Bathroom Demo in Royal Oak

Professional Bathroom Demo for Royal Oak Homes & Renovations

Royal Oak's tree-lined neighborhoods-from historic Edgemont Park to upscale Normandy Woods-feature homes built between 1920 and 1980, meaning most bathrooms contain asbestos drywall tape, lead-painted fixtures, and outdated plumbing that requires expert demo. Our licensed crew understands Royal Oak's strict building permits (required for any bathroom alteration over 25% of wall area) and works directly with the city to secure your $150-$300 demo permit before we swing a hammer. We've removed everything from original pedestal sinks in Craftsman cottages near downtown Royal Oak to oversized jetted tubs in newer Construction in the Meadowbrook Country Club area.

A complete bathroom demo in Royal Oak typically takes 3-5 business days depending on fixture complexity and asbestos remediation needs. Our process begins with a walk-through to identify hazardous materials (common in pre-1980 Royal Oak bathrooms), then we systematically remove vanities, toilets, tubs, shower units, tile, drywall, and flooring-hauling up to 12 tons of debris per project. We leave your bathroom down to the studs, ready for your contractor's rough-in plumbing and electrical work. All debris is sorted for recycling where possible; scrap copper and cast iron are separated for salvage value. Most Royal Oak homeowners see their project completed on schedule because we bring the right equipment and crew size from day one-no stretched timelines.

Signs You Need Bathroom Demo in Royal Oak

  • Cracked or chipped tile that suggests settling in your Royal Oak foundation (common in Edgemont Park homes)

Our Bathroom Demo Process in Royal Oak

1

Free On-Site Inspection & Permit Planning

We visit your Royal Oak bathroom, identify asbestos or hazmat, measure square footage, and confirm whether a city permit is required (most are). This takes 30 minutes and costs nothing. We then submit your permit application to Royal Oak City Hall; approval typically takes 5-7 business days.

2

Containment & Hazmat Identification

Day 1 of demo: we seal off your bathroom with plastic sheeting, set up dust barriers, and conduct final walkthroughs. If asbestos is detected, we coordinate with a licensed abatement contractor (adds 2-3 days). Standard demo proceeds immediately once hazmat is cleared.

3

Demolition & Debris Sorting

Days 2-4: our crew removes fixtures, tile, drywall, and flooring. All debris is sorted into recyclable (copper, aluminum, tile) and landfill streams. We haul 8-12 tons per typical Royal Oak bathroom and leave the space sweep-clean with plastic floor protection in place.

4

Final Walkthrough & Closeout

Day 5: we verify all debris is removed, take final photos for your renovation contractor, and confirm the space is ready for plumbing rough-in. We provide a itemized invoice and haul-away receipt for your records.

Recent Project

Recent Bathroom Demo Project in Royal Oak, Michigan

In June 2024, we completed a full bathroom demolition for a 1,200-sq-ft colonial in the Normandy Woods subdivision of Royal Oak. The homeowner was renovating a 60-year-old master bath with original cast-iron plumbing, asbestos-wrapped supply lines, and embedded tile. Our crew identified asbestos during the initial inspection; we coordinated licensed abatement (3 days), then completed full demolition in 4 additional days, removing 10 tons of mixed debris and leaving the space studs-only and ready for new framing. Total timeline: 7 days from permit approval to final walkthrough. Cost to homeowner: $2,100 for demo and hauling.
