About Our Service

Commercial Demo for NYC Business Properties

Commercial demolition in NYC is a different game - DOB filings, OSHA-10 or 30 certified crews, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) disconnect coordination, neighboring-building protection, and tight schedules that don't allow delay.

We work with landlords, property managers, tenants, and GCs on commercial demolition projects from 500sqft retail spaces to 30,000sqft warehouse strips. Most NYC commercial landlords have us on approved-vendor lists.

Every project includes: permit coordination, MEP trade coordination, site safety plan, debris haul to licensed C&D facility, recycling documentation, and final inspection. LEED-compliant reporting on request.

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.

What Affects Your Price

πŸ“¦ Volume

How much space items take in the truck. This is the biggest factor.

βš–οΈ Weight

Heavy items like concrete or appliances cost more due to labor and disposal.

πŸͺœ Access

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

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.

πŸ“

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.

πŸšͺ

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.

βœ…

Don't bag or box everything

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

FAQ

Common Questions About Commercial Demolition in NYC

Quick answers to what NYC clients ask most.

Q How much does commercial demolition cost?

Retail strip-out: $8–$18 per sqft. Office: $10–$22 per sqft. Restaurant (kitchen included): $15–$30 per sqft. Warehouse: varies by complexity. Quoted on walk-through.

Q How fast can you start?

Permit filing: 2–4 weeks for most commercial demo (faster for selective demo within existing permits). Active demo phase: days to weeks depending on scope.

Q Do you coordinate MEP disconnect?

Yes. Licensed electrician, plumber, and HVAC tech to disconnect before demo starts. We coordinate scheduling.

Q What about after-hours work?

Standard for active commercial buildings. Evening, overnight, and weekend demo to minimize business disruption.

Q Do you provide COI to landlord/tenant?

Yes. COI within the hour, per landlord's requirements. Approved-vendor at hundreds of NYC commercial properties.

Q How do you handle dust and containment?

HEPA-filtered negative air machines, zip walls, and plastic barriers. Adjacent tenants stay clean and operational.

Q What about LEED documentation?

Yes. Weight tickets, recycling rate documentation, material diversion reports. LEED-compliant on request.

Q Can you handle hazmat?

Asbestos and lead: licensed abatement partner. Mold: certified remediation partner. We coordinate full-service.

Q Do you work on active retail strips?

Yes, after-hours. We've demo'd spaces between two operating stores without disrupting either.

Q What about the CO (certificate of occupancy)?

Demo itself doesn't affect CO. Major alterations may require new CO - your architect and expediter handle that phase.

Tips

Commercial Demo: Lease/Landlord Considerations

Quick tips from our crew.

Define scope in the lease

Tenant vs. landlord responsibility for demo at lease end. Put it in writing up-front.

Get landlord COI approval early

Some landlords require specific endorsements. Send ours early so surprises don't delay demo.

Document condition before demo

Photo/video pre-demo. Critical for SNDA and leasehold improvement disputes.

Coordinate with next tenant's architect

Demo scope often driven by new tenant's build. Early architect coordination saves rework.

    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.
