details

    • Zone by zone sequencing so not everything is open at once
    • Dust and noise control to protect occupied areas
    • Careful removal of fixtures, cabinets, or doors you want to reuse
  • Reset and rebuild

    Full gut back to framing

    When this is best

    Right when you need to fix layout, wiring, insulation, or plumbing issues at the same time.

    Key details

    • Utility planning and permit support where needed
    • Bulk removal of finishes, fixtures, and non structural partitions
    • Surface prep that leaves a clean base for framing and trades
  • Safety focus

    Hazard aware demolition

    When this is best

    Important in older homes or buildings where lead paint, asbestos, or mold may be present.

    Key details

    • Visual checks and, when appropriate, testing before removal
    • Coordination with licensed abatement partners if hazards are confirmed
    • Work resuming only when it is safe for you, neighbors, and crew

What interior demolition typically costs in Toronto

Demolition pricing depends on what you are removing, what you need to keep, and how we can access the site. These ranges give you a starting point.

Smaller scopes

Single room or small area

For kitchens, baths, or single rooms where we are removing finishes, non structural partitions, and fixtures.

$1,200 - $4,500
  • Site protection and basic containment
  • Removal of finishes and non structural elements in the defined area
  • Loading and disposal of typical construction debris
  • End of day cleanup and final sweep at completion

Hazard abatement, specialty finishes, or tight access can add extra cost.

Most projects

Multi room or floor zone

For larger interior renovations where several rooms or a floor zone need to be opened up in a controlled way.

$4,500 - $15,000
  • Detailed demolition plan and sequencing
  • Protection of key finishes and occupied areas
  • Multiple bin loads and organized haul out
  • Coordination with your builder or designer on what stays and goes

Extensive structural work, major hazard mitigation, or very restricted access are costed separately.

Larger and complex scopes

Whole home or commercial interior gut

For full interior strip outs or complex spaces that need more planning, hazard awareness, and staging.

$15,000+
  • Phased demolition and protection that fit building rules
  • Bin and haul planning for significant debris volumes
  • Close coordination with inspections and base building requirements
  • Turnover that is ready for framing, trades, and rebuild crews

Engineering oversight, major structural changes, and licensed abatement are scoped with partners.

What every itemized quote includes

  • You receive a written demolition scope that lists what will be removed, what will stay, and how debris will be handled.
  • Protection, basic cleanup, and debris removal are included in our pricing.
  • If we uncover unexpected conditions, we stop and explain options and costs before you decide how to proceed.

Quotes are fully itemized with allowances, contingency, and requested add-ons itemized for clarity. No hidden feesever.

What moves pricing

What changes the cost of demolition

We talk through these points during your consult so you understand why one demolition plan costs more or less than another.

Hidden conditions and hazards

Old wiring, plumbing reroutes, or potential asbestos and lead can require extra time, testing, or specialist partners.

How much material must come out

Removing a few walls and finishes is very different from stripping an entire floor back to framing.

Access and disposal logistics

Tight stairwells, limited parking, or bin restrictions can change how quickly we can move debris off site.

Occupancy and noise limits

Working in occupied homes or multi unit buildings often means shorter work windows and more phases.

Coordination with other trades

Demolition that must integrate with a busy renovation schedule can add time to planning and on site coordination.

Before any work starts, you will know which of these factors applies and how we plan to manage it.

Guarantees that keep demolition safe and controlled

You want what needs to be removed gone, not damage to what you are trying to protect. Our guarantees are designed around that line.

Clear boundaries for what stays and what goes

We mark and confirm walls, fixtures, and finishes that must stay so there is no confusion once tools are running.

Protection for access routes and adjacent rooms

Floors, stairs, and doorways get protection and we use containment so dust and debris stay where work is happening.

Planned utility shutoffs and safety checks

We confirm electrical, water, and gas shutoffs before demolition in any area and cap or mark what needs attention later.

Single point of contact during demo

You have one person to speak with about schedule, noise, debris bins, and coordination with neighbors or building management.

Warranty on preparatory work and documentation

We stand behind the demolition and preparation work we perform and leave notes and photos so your next trades know what they are walking into.

The goal is not only to tear things out, but to hand back a site that feels safe, tidy, and truly ready for the next stage of your project.

Living space cleared and covered before demolition begins

Preparation

How to prep your home or site for demolition

A little preparation on your side keeps the work moving and protects the items that matter most to you.

  • Remove valuables, art, and personal items from demolition zones and nearby rooms.
  • Identify any fixtures, doors, or materials you want salvaged or donated.
  • Confirm where crews should park, where bins can go, and how we will access the space.
  • Share any information you have about previous renovations, known hazards, or unusual conditions.
  • Let neighbors or building management know about the planned schedule and noise windows where appropriate.

When demolition should wait

Sometimes taking a little extra time before demolition protects both your budget and the rest of the project.

Unclear renovation plan

What usually happens

If there is no clear plan for what comes after demolition, work can stall and you may remove more than you need.
Our fix
We suggest aligning with your designer or contractor first, or using a short planning phase with us to define what really needs to go.

Suspected but untested hazards

What usually happens

Starting demolition where there may be asbestos, lead, or significant mold can risk health and add cost later.
Our fix
We recommend testing and, if needed, licensed abatement before demolition so the site is safe for everyone.

No agreement on access or noise windows

What usually happens

In multi unit buildings, starting without clear rules around bins, elevators, and noise can cause conflicts and slow the project.
Our fix
We help you coordinate with building management and neighbors first so expectations are set before demolition begins.

Demolition questions homeowners and property managers ask most

Straight answers about safety, dust, permits, and what happens to debris.

1
Do I need permits for demolition
For structural changes, multi unit buildings, or certain municipalities, permits may be required. We can advise based on your scope and help coordinate with your designer or engineer.
2
How do you control dust and debris
We use protection for floors and access routes, containment where needed, and daily cleanup so dust and debris stay in the work area as much as possible.
3
Can you save materials for reuse or donation
Yes. If you want to keep doors, cabinets, fixtures, or other items, we plan careful removal and set them aside or help arrange donation.
4
What happens to all the debris
We sort and load debris into appropriate bins, follow local rules for recycling and disposal, and remove bins promptly when the work is complete.
5
Will utilities be affected during demolition
We review which utilities need to be shut off and when, then plan with you to minimize disruption to the rest of the home or building.

I have used Mike not once but twice. It is not very often that you get commitment, quality, hard work, professionalism, and cost effectiveness in one package. He has done two bathrooms, pantry closet, and backyard shed and his perfection is commendable. He is my go to guy for any kind of work.

Found them on Kijiji and from the start they were professional. They arrived when they said they would and did great work, asking questions about all the right stuff. This was an office demo and I could not be happier.
