Comprehensive Light Demolition Services
Light demolition covers a range of tasks that don’t involve load‑bearing structural changes but still require expertise, tools, and proper safety measures. Our team handles:

Interior Wall Removal: Demolish non‑load‑bearing drywall or plaster partitions, including taping, mud, and lath—leaving studs ready for reconfiguring or removal.

Cabinetry & Fixture Removal: Remove kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, countertops, and built‑in shelving units without damaging adjacent walls or plumbing lines.

Ceiling & Flooring Tear‑Out: Remove popcorn ceilings, drop ceilings, laminate or vinyl plank flooring, tile, linoleum, and underlayment to prepare for new finishes.

Tile & Backsplash Demo: Carefully break out tile backsplashes, ceramic tiles, or masonry veneer—minimizing dust and preserving underlying surfaces when possible.

Countertop & Sink Removal: Detach granite, quartz, or laminate countertops and sinks (kitchen or bathroom), ensuring plumbing lines are capped or protected as needed.

Door & Window Frame Dismantling: Remove interior door frames, trim, and window casings—prepping openings for new doors or updated millwork.

Light Fixture & HVAC Register Removal: Disconnect and remove ceiling fans, light fixtures, HVAC registers, and vent covers while maintaining wiring or ductwork integrity.

Built‑In Bookcase & Media Center Removal: Dismantle custom built‑ins and entertainment centers, allowing for easy removal of hardware and cabinets without harming wall surfaces.

Every light demolition project is assessed to confirm that the elements being removed aren’t load‑bearing. If there’s any uncertainty, our crew coordinates with your contractor or structural engineer before proceeding—ensuring safety and code compliance.

Efficient, Damage‑Controlled Deconstruction
Light demolition requires more than brute force; it demands precision tools and careful methods to prevent collateral damage. Our technicians use:

Reciprocating saws, oscillating multi‑tools, and hand saws to cut through drywall, studs, and trim without overcutting adjoining structures

Pry bars, crowbars, and nail pullers to detach nails, staples, and screws from framing and trim—leaving surfaces smooth for restoration

Floor scrapers, chisels, and putty knives to remove adhesive residues, thinset mortar, or caulk from subfloors and walls

Protective tarps, dust seals, and drop cloths to isolate work areas—minimizing dust migration into adjacent rooms

Safety equipment (hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, respirators) to protect our crew and anyone on site

We work methodically, section by section, to ensure that electrical lines, plumbing, and ductwork remain intact. If any utilities need to be temporarily deactivated or rerouted, we coordinate with licensed electricians or plumbers before beginning demolition.

Our Streamlined Demolition Process

Request a Free Estimate – Call or text 417‑425‑2730 or submit our online form. Provide project details: items to be demolished (walls, cabinets, flooring), square footage, and any access restrictions (narrow hallways, low ceilings).

On‑Site Assessment & Transparent Pricing – We arrive on schedule, inspect your space, and deliver a flat‑rate estimate covering labor, equipment, debris hauling, and cleanup. No hidden fees—just honest pricing.

Preparation & Safety Measures – Our crew marks utility shut‑offs, lays down protective floor coverings, and installs dust barriers or zip‑walls. We also remove light furniture or belongings from the work zone to prevent damage.

Selective Deconstruction – Using precision tools, we dismantle specified elements one piece at a time. Wall studs remain intact if they support adjacent structures; cabinetry is unbolted from walls without gouging drywall; flooring is peeled up to preserve subfloor edges.

Debris Collection & Hauling – All demolition debris—drywall, wood, tile, trim, and old fixtures—is neatly bundled, bagged, and loaded onto our truck. We sweep and vacuum the area to remove loose dust, nails, and splinters.

Final Inspection & Cleanup – After removal, we perform a walkthrough with you or your contractor to confirm all targeted elements are gone and that the space is broom‑clean. Any requested hole filling (e.g., small drywall patch) is noted for your tradesperson.
