A light demolition & tear-out job from arrival to swept floor
Light demolition is the part of a remodel that decides how the rest of it goes. A kitchen taken out carefully — cabinets off the wall, plumbing capped, the floor lifted to the subfloor — hands the next contractor a clean start. A kitchen taken out with a sledgehammer hands them a day of cleanup and a wall with holes in it that nobody planned for.
Anything structural is found before it is touched. Load-bearing walls, gas lines, and wiring that is live behind a wall that looks dead are the reasons a demolition is planned and not just started, and on a house of any age in this region there is a real chance of lead paint or asbestos in materials that pre-date the eighties. Those are tested before they become dust.
Decks, sheds and fences come down faster than they went up, and the useful question is what happens to the material. Treated lumber goes to the landfill; a concrete patio broken up is heavy and priced by the load; a shed with a sound roof sometimes has a buyer. The quote is for the removal and the disposal, and it says which is which.

FAQ
What can go, what can’t: light demolition & tear-out questions
What is light demolition?
Taking out a kitchen or a bathroom to the studs, removing walls that are not structural, tearing out a deck, a shed or a fence, and breaking up small slabs and patios — the demolition that comes before a remodel or a rebuild, with the debris hauled and the site left clean. It is not structural demolition of a building, which is a different license and a different crew.
Do you check for asbestos or lead before demolition?
On any house old enough to have it — and in Nashville that is most houses built before the eighties — yes, suspect materials are tested before they are disturbed. Old floor tile, some plaster, pipe insulation and popcorn ceilings are the usual suspects. If it tests positive, it is removed by a licensed abatement contractor, not by us.
