Gut Renovation FAQs
Common questions about full interior gut demolition projects.
How long does a full gut renovation take?
Single rooms typically take 1-2 days. A main floor gut (800-1,500 sq ft) usually takes 3-5 days. Whole-home gut renovations may take 1-2 weeks depending on complexity and access.
Can you remove load-bearing walls?
We can remove load-bearing walls, but it requires proper engineering and temporary support installation. This should be coordinated with your contractor and typically requires a permit. We'll identify load-bearing walls during our assessment.
What if we find mold or asbestos?
If we discover hazardous materials, we stop work and document findings. We partner with certified abatement contractors who can handle remediation. Once cleared, we continue with demolition.
Do you leave plumbing and electrical intact?
By default, we remove surface materials but leave main plumbing stacks and electrical panels in place. If you need these relocated or removed as part of your renovation, coordinate with licensed trades first.
Can I stay in my home during a gut renovation?
For partial gut renovations, you may be able to stay in unaffected areas. For whole-home guts, we recommend finding alternative accommodations due to dust, noise, and lack of utilities in work areas.
How do you protect areas that aren't being demolished?
We use heavy plastic sheeting, construction paper on floors, and tape off doorways. We also create dedicated debris removal paths to minimize impact on the rest of your home.
Important Information
Please review these notices regarding full gut renovation projects
If asbestos-containing materials are discovered during demolition, work must stop immediately. Licensed abatement contractors and specialized disposal are required by law. This can DRAMATICALLY increase project costs and timeline.
Ceiling demolition involving blown-in insulation may significantly increase project cost due to specialized cleanup, containment, and disposal requirements. The full scope cannot always be determined until work begins.
Estimates are just that — an Estimate. It's not the final price or outcome of the job. Estimates are liable to increase or decrease depending on a variety of situations and circumstances encountered during the project.
