DIY Demolition

When it comes to kitchen remodeling, demolition is always part of the plan depending on the extent of renovation to be done in the project. Demolition is a part of the job that seems easy at first but once you get started reality sets in. Demolition can be one of the hardest parts of the entire job. That being said some demolition jobs can be done on your own, but some should definitely be left to the professionals. Here is a quick list of jobs I would try on my own and a few that I would dare touch.

DIY Demolition

  • Decks lower than 6 feet in the air
  • Drywall
  • Kitchens
  • Baths
  • Wallpaper
  • Trim and doors
  • Windows—if you can reach them safely
  • Landscape features
  • Small trees and bushes
  • Some mold

Leave it to the Pro's

  • Roofing and siding
  • Decks more than 6 feet high
  • Natural gas
  • Asbestos, lead and some mold
  • Landscape structures such as garages and sheds
  • Anything over one story
  • Electrical
  • Plumbing
  • HVAC

As with any demolition job, be sure to rent a debris container that can fit all of the rubbish created from such jobs. Contact J Bass and Son for container rentals in the Bronx, Westchester, and surrounding areas.
