Interior Demolition

Walls represent a myriad of different things in life. They represent boundaries, hurdles, obstacles, seasons of life, and accomplishments. As with any aspect of life, sometimes those walls need to come down. This is true in both the figurative and literal sense. If you have actual, physical, constructed walls in need of tear down, then we have some information we know you will find helpful.

“What goes up, must come down.” ^[1] We know this is true of buildings, bridges, and towers, but this same principle is also true for interior spaces. If you are currently considering a remodel of some kind, or perhaps you are looking to expand an already existing space, then you are in need of interior demolition.

What is interior demolition? 

“Interior demolition is any non-structural demolishing of spaces. It can include everything from wall and ceiling removal, floor removal, and even salvaging of materials for future use. There can also be some selective structural demolition, which includes the removal of walls and certain beams. While doing the latter will require a professional’s help, so too will the other interior demolitions projects.”

If you are in the process of a remodel or updates to your home, office space, a retail store or restaurant franchise, healthcare provision location, school classroom or administrative offices – then these are just a few areas where interior demolition may be necessary. 

Perhaps you are not in the remodeling process at all, but you are on the brink of a whole building demolition project. Interior demolition, more often than not, is the first initial step in your overall demolition process. These projects require an expert to ensure load-bearing walls are not removed prematurely, any materials that are going to be reused are removed properly, and that no dangerous or hazardous materials are disturbed or dispersed through the demolition process. ^[2]

Practically speaking, interior demolition is the specific and limited removal of the primary structural components from inside the actual structure. What are these components? In layman’s terms, these are fixtures, and they include things like walls, carpets, flooring, floor support, ceiling fans or the entire ceiling, tile, baseboards, molding, mechanical systems, plumbing, electrical wiring, insulation, dry-wall, and fire protectant devices just to name a few. ^[3]

Whatever your interior demolition project is, we will help you knock it down safely, efficiently, and in the most cost-effective way we can.
