What We Don’t Do — And Why It Matters
We’re transparent about our scope so you always hire the right people for the right job.
❌ No Structural Demolition
Load-bearing walls, beams, columns, and foundation work require licensed GC’s and engineers. That’s not us — and any company willing to do that work without proper licensing isn’t who you want.
❌ No Permit-Required Work
If the demolition scope requires a permit from Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, or any city in our area, it’s outside what we do. Our work is non-permit territory.
❌ No Full Building Teardowns
We remove sheds and small structures — but not full buildings, garages, or anything requiring structural engineering oversight.
✅ Our Sweet Spot
Interior renovation prep, outdoor structure removal, and non-structural gut-outs — done fast, clean, and at flat-rate pricing. That’s what we’re built for.

Light Demolition FAQs
Answers to the most common questions about our Tampa Bay demo services.

Most interior light demolition — removing cabinets, flooring, tile, vanities, and non-load-bearing fixtures — does not require permits in Pinellas or Hillsborough County. We only work within the non-permit range.
We offer same-day service across the Tampa Bay area for many jobs. Call before noon and we can often be there the same day, including weekends. Next-day scheduling is almost always available.

What We Mean by Light Demolition
Light demolition covers the removal of non-structural elements inside or outside a building. It does not involve load-bearing walls, foundations, or major structural work. Think of it as everything between “I want this gone” and “we need an engineer.”
Common light demolition jobs we handle include interior gut-outs for remodel prep, shed and outbuilding removal, deck and porch tear-down, fence removal and disposal, hot tub and spa removal, playset and swing set removal, drywall and flooring removal, cabinet and countertop removal, and tile and backsplash demo.
If you are not sure whether your project qualifies, call us at (727) 264-5536. We will give you a straight answer fast.
Our Light Demolition Services
Kitchen Demolition
Remodeling your kitchen starts with getting the old one out. We remove cabinets, countertops, backsplash tile, flooring, and non-load-bearing walls. We work carefully around plumbing and electrical and we clean up after ourselves. Most kitchen demos take a single day.
Bathroom Demolition
Vanities, tubs, shower surrounds, tile floors, toilets — we pull it all and haul it out. We prep the space so your contractor can start fresh without wasting time on demo day.
Shed Demolition and Removal
Old sheds, storage buildings, and outbuildings can be an eyesore and a code issue. We disassemble or demolish the structure, remove every piece of debris, and leave you with a clean, level area. Most shed removals are done in two to four hours.
Deck Removal
Whether it is a small back porch or a full wrap-around deck, we tear it down and take it away. We pull up decking boards, remove posts and footings where accessible, and clean the area.
Fence Removal
Chain link, wood privacy, vinyl — we handle all types. We remove posts, concrete footings, and hardware. Great for homeowners getting a new fence installed or clearing a property line.
Hot Tub and Spa Removal
Hot tubs are heavy and awkward. We disconnect, break down, and haul away hot tubs of all sizes. This is one of our most popular services — see our dedicated hot tub removal page for more details.
Drywall and Flooring Removal
Gutting a room down to the studs? We handle drywall tear-out, carpet and pad removal, tile removal, and hardwood floor removal. We bag the debris and sweep the space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between light demolition and full demolition?
Light demolition involves removing non-structural elements like cabinets, flooring, drywall, sheds, decks, and fences. Full demolition involves tearing down entire structures, which typically requires heavy equipment and engineering permits. We handle light demo only.
How much does light demolition cost?
Pricing depends on the scope. Small jobs like a single room gut-out might start around \$300 to \$500. Larger projects like shed removal or full kitchen demo typically range from \$500 to \$2,000. We provide free estimates so you know the cost before we start.
Do I need a permit for demolition work?
For most light demolition including interior work, shed removal, and fence removal, no permit is needed in Pinellas County. Some municipalities may require a permit for deck removal or exterior structures.
How long does a light demo job take?
Most jobs are done in a single day. A bathroom demo might take two to three hours. A kitchen demo is usually four to six hours. Shed removal runs two to four hours depending on size.
Do you haul away all the debris?
Yes. Every piece of drywall, wood, tile, and metal gets loaded on our truck and disposed of properly. We leave the space broom-clean.
Can you work around existing plumbing and electrical?
Yes. We are careful around mechanical systems. We do not do plumbing or electrical work ourselves, but we know how to demo around them without causing damage.
