What customers say

“This company is top-notch! We hired them to take all the stuff out of my Mother-in-laws house. They emailed a confirmation, they called 30 minutes before arriving and showed up on time. They knew what they were doing. They were personable and professional.”

Marla Poirier
Estate Cleanouts

“I had Veteran Junk Removal help clean out our old house during a recent move. Eric and Holly were amazing. They came in and made short work of over 7 years and 3 households worth of junk. They even found a good home for a wheelchair and other medical equipment we had no more use for.”

Scott Fernandez
Home Cleanouts

“Prompt, professional and friendly. I hired them to remove some old furniture, treadmill, TV and miscellaneous items from the basement. Highly recommend them and will use them again if the need arises.”

What this covers

What does light demolition in Metro Detroit include?

Light demolition from Veteran Junk Removal covers Metro Detroit and Ann Arbor: kitchen and bathroom tear-outs, drywall removal, and small structures like decks, sheds, and fences. Once the teardown is measured against the truck space it will take to haul away, the crew names that number and confirms it before work starts.

More about light demolition

There's no demolition license behind this crew, so the work stays inside light and interior demolition: pulling out drywall, cabinetry, and fixtures, and tearing down small backyard structures. Anything structural or load-bearing, like a wall holding up the roof, is outside what the crew takes on.

Once the teardown is done, the debris gets carried out and loaded the same way any other job is: drywall, framing, cabinetry, and the pieces of whatever came down. Concrete or masonry that's part of the job is accepted too, priced case by case.

Call or book online to grab a two-hour arrival window, the earliest at 9 to 11 and the latest at 3 to 5, on any day of the week. The crew is out 8am to 8pm, and same-day or next-day slots often open up when the route allows.

What it costs

Priced by truck space, not by the hour

The crew looks at the actual load, gives you one firm number, and you approve it before the first item is lifted. Access and any dismantling are already in that number rather than added at the end.

How a light demolition job runs

Four steps from the first call to a swept-clean space, with the price agreed before anything is lifted.

Step 1

Describe the job

Tell us what's coming down, whether that's a kitchen tear-out or a backyard shed. A photo works too and gives the crew a starting figure before the visit.

Step 2

Pick an arrival window

Call or book online to lock in your two-hour window. Same-day and next-day slots are often available when the route has space.

Step 3

Crew confirms the total

On site, the crew looks at the space and what has to come down, then confirms one total before the teardown starts.

Step 4

Demolition and haul-away

The crew tears down what needs to go and loads the debris into the truck, sending it to donation or recycling whenever possible, wherever a local facility accepts it.

See all FAQs
How much does light demolition cost in Metro Detroit?
Every demolition job is priced on its own, because the size of the space and how hard it is to reach both change the total. The crew walks the space, sees what's coming down, and figures out how much of the truck the debris will take, then names one number covering the work and the haul-away.
Do I need a permit for light demolition?
Permit requirements are set locally, so the answer depends on your city and the size of the tear-out; check with your local building department before scheduling. This crew doesn't hold a demolition license and doesn't file permit paperwork, but once you know what your city needs, the crew handles the teardown and haul-away.
What won't the crew take on?
Anything holding up the house itself, like a load-bearing wall, the roof structure, or the foundation, stays outside what this crew handles. Light and interior demolition, drywall removal, and small backyard structures like decks, sheds, and fences are all well within scope for this crew.
How long does a light demolition job take?
It depends on the size of the space and how it needs to be reached. A single wall of drywall comes down faster than a full bathroom tear-out or a shed with a tight path to the truck. Either way, the time is part of the total confirmed before the crew starts.
What happens to the debris afterward?
What comes off in a light demolition job is treated the same as anything else the crew hauls: donated or recycled whenever possible, wherever a local facility takes it, with the remainder going to standard disposal. Cabinetry and fixtures go the same way as drywall, framing, and general job debris.
Why Veteran Junk Removal for light demolition?
Because someone from the crew looks at the actual space before a number gets attached to the job, rather than throwing out a range on the phone. The company is based in Taylor, veteran-owned, and fully insured. The total is set by the truck space the debris fills, and you approve it before the teardown begins.
