Interior Demolition Services Across Seattle
Interior demolition is different than tearing down entire buildings. It requires precision. You're keeping the structure and removing specific elements inside. Walls come out but load-bearing columns stay. Old kitchens get stripped but plumbing lines stay capped and ready. Floors get torn up but the foundation underneath stays intact.
Walls Come Out
Load-bearing columns stay protected and intact
Kitchens Get Stripped
Plumbing lines stay capped and ready for new fixtures
Floors Get Torn Up
Foundation underneath stays intact and undamaged
We Handle Interior Demolition For:
Our crew knows how to work inside occupied buildings, protect finished areas nearby, and strip spaces efficiently without damaging what you're keeping.
Residential Interior Demolition and Home Gutting
Renovating your house means removing what's there before building something new. We gut kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces, basements, and entire homes for homeowners and contractors preparing for major remodels.
Kitchen Demolition
Kitchen demolition involves removing cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring, backsplashes, and sometimes walls when you're opening up the space. We disconnect plumbing and electrical safely, cap lines properly, and haul away all debris. What's left is bare walls and subfloor ready for your contractor to start fresh.
Bathroom Demolition
Bathroom demolition means removing vanities, toilets, tubs, showers, tile work, and flooring. Bathrooms are tight spaces with lots of plumbing and electrical packed into small areas. We work carefully to disconnect everything properly and avoid damaging pipes and wiring hidden in walls.
Full Home Renovations
For full home renovations, we strip entire interiors down to studs. Walls, ceilings, flooring, trim, fixtures, everything comes out. You're left with the structural shell and a blank canvas for redesigning the layout and rebuilding from scratch.
Wall Removal and Selective Demolition
Opening up your floor plan means removing walls. But not every wall can come out. Load-bearing walls support the structure above and require engineered solutions. Non-load-bearing partition walls can be removed without additional support.
Load-Bearing Walls
Support the structure above and require engineered solutions. We coordinate with engineers and framers to install temporary supports, remove the wall, and install beams that carry the load permanently.
Non-Load-Bearing Walls
Simple partition walls that can be removed without additional support. We tear it out, remove debris, and clean up so framing can start.
Our Wall Removal Process
We work from your plans or your contractor's directions to remove walls safely. If it's load-bearing, we coordinate with engineers and framers to install temporary supports, remove the wall, and install beams that carry the load permanently. If it's a simple partition, we tear it out, remove debris, and clean up so framing can start.
Beyond Wall Removal
Selective demolition extends beyond walls. Maybe you're keeping the kitchen layout but replacing cabinets and counters. Or you're renovating one bathroom while leaving others untouched. Or you're removing carpet and tile in some rooms but not all.
We remove exactly what you want gone and protect everything else.
Commercial Interior Demolition for Tenant Build-Outs
Commercial spaces change tenants constantly. Each new tenant needs the space configured differently. That means demolishing the previous tenant's build-out and stripping the space for the next one.
We handle tenant build-out demolitions for office buildings, retail centers, restaurants, and commercial properties throughout Seattle. We remove:
Partition Walls
Drop Ceilings
Flooring
Fixtures
Millwork
HVAC Units
Electrical Panels
Wiring
Retail Space Demolition
Retail spaces contain display fixtures, dressing rooms, checkout counters, specialized lighting, and custom finishes. We've stripped out dozens of retail locations and know how to remove everything efficiently.
Restaurant Demolition

Retail and restaurant demolitions have unique requirements. We've stripped out dozens of both and we know how to remove everything efficiently.

What We Remove
The End Result
We strip out carpet and tile, remove drop ceilings and light fixtures, and clear everything so the space is ready for the next layout. You're left with a clean, open space ready for your new office design and construction to begin.
Working in Occupied Buildings
If other floors or suites stay active during your renovation, we adapt our approach to minimize disruption:
Contain dust with barriers
Schedule noisy work off-hours
Maintain safe access routes
Floor and Ceiling Demolition
Floors and ceilings come out for various reasons. Old flooring gets replaced during remodels. Ceilings get opened to access mechanical systems or raise ceiling heights. Sometimes water damage or structural issues require removing and replacing entire floor or ceiling assemblies.

All Types of Ceilings:
Floor Demolition Process
Floor demolition creates dust and debris. We tear out subfloors when they're damaged or when you're installing new systems underneath.
Ceiling Demolition Process
Ceiling work is messier since everything falls down. We remove drop ceilings, drywall ceilings, and plaster ceilings depending on what your project requires.
Kitchen and Bathroom Gutting
Kitchens and bathrooms are the most common rooms we gut. They're expensive to remodel and homeowners want them done right. That starts with proper demolition that removes everything cleanly without damaging plumbing, electrical, or structural elements.
Kitchen Gutting
Kitchen gutting involves removing upper and lower cabinets, countertops and backsplashes, appliances, sinks and faucets, flooring, and sometimes walls when you're reconfiguring the layout. We disconnect gas lines, plumbing, and electrical properly.
Bathroom Gutting
Bathroom gutting means removing vanities, mirrors, medicine cabinets, toilets, tubs, showers, tile surrounds, flooring, and fixtures. We protect walls when you're keeping them and replace drywall when tile or fixtures damaged it during removal.

How long does interior demolition take?
It depends on scope. A single bathroom takes a day or two. A full kitchen might take two to three days. Gutting an entire house can take a week or more. We'll give you an accurate timeline during your estimate.
Can you remove load-bearing walls?
Yes, but it requires engineering and temporary supports. We coordinate with structural engineers and install beams to carry the load once the wall is removed.
Do I need permits for interior demolition?
Sometimes. Major structural changes like removing load-bearing walls typically require permits. Non-structural work like removing cabinets or flooring usually doesn't. We'll advise you during your estimate.
Will you protect my floors and other finished areas?
Absolutely. We use drop cloths, floor protection, and plastic barriers to contain dust and debris. We're careful around areas that aren't being demolished.
Can you work around my schedule?
Yes. We'll schedule demolition when it's convenient for you, whether that's during the day, evenings, or weekends.
What happens to demolished materials?
We haul everything away and dispose of it properly. You won't have debris piles sitting in your driveway or yard.
How much does interior demolition cost?
It varies based on what's being removed and how much there is. Small projects run a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars. Large projects cost more. Call for a free quote specific to your project.
Can you demo just one room?
Yes. We handle single room demolitions all the time, whether it's a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, or any other space.
Do you disconnect plumbing and electrical?
Yes. We safely disconnect and cap plumbing and electrical lines as part of the demolition process.
