Junk Removal vs. Dumpster Rental vs. DIY

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.

    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.
