Interior strip-outs.
A strip-out takes a kitchen, bathroom, basement or whole floor back to the studs so the renovation that follows starts on a clean site. Dust walls up, floors protected, water and power isolated by a licensed trade before the first fixture comes out.
On the ticket.
Dust containment at every doorway and return-air grille
Floor protection on the route from the work area to the bin
Water and power isolated by a licensed trade
Fixtures, cabinets, finishes, drywall, ceilings, flooring and insulation out
Bins swapped as they fill so nothing sits in your driveway
Nails pulled, floors swept, a walk-through with photos on the last day
Lines, not guesses.
| Driver | What we look at |
|---|---|
| Floor area coming out | Square footage of the rooms going back to the studs. |
| What the walls are made of | Plaster and lath weighs more than drywall and comes off in pieces. |
| Storeys and access | Every floor above grade and every hand-carry to the bin adds labour. |
| Bins and tipping | Bins fill by weight before they look full; the count sets the line. |
The number comes from a 30 minute site walk. Asbestos survey and hazardous materials are quoted separately.
Paper first.
- For a non-structural strip-out, usually no permit, but the renovation that follows will need one.
- Any wall that carries load needs a permit before it comes out.
- Pre-1990 buildings: a designated-substances survey comes first (O. Reg. 278/05).
The plates on every truck: WSIB, insurance, demolition permits, asbestos survey, utility locates, crew training.
A typical strip-out runs three days: contain and disconnect, strip to the studs, sweep and sign off. Durations shown as typical for a [n] sq ft basement; Kam confirms.
For a non-structural strip-out, usually no, but the renovation that follows will need one, and any wall that carries load needs a permit before it comes out. We tell you which applies at the site walk.
Yes. Tell us at the site walk what stays and we mark it before the first cut.
