Our Demolition Services

Interior Demolition

Careful, controlled removal of non-load-bearing walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, and finishes while protecting adjacent areas and building systems. Interior demolition is the first step in most kitchen, bathroom, and basement renovation projects. We use dust barriers, floor protection, and systematic removal techniques to keep your home clean and safe.

Structural & Selective Demolition

When your renovation requires removing load-bearing elements, staircases, concrete sections, or outdated structural components, our team executes with engineered precision. Temporary shoring, structural assessments, and engineering approvals are standard procedure for every structural demolition project. We work closely with structural engineers to ensure safety and code compliance throughout.

Residential Demolition

From kitchens and bathrooms to basements and entire homes, we prepare your property for renovations or complete rebuilds. Our residential demolition services include removal of walls, flooring, cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, electrical fixtures, insulation, and any other elements that need to be cleared before new construction begins.

Clean-Out & Debris Removal

A renovation-ready site starts with a clean one. We handle complete debris removal, responsible disposal, and recycling of demolished materials. Our team loads, hauls, and disposes of all demolition waste in compliance with local regulations, leaving your site clean and ready for the next phase of construction.

Light Commercial Demolition

Safe and efficient demolition for offices, retail units, restaurants, and commercial interiors across the GTA. We work within building management schedules, observe noise and dust restrictions, and ensure that neighbouring tenants are minimally impacted by our work.

Frequently Asked Questions — Drywall & Framing

Do I need a permit for demolition in Ontario?

Permits are required for most structural demolition work in Ontario, including removal of load-bearing walls, exterior walls, or any elements that affect the building's structural integrity. Interior demolition that involves only non-structural elements (cabinets, flooring, non-bearing walls) typically does not require a permit, but it is always best to check with your municipality. We handle all necessary permit applications for Burlington, Oakville, and Milton.

How do you handle hazardous materials during demolition?

For homes built before 1990, there may be hazardous materials such as asbestos in ceiling textures, flooring tiles, or insulation, and lead-based paint. If hazardous materials are suspected, we recommend professional testing before demolition begins. If present, we coordinate with certified abatement professionals to ensure safe removal in compliance with Ontario regulations.

How long does interior demolition take?

Interior demolition timelines depend on the scope of work. A single room (kitchen or bathroom) typically takes 1 to 3 days. A full-floor interior demolition may take 3 to 5 days. Complete whole-house demolition can take 5 to 10 days. We provide timeline estimates during your free consultation.

How much does demolition cost in Burlington?

Demolition costs depend on the scope, complexity, and disposal requirements. Interior demolition for a kitchen or bathroom typically ranges from $2,000 to $5,000. Full basement strip-out ranges from $3,000 to $8,000. Structural demolition with engineering and shoring adds additional cost. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your project.
