Interior demolition,
down to the studs.

The clean way to gut a room.

Interior demolition is the first real step in most remodels, and doing it right protects the parts of the house you are keeping. We take out drywall, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, and non-load-bearing walls, then haul everything off so your contractor walks into a clean shell. We tape off dust zones, protect the floors and finishes you want to keep, and run the debris to the Recycling & Disposal Services transfer station so it never piles up in your yard.

If your home was built before 1980, we schedule the required asbestos and lead survey before anything comes down. Old floor tile, popcorn ceilings, and pipe wrap are common places regulated material hides in Whatcom County homes, and we never knowingly disturb it. When a survey is clear, we move fast; when it is not, we coordinate certified abatement first.

What it actually costs.

Our process.

1. Free on-site walkthrough

   We look at the space, flag anything that needs an asbestos or lead survey, and give you a clear written quote, usually the same day.

2. Survey & protection

   On pre-1980 homes we schedule the required survey, then mask off dust zones and protect the floors, stairs, and finishes you are keeping.

3. Selective tear-out

   We remove drywall, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, and non-load-bearing walls in order, keeping the structure and your kept surfaces intact.

4. Haul-away & broom-clean

   We load and haul every bit of debris to the transfer station and leave the space broom-clean and ready for your contractor.

• Asbestos and lead survey coordinated on pre-1980 homes

Frequently asked questions.

How much does interior demolition cost in Bellingham?

A typical kitchen or bath gut runs $2,000 to $7,500 in Bellingham, depending on the scope, how many walls come out, and disposal volume. Whole-floor gut-outs cost more. Any required asbestos or lead survey on a pre-1980 home is quoted separately because it is regulated work. We give you a free written quote first.

Do I need an asbestos survey before a gut-out?

If your home was built before 1980, Washington law and the Northwest Clean Air Agency require an asbestos survey by a certified inspector before demolition or renovation that disturbs material. We build that into the plan and coordinate it for you. We never knowingly disturb regulated material.

Will you protect the parts of my house I am keeping?

Yes. For gut jobs we protect the structure, the floors and stairs you are keeping, and the neighbor's property. Selective demo is careful work, not just swinging a hammer.
