Interior Demolition & Tear-Out
Junk Removal Service USA handles non-structural interior demolition across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County: cabinets, vanities, tile and terrazzo floors, drywall, ceilings, and fixtures once utilities are disconnected. Interior demolition in Florida typically costs $2 to $8 per square foot including haul-away. Load-bearing walls, plumbing, and electrical work stay with licensed contractors.

What We Don't Do — and Who Does
Florida law (Fla. Stat. § 489.105) reserves demolition of any building or residence for licensed contractors. We stay on the non-building side of that line and refer the rest. How the line works →
- ⚠Load-bearing walls, headers, and roof framing — licensed contractor with a permit and drawings
- ⚠Disconnecting or relocating plumbing, gas, or electrical — licensed trades, before we start
- ⚠Suspected asbestos-containing material (popcorn ceilings, 9×9 tile, mastic in pre-1980s homes) — licensed abatement first
How Interior Demolition Works
- 1
Scope and photos
Square footage, what comes out, and the home's age. Pre-1985 homes get an asbestos-survey question before anything else.
- 2
Trades disconnect
Your plumber and electrician cap lines and circuits. We don't touch anything live or pressurized.
- 3
Tear-out
Cabinets, fixtures, flooring, and drywall come out in order. Dust containment on request.
- 4
Haul and leave a clean shell
Debris goes in the same visit — no dumpster sitting in the driveway. Floors are swept ready for the contractor.
What Interior Demolition Costs in South Florida
$2–$8 per sq ft
Kitchens typically run $500 to $2,500 and bathrooms $600 to $2,000; tile-heavy rooms and terrazzo price at the top.
What moves the price
- •Flooring type — tile in a mortar bed and terrazzo are the slowest
- •Number of fixtures and built-ins
- •Dustless removal (adds roughly 10–20%)
- •Floor level and elevator access in condos
- •Whether an asbestos survey is required first

Removing finishes only — cabinets, flooring, drywall on a partition — with no structural, electrical, or plumbing change is generally not a permitted act, but municipalities vary and we confirm first. Anything that touches wiring, plumbing, or structure rides on your contractor's permit. Miami-Dade requires an asbestos survey for renovations over 160 square feet.
