How much dust will this make?

A lot, which is why containment matters more than speed. Poly at the openings, protected routes, covered furnace returns and daily cleanup. We will tell you honestly which days the space is unusable rather than promise it stays clean.

Can you remove Hollick-Kenyon drywall without damaging the framing?

Yes — Hollick-Kenyon tear-outs are careful: studs, wiring, plumbing and ducts behind the board stay intact and stage-ready.

Can board come off Hollick-Kenyon walls with the studs left intact?

Yes — careful Hollick-Kenyon demolition leaves studs and hidden services untouched and ready to build on.

Is it cheaper to strip just the damaged part?

On a small Hollick-Kenyon area, usually yes. Past roughly half a wall, taking it to framing is faster and gives a better finish, because a strip-back leaves an awkward join to blend.

Can you take out this wall for me?

Only once we know it is not load-bearing, and that needs drawings or an engineer rather than an assumption. If it turns out to be bearing, the job becomes framing and beams, which is far better priced before demolition than discovered during it.

Do you remove ceiling drywall too in Hollick-Kenyon?

Yes — we tear out whole Hollick-Kenyon ceilings, textured and popcorn types included.

Drywall Removal & Demolition Hollick-Kenyon Edmonton | Tear-Out

Stripping walls and ceilings in Hollick-Kenyon back to framing

Tear-out opens every Hollick-Kenyon project that runs deeper than a patch. In Hollick-Kenyon we remove old drywall from walls and ceilings, strip it back to the studs or framing, haul the debris off site, and leave the space ready for the next stage. Hollick-Kenyon is an Northeast community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so tear-out scopes here range from straightforward newer-home removal to older homes where plaster or extra layers need careful handling. We cover Hollick-Kenyon, Balwin, Bannerman, Belmont and Northeast, 7 days a week.

When demolition uncovers something better left alone

Knob-and-tube, old ducting, structural surprises

Opening walls in an older Hollick-Kenyon home reveals what is actually in them, and it is not always what the last renovation claimed.

How we handle it

We stop at the discovery, photograph it, and give you the options with what each costs. What we will not do is close it up quietly because it is inconvenient — the wall is open now, and that is the cheapest it will ever be to deal with.

What affects the cost of drywall removal in Hollick-Kenyon?

Area, ceiling height and disposal

The cost of tear-out in Hollick-Kenyon depends on the square footage of wall and ceiling coming down, the ceiling height and access, and debris disposal. We assess on site and price it before we start.

What is behind the drywall in Hollick-Kenyon homes

Tear-out scopes here range from straightforward newer-home removal to older homes where plaster or extra layers need careful handling.

Screws, nails and what the framing looks like after

The stage nobody prices

After board comes off a Hollick-Kenyon wall, the framing is left studded with screws, nails and glue residue. New board over that will not sit flat.

Prep is part of removal

Fasteners come out, adhesive is scraped, and any framing damaged during removal is flagged. A demolition that stops at 'the board is off' hands the next trade a problem, and if we are also boarding it, that problem is ours.

Making the space safe overnight

Between demolition and rebuild

An Hollick-Kenyon room stripped to framing has exposed edges, open boxes and sometimes an open ceiling. If the family is still in the house, that gap between days matters.

What we do at the end of a day

Exposed wiring is capped or made safe by the electrician, sharp edges dealt with, debris removed rather than piled, and the containment left intact. It costs a little time each day and it is not optional.

Mould found behind the board

It changes the job

Opening a Hollick-Kenyon wall after a leak frequently reveals mould on the framing or the back of the board. That is a different scope from drywall demolition and it needs the moisture source found first.

What we do

We stop, photograph it, and tell you what we can see. Small surface growth on framing after a fixed leak is often manageable; extensive growth is a remediation job, and pretending otherwise by boarding over it is not something we will do.
