About Our Service

NYC Bathroom Demo - From Small to Master

Bathroom demo in NYC is its own beast - tight spaces, shared walls, plumbing chases you can't see into, and co-op rules about shutoff coordination. We've done it all. Small hall bathrooms in half a day, master suites in a day.

Full gut: tub, tile walls, floor tile, vanity, toilet, light fixtures, medicine cabinet. Sometimes plaster walls too if you're going to new drywall. Plumbing capping coordinated with your licensed plumber.

NYC plaster walls hide surprises - old copper, galvanized pipe, cloth-wrap wiring. We work slow when needed and coordinate with your trades when hidden issues appear. Always better than drilling into a live line.

Demolition vs. DIY vs. General Contractor

Not sure which option is right? Here's how they stack up.

Bottom line: If you want it gone fast with zero effort, junk removal is the move. If you have a week-long renovation, a dumpster rental makes more sense. We offer both - call and we'll recommend the right option.

Stairs, narrow hallways, distance from items to the truck.

Standard junk vs. electronics vs. construction debris - priced differently.

Same-day/rush vs. standard. No premium in most cases.

We always quote on-site before starting. The price we give is the price you pay - no hourly surprises, no hidden fees.

Prepare

Booked Your Pickup? Here's How to Prepare

You don't need to do much - that's the point. But these tips can save time and may lower your cost.

📍

Gather items in one area

The faster we can access everything, the faster the job goes.

🏷️

Separate what you're keeping

Point it out to the crew before we start - nothing leaves by accident.

🚪

Clear a path to the exit

Move rugs or furniture that might be in the way of the nearest door or elevator.

⚠️

Check for hazardous items

Set aside paint, chemicals, propane. We can't take those but can point you to options.

✅

Don't bag or box everything

We handle loose items, piles, and clutter. That's literally what we do.

Why Choose Us

The Only NYC Contractor
That Does Both

Stop hiring two separate companies. We handle the demo AND the haul-away - one crew, one invoice, better price.

FAQ

Common Questions About Bathroom Demolition in NYC

Quick answers to what NYC clients ask most.

Q How much does bathroom demolition cost in NYC?

Small half-bath: $700–$1,200. Standard full bath: $1,400–$2,400. Master bath with tub+shower+double vanity: $2,500–$4,500.

Q Do you demo cast-iron tubs?

Yes - our specialty. Cast iron tubs weigh 350–500lbs. We break them up on-site and haul the pieces. No way to move them intact through NYC apartments.

Q How long does it take?

Small bathroom: half-day. Standard full: 1 day. Master suite: 1–1.5 days. Coordinated with your tile and plumber schedules.

Q What about the plumbing stacks?

Stacks stay unless structural engineer approves removal. We work around them. Your plumber reroutes supply and drain lines during the rebuild phase.

Q Can you handle the tile removal safely?

Yes. We use chisel bits, dust shrouds, and HEPA extraction for full-tile demo. Adjacent rooms stay clean.

Q What about asbestos in old bathrooms?

Pre-1978 buildings: vinyl floor tile, tub surrounds, and mastic often contain asbestos. Testing before demo is required. We coordinate.

Q Do you haul the debris same-day?

Yes. Bathroom debris rarely exceeds one truck, so we haul as we demo. Clean site at end of day.

Q Can you protect the hallway and adjacent rooms?

Yes. Floor protection, dust barriers, and HEPA filtration. Neighbors and other rooms stay clean.

Q Do you coordinate with the tile installer?

Yes. We hand off a "blue-board ready" surface when needed. Tile installers have clean, flat walls to start on.

Q What about commercial bathrooms?

Yes. Office, restaurant, retail - ADA rebuild prep. After-hours work common for active businesses.

Tips

Bathroom Demo: What to Know

Quick tips from our crew.

Have plumber on-site day-of

Water shutoff coordination saves hours. Don't schedule demo without plumber confirmed.

Test for asbestos in pre-1978 buildings

Vinyl tile, tub surrounds, mastic - common asbestos sources. Lab test is $75–$150, saves $20,000 in fines.

Budget for subfloor

Bathrooms often hide rotted subfloor from years of leaks. Budget 15–25% contingency.

Document before demo

Photo water damage for insurance if applicable. Photo plumbing layout for the plumber.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does demolition cost in NYC?
    Interior demolition in NYC typically runs $4-$8 per sq ft for non-permitted work, $7-$12/sq ft for permitted. Kitchen gut-out: $1,800-$4,500. Full-bath strip: $1,200-$3,200. Wall removal with PE + Alt-2: $3,500-$8,000. We quote fixed-price after a free on-site walkthrough.
    How much should it cost to demo a kitchen?
    Standard kitchen gut-out (cabinets, counters, tile floor, appliances out): $1,800-$3,000 in NYC. Add $500-$1,200 for tile backsplash + ceiling demo. Wall removal (load-bearing) adds $2,500-$5,000 with PE-stamped drawings + Alt-2 filing. All quoted fixed-price, no hourly billing.
    What is the average cost to demolish a house?
    Full residential demolition in NYC runs $18,000-$45,000 depending on size, permit complexity, and asbestos/lead testing requirements. Most of our work is interior gut-outs and partial demos - full-house teardowns require a separate estimating process and city permits.
    Is it cheaper to demo or remodel?
    Depends on scope. For kitchens or bathrooms, the demo portion is typically 8-15% of the total renovation cost. Skipping demo (covering over old materials) saves money short-term but causes problems with rough-in, plumbing, and resale. Most general contractors require a clean tear-out before they'll start.
    What are the three types of demolition?
    (1) Interior demolition - walls, cabinets, fixtures, flooring stripped while building remains. (2) Selective demolition - specific elements removed (a load-bearing wall, a chimney, a deck). (3) Full demolition - entire structure razed. We handle 1 and 2 daily; 3 is permit/heavy-equipment work we coordinate with structural partners.
    Do I need a permit for interior demolition in NYC?
    Permitted (Alt-2 filing) work is required when you remove a load-bearing wall, change room layouts that affect plumbing/gas, or do anything visible from outside. Cosmetic gut-outs (cabinets, tile, fixtures) are usually non-permitted. We file Alt-2 in-house for permitted projects.
