Frequently Asked Questions

What is interior demolition?+
Interior demolition is the selective removal of a building's internal elements—walls, floors, ceilings, kitchens, bathrooms, and fixtures—while maintaining the exterior structure and structural integrity. It is required before any major interior renovation and must comply with applicable building codes. All American Rubbish has specialized in interior demolition since 1993.
Do you pull permits for interior demolition in NYC?+
Yes. All American Rubbish assists clients in obtaining required permits from the NYC Department of Buildings and ensures all demolition work meets NYC and Pennsylvania building codes. We handle the permitting process so you don't have to navigate it alone.
How long does an interior demolition project take?+
A single-room kitchen or bathroom demo typically takes 1–2 days. Larger projects—such as full floor gut-outs or multi-room commercial demolitions—typically take 3–7 days. We provide a specific timeline with every estimate before work begins.
Is asbestos a concern with interior demolition?+
Yes, for buildings constructed before 1980. Asbestos-containing materials must be tested by a certified inspector and, if found, remediated by a licensed abatement contractor before demolition can begin. All American Rubbish can refer clients to qualified abatement professionals and will schedule around the remediation timeline.
What does interior demolition cost in Staten Island?+
A typical kitchen demolition in the New York metro area runs $800–$2,500. Full gut demolitions of a complete floor range from $3,000 to $10,000 or more depending on size, materials, and permit requirements. Every project receives a detailed free estimate before any commitment is made.
