Bathroom Demo in Sturtevant

Professional Bathroom Demo Services for Sturtevant Homes

Sturtevant bathrooms often feature dated tile work, cast-iron plumbing, and drywall that can harbor moisture damage from Wisconsin's humid summers and freeze-thaw winters. Homes in subdivisions like Amerada and near Sunset Park frequently need full bathroom demo before renovation, especially in properties built before 1990. We understand Sturtevant's permit requirements-including building permits for bathrooms (typically $150-$250 from the Village of Sturtevant) and HOA approval for some neighborhoods. Our licensed demo crews remove all fixtures, separate recyclable materials like copper pipe and aluminum trim, and haul debris same-day.

A typical full bathroom demo in Sturtevant takes 2-3 days, depending on square footage and fixture complexity. We start with water and gas shutoff, remove all wall-mounted and floor-mounted fixtures, demo tile and grout (using dust containment), cut out and remove drywall to studs if needed, and haul all materials in our trucks. Most Sturtevant homeowners see project costs between $1,200 and $2,800 for a standard 5x8-foot bathroom, depending on fixture count and whether you need asbestos testing (common in pre-1980s homes). We handle permit paperwork, coordinate with inspectors, and ensure your bathroom space is demo-ready for contractor handoff within 3-5 business days.

Our Bathroom Demo Process in Sturtevant

1

Initial Inspection & Permit Planning

We visit your Sturtevant home, assess bathroom size and fixture count, identify potential hazards (asbestos, lead paint), and prepare permit paperwork for the Village of Sturtevant. This takes 1-2 days and costs $0 for our estimate.

2

Water, Gas & Electrical Shutdown

Licensed technician locates and shuts off water supply, gas line (if applicable), and electrical circuits serving the bathroom. This safety step takes 1-2 hours and is non-negotiable for Sturtevant properties.

3

Fixture Removal & Debris Sorting

We remove all toilets, vanities, mirrors, and hardware; sort recyclables (copper, aluminum, porcelain); and bag or bin remaining debris. Standard bathroom takes 8-12 hours; we sort materials for local Sturtevant recycling facilities.

4

Flooring, Tile & Drywall Demo

Using dust containment barriers, we demo tile and grout (4-6 hours), remove flooring to subfloor, and demo drywall if needed (additional 4-8 hours). Final haul-out happens within 24 hours of completion.
