Selective Residential Demolition in South Portland, ME

Selective demolition means removing only the materials that need to come out for the remodel (like cabinets, tile, drywall, or flooring) while protecting the parts of the home that stay. It’s a cleaner, more controlled approach than full teardown.

We can coordinate debris handling as part of the project plan. Tell us what’s being removed and how the debris needs to be handled, and we’ll recommend the most practical approach for your job.

Sometimes—depending on whether a wall is load-bearing and what utilities run through it. If structural changes are involved, the project may require engineering guidance and permits. We’ll help you plan a safe, code-appropriate approach.

Dust control depends on the scope, but we plan the work area, protect nearby finishes when needed, and keep the jobsite organized so dust and debris don’t spread unnecessarily.

If demolition impacts fixtures, outlets, lights, or plumbing, shutoffs/disconnects may be needed. We’ll review this during the walkthrough so the project starts safely.
