The way we do things
Smart demo means fewer surprises
Wall, plaster or ceiling demolition isn’t just about knocking things down, but about understanding how your home was put together in the first place. Portland houses, especially the older ones, come with their quirks: layers of plaster over lath, hidden utilities, walls that were added or altered decades ago.
This is the reason why we take time to map everything out before we touch a thing. You can count on us to figure out what’s structural, what’s cosmetic, and what’s going to require a lighter touch. That way, once we’re on-site, we’re setting you up for a smoother renovation ahead.
Our work makes yours easier
Demolion may look simple, but doing it right takes real experience. As leading interior demolition contractors in Portland, we’ve worked in tight bathrooms, awkward hallways, historic homes with fragile trim, and modern builds where drywall is layered with insulation, vapor barriers, or soundproofing. Every detail matters. No matter if we’re tackling a full plaster wall demolition or carefully cutting back a section of ceiling, we work with control and precision. That means fewer messes, no unplanned damage, and a faster turnaround to get your project moving. Need tile floor removal or roofing demolition too? We’ve got it covered. We don’t cut corners; we respect your space and handle it like it’s our own.

You can’t teach instinct, but experience helps. We’ve worked in enough Portland homes to know what’s likely hiding behind the walls. We go in knowing what to expect and how not to break something we shouldn’t.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does drywall removal typically take?
For most single-room projects in Portland, we can usually wrap up drywall removal in about a day. That said, the exact timing depends on the room’s size and whether there are any structural elements or utilities to work around. We always aim to work efficiently without cutting corners, so your project can stay on schedule and move forward smoothly, with as little disruption to your space as possible.
Do I need a permit for interior wall demolition?
In many cases, yes, especially if the wall we’re removing is load-bearing or contains electrical wiring or plumbing. Before starting any wall removal project, we assess the structure and check for potential complications. If a permit is required, we’ll take care of the paperwork and approvals. Our goal is to make sure your wall removal is safe, up to code, and handled the right way from beginning to end.
What challenges are there with plaster demolition?
Plaster is tougher to deal with than drywall. It’s heavier, more brittle, and often backed by wood or metal lath. That makes plaster removal more time-consuming and messy. In many older Portland homes, we also stay alert for potential hazards like lead paint or asbestos. We take extra care to control dust, contain debris, and protect your space, always following safety protocols to ensure a clean and responsible demolition.
What does ceiling demolition involve?
When we take on ceiling demolition, it’s more than just removing the surface. We carefully take down plaster or drywall, disconnect light fixtures, and manage all the cleanup and disposal. If we uncover wiring, insulation, or anything unexpected above the ceiling, we make sure it’s handled properly. We also take extra steps to protect your floors and furniture from falling debris and keep dust from spreading throughout your home.
