Demolition services
Interior demolition means tearing out the parts of a home or business you're replacing, like drywall, flooring, cabinets, fixtures or a whole room down to the studs, while protecting what stays. Sunshine State Junk Removal does the tear-out, hauls the debris away and sweeps up so your contractor or installer can start. Text photos to (954) 247-1399 for a quote.
How it works
Step 1
Send photos of each room, or book a walkthrough, and mark exactly what's coming out.
Step 2
We agree in writing on what gets removed, what stays, and what you handle before day one.
Step 3
We cover what's staying, then remove drywall, flooring, cabinets and fixtures in the agreed areas.
Step 4
Debris goes out as we work and is hauled to approved disposal and recycling facilities.
Step 5
We sweep the space and leave it ready for framing, plumbing, electrical or your installer.
Pricing:every demolition job is quoted on its own scope. Text photos of the area (or book a walkthrough) and we'll send a quote.
You decide the line. Interior demolition can be as small as one wall of drywall or as large as taking a whole floor down to the studs. Before any work starts, we agree on exactly what comes out and what stays, so there are no surprises when you walk back in.
Things commonly removed:
Things that usually stay unless you tell us otherwise: load-bearing walls, plumbing and electrical lines, HVAC equipment and ductwork, windows and exterior doors, and anything you've marked to keep. If you're reusing cabinets, doors or fixtures, tell us up front and we'll take them out carefully and set them aside instead of breaking them down.
Structural changes, like removing a load-bearing wall, need to be planned by your contractor or engineer. Check with your city's building department about permit requirements before that kind of work starts.
Two rooms that look the same in photos can be very different jobs. The things that change the scope most are:
The fastest way to get an accurate quote is to send photos of every room involved, including the floors and ceilings, and a short note about what's staying. For larger jobs, a walkthrough lets us see access and conditions in person.
If you are only replacing part of a room, say so. Cutting drywall to a clean line for a patch takes more care than clearing a whole wall.
A little preparation keeps the job safe and on schedule. Utilities to the work area need to be shut off and disconnected by the appropriate party before demolition — that's your utility provider, plumber or electrician, not the demolition crew. Clear personal items out of the rooms, and let neighbors or your HOA know about work hours if your community requires it.
Some materials can't go in with ordinary debris. We don't accept or haul asbestos, chemicals, paints or other hazardous materials. If you suspect something in the space contains asbestos, have it tested by a qualified professional before demolition begins. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection administers the federal asbestos rules for demolitions and renovations in Florida, and its page explains the notification requirements and which local compliance office to contact.
If anything unexpected turns up once walls or floors are open, such as water damage, mold or wiring you weren't expecting, we stop and talk to you before going further.
Dumpster sizes
Interior debris like drywall, cabinets and flooring is bulky but mostly moderate in weight, so the 18 or 21 yard trailer fits one to a few rooms. Tile and plaster add weight quickly; each rental includes 1 ton, and weight over that is $120 per ton.

Interior demolition is removing parts of a building's inside, like drywall, flooring, cabinets and fixtures, while leaving the structure and anything you're keeping in place. It's usually the first step of a remodel.
Yes. Loading the debris, hauling it to approved disposal and recycling facilities, and sweeping up the space are included in the job.
It depends on your city and the scope of the work, so check with your city's building department before work starts. Getting any required permit is the property owner's or their contractor's responsibility.
You do, through the appropriate party: your utility provider, plumber or electrician. Water, electric and gas to the work area need to be shut off and disconnected before demolition starts.
