Drywall Demolition Services
Fast wall and ceiling removal, dust-controlled tearout, in-house disposal
No credit card required. Free estimate. Easy to reschedule.
Drywall removal is one of the fastest and cleanest demolition jobs when done by licensed professionals. Whether you're gutting walls for a renovation, removing water-damaged sheetrock, or prepping a space for structural work, TJ's Cleanouts removes drywall safely and hauls debris the same day. Our licensed crew uses dust-control techniques to minimize mess inside your home or business.
Wall demolition, ceiling removal, and damaged-sheetrock tearout are our bread and butter. We handle partial removals (single wall) or complete room gutting. Permits are obtained where required, and final cleanup leaves your space ready for the next phase of work.
Drywall debris is bulky but lightweight, so removal is fast and cost-effective. We load everything into our truck, haul it the same day, and recycle what we can. Flat pricing based on square footage or scope means no surprise charges.
Free on-site estimate. You approve the price before we load anything.
Drywall Removal We Handle
Our Process
We inspect the drywall condition, confirm what's being removed, and check for asbestos or lead (common in older homes). If hazardous materials are present, we stop and refer to certified abatement professionals. Your safety is first.
We seal doorways with plastic sheeting and set up HEPA fans or containment barriers to keep dust out of living areas. This is especially important in occupied homes or commercial spaces.
Drywall is cut into manageable pieces and loaded directly into our truck. We remove studs if requested, or leave them standing for your contractor. Insulation behind walls is bagged and removed separately for recycling.
All debris loads into our truck same-day. We sweep the work area clean and dispose of drywall at licensed facilities. Recycling rates are high for clean drywall.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a permit needed for drywall removal?
It depends on the scope. Removing a single non-load-bearing wall typically doesn't require a permit. Removing multiple walls, altering load-bearing structures, or removing drywall in commercial buildings may need a Building Permit. We confirm permit requirements during your estimate and pull permits if needed.
What's the difference between drywall removal and structural demolition?
Drywall removal is the sheetrock tearout only. Structural demolition involves removing load-bearing walls, framing, and foundations. Load-bearing removal requires engineer approval and separate permits. We handle both; drywall-only is faster and less costly.
Do you remove insulation behind the drywall?
Yes, insulation comes out with drywall removal. Fiberglass batts are bagged and disposed responsibly. Blown insulation is vacuumed and hauled. If you're replacing insulation during a renovation, we can remove the old material and prepare the cavity for new insulation.
How long does drywall removal take?
Small single-wall removal: 1 day. Larger area (500+ sq ft): 2-3 days. Complete room gutting: 3-5 days depending on complexity. We confirm timeline during your estimate and schedule accordingly.
What if the drywall has water damage or mold?
If water damage is visible, we stop work and recommend you have a mold inspector assess the area first. If mold is confirmed, we refer to certified mold abatement professionals. Our role is removing the drywall after abatement is complete. Never demo into unknown mold, that's a licensed specialist's job.
Can I keep the studs and framing after drywall is removed?
Yes, we can remove drywall and leave studs standing for your contractor to reframe. Or we remove everything down to the rim board, your choice. Confirm during your estimate and we'll price accordingly.
