Kitchen teardown? Bathroom gut? We demo it, load it up, and haul it away. One crew, one visit, done.
Call (216) 640-9193Here's what most people don't realize about renovation projects. The demolition part is often the hardest and messiest step. Ripping out a kitchen sounds fun until you're standing in a pile of broken tile with drywall dust in your eyes and no way to get it all out of your house.
That's our thing. We're Local Junk Team, and we handle interior demolition for homeowners and contractors across Cleveland. The beauty of hiring us is that we do the demo AND haul away all the debris in one visit. You don't need to hire a demo crew and then separately hire a junk removal company. We do both. One call, one crew, one bill.
Cleveland is full of homes that need updating. Those 1920s colonials in Shaker Heights with the original kitchens. The mid-century ranches in Parma Heights that haven't been touched since 1975. The Lakewood doubles where every floor needs new everything. We've torn out kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and entire floors in homes all over the Greater Cleveland area. We know what we're dealing with, and we know how to do it safely.
This is what sets us apart. Most demo companies tear everything out and leave it sitting there. Then you've got to figure out how to get rid of it. We bring the crew, we bring the truck. Everything we rip out goes straight into the truck and leaves with us when we're done. Your space is cleared out and ready for the contractor to start rebuilding. No debris sitting in the driveway. No dumpster rental. Just a clean, empty room.
Working in older homes is different. There's plaster and lath instead of drywall. There are layers of flooring stacked on top of each other going back decades. Sometimes you pull up vinyl and find hardwood, then tile, then another layer of vinyl underneath. Cleveland's older neighborhoods like Ohio City, Old Brooklyn, and the East Side have homes that have been renovated multiple times over a hundred years. We're used to surprises, and we handle them without slowing down.
We're also careful about what might be lurking in older homes. If we see anything that looks like it could be asbestos, we stop and let you know. We're not an abatement company, but we know enough to flag potential issues before they become problems. Safety comes first, always.
Most basic interior demo doesn't require a permit. Pulling out cabinets, removing flooring, tearing down drywall on existing walls. That's straightforward. But if you're removing walls, even non-load-bearing ones, the City of Cleveland may require a permit. We always recommend checking with the building department before starting. If you're not sure, ask us and we'll share what we know from experience. We've done enough projects in Cleveland to have a good sense of what typically needs a permit and what doesn't.

Demolition pricing depends on what's coming out and how big the space is. A small bathroom demo with debris removal typically runs $500 to $1,200. A full kitchen gut runs $1,000 to $3,000. Bigger projects like gutting an entire floor or multiple rooms will be more. These prices cover the demo work AND the debris removal. We quote on-site after seeing the space, and the price includes everything. No separate hauling fee, no surprise charges.
