Selective Demolition in Hamilton
Selective demolition for renovations where most of the home stays. We remove only what is on the plan, seal off the work zone and keep the rest of your house clean and livable.
Take out what's on the plan. Protect everything else.
Selective demolition is precise work: opening a wall between the kitchen and dining room, removing a fireplace surround, pulling out a dated staircase railing or stripping a single room for a new layout. The goal is to remove one thing cleanly without damaging the finishes, floors and structure around it.
We mark the scope with you on the walk-through, protect the surrounding rooms, and work by hand so we can stop exactly at the line. Families and tenants often stay in the home while we work, so we keep noise to working hours and clean up every day.

- Fireplace and chimney breast removal inside the home

Something else on your mind? Call Rory directly at (289) 659-1488.
We build dust walls with zip doors, cover floors and stairs, and can run an air scrubber in the work zone. Some fine dust is always possible, but far less than on an unsealed job.
Yes. Tell us what to keep on the walk-through: doors, trim, flooring or fixtures. We remove them first and set them aside.
No, we focus on demolition. We leave the area clean for your contractor or the trades you hire.
Smaller selective jobs can often start within one to two weeks of the quote. Call to check current availability.
