Dust control — the part most demo crews skip

We seal off the demo zone with floor-to-ceiling poly sheeting and zip-doors, run negative-air HEPA filtration during the gut, and tarp the path from the demo zone to our dump trailer in the driveway. Adjacent rooms stay clean and livable in most occupied-home scenarios. If you have kids, pets, or asthma, this matters — and it costs us labor most contractors don't include.

Load-bearing walls

We will cut a load-bearing wall when you have an engineered support plan from a licensed structural engineer or your GC. The plan specifies the beam size, the bearing points, and the temporary shoring during demo. We do the demo and the temporary shoring; the permanent beam install is handled by a framer (we can recommend one in Rockwall).

What we won't do: cut a load-bearing wall without a plan. The risk is a partial roof or floor collapse, and no quote is worth that.

FAQs about interior demolition in Rockwall

How much does interior demolition cost in Rockwall, TX?

Interior demo runs $1,800 to $12,000. Single wall from $1,800. Kitchen gut $3,500 to $6,500. Bathroom gut $2,800 to $4,500. Whole-house strip $8,000 to $12,000.

Will you cut a load-bearing wall?

Yes, with an engineered support plan from a structural engineer or your GC. Without the plan, no — the risk of partial collapse is real.

Do you control the dust?

Yes. Poly sheeting and zip-doors seal off the demo zone, HEPA negative-air filtration runs during the gut, and we tarp the haul path. Adjacent rooms stay livable.

Do you coordinate with my GC or designer?

Yes. We coordinate scope, timing, and rough-in handoffs with your GC, plumber, electrician, and designer so the next trade starts the day after we finish.

Do I need a permit?

Most Rockwall-area cities require a permit when plumbing, electrical, or load-bearing walls are touched. Cosmetic demo (cabinets, flooring, counters) usually doesn't. We confirm and pull it when required.

How long does interior demo take?

Single wall: 1 day. Bathroom gut: 1 to 2 days. Kitchen gut: 2 to 3 days. Whole-house strip: 5 to 10 days.

Renovation starts with clean demo.
