Interior & Selective Demolition in Central Illinois

Insured — Certificate of Insurance emailed before we roll in. No surprises, no runaround.

A good remodel starts with a clean slate. Before the new kitchen, the finished basement, or the rehab goes in, the old guts have to come out — drywall, flooring, cabinets, trim, fixtures, sometimes a whole wall — without tearing the building down around it. That's interior demolition, and it's its own kind of work.

Quick Answer

Where can I get a free estimate for an interior demolition or gut job?

Right here — call (217) 809-0779. Levi walks the space with you and hands you one itemized number. Free, no obligation, inside 60 miles of Mattoon, IL.

Brohez Trucking LLC handles interior demolition and selective demolition across central Illinois — remodel strip-outs, gut-a-house tear-outs, basement and garage interiors, and careful selective removal where most of the structure stays put. Residential, farm, or light commercial — and when the whole building needs to go instead, that's our commercial demolition work.

This isn't a job where you just swing the machine. It's measured work — protecting what stays, pulling what goes, and keeping the structure sound the whole way through. The Takeuchi skid steer and crew get into tight interiors; dump trucks haul the debris straight to a proper disposal site. From cluttered shell to clean studs is one job, one contractor.

If a wall's load-bearing or there's anything structural in the way, we tell you up front and plan around it. We're also straight about what's in an older building before we start, including any signs of asbestos in old flooring or ceilings.

Older Interiors & Asbestos — The Plain-English Version

Buildings put up before about 1980 can carry asbestos in old floor tile, mastic, popcorn ceilings, or pipe wrap — exactly the stuff a tear-out disturbs. It's manageable, it just has to be handled the right way, not ripped out and ignored.

An interior tear-out is a renovation, and the rule there is decided by the building, not its age. Inside a single-family home there's no NESHAP survey and no IEPA notification. Inside a commercial, institutional or agricultural building, a survey is required, and the IEPA notification kicks in once the regulated material a tear-out would disturb crosses the threshold amount. We coordinate both and don't cut corners on it. It's worth confirming the specifics with your local IEPA office, and we'll point you the right direction.

Our Interior Demolition Process

Every interior is different. The careful approach doesn't change.

STEP 01

Walk-Through & Estimate

We walk the space with you, mark what comes out and what stays, flag anything structural, and give you a straight number. No pressure.

STEP 02

Permits & Utilities

We help sort any required permit and make sure power, gas, water, and HVAC are capped or killed to the areas we're tearing into.

STEP 03

Protect What Stays

Before anything comes out, we protect the framing, finished areas, and anything load-bearing that's supposed to stand when we're done.

STEP 04

Selective Tear-Out

We pull drywall, flooring, cabinets, trim, and fixtures in order — careful and selective — so the structure stays sound the whole way through.

STEP 05

Separate & Haul Debris

Drywall, lumber, flooring, and fixtures get separated where it makes sense, loaded on dump trucks, and hauled to a proper disposal site.

STEP 06

Clean Hand-Off

We sweep it out and walk you through the finished space — bare and clean, ready for your remodel crew to start building back.

What is interior demolition?

Interior demolition means stripping out the inside of a building — walls, flooring, cabinets, drywall, ceilings, fixtures — while leaving the structure itself standing. It's the first step on a lot of remodels and rehabs, getting the space back to bare studs and a clean slate for the next crew. Call (217) 809-0779.

Can you gut a house down to the studs?

Yes. We do full gut-outs — pulling drywall, plaster, flooring, cabinets, trim, and fixtures down to the bare framing so your remodel can start fresh. We work clean, separate the debris, and haul it off. You're left with an empty shell ready to build back.

What is selective demolition?

Selective demolition is careful, targeted removal — taking out only the parts you want gone while protecting everything that stays. That means removing a wall, a room, or a section without disturbing the rest of the structure. We plan it so what's supposed to stand, stays standing.

Will the structure stay standing during a tear-out?

Yes — that's the whole point of interior and selective demolition. We strip out the inside and leave the building shell, frame, and anything load-bearing intact. If a wall is structural, we tell you and plan around it so nothing gets compromised.

Do you do basement and garage interior tear-outs?

Yes. We strip out finished basements, garage interiors, and outbuildings — paneling, framing, old fixtures, flooring, and built-ins removed and hauled. Tight access is no problem; the skid steer and crew get in and clean it out.

Do you haul off the tear-out debris?

Yes. Cleanup is part of the job. Drywall, lumber, flooring, cabinets, and fixtures get separated where it makes sense, loaded on dump trucks, and hauled to a proper disposal site. We leave the space swept-clean and ready for the next phase.

Should I worry about asbestos in an older interior?

Sometimes. Buildings from before about 1980 may carry asbestos in old flooring, tile, mastic, popcorn ceilings, or pipe wrap. What decides the paperwork is the building, not its age: an interior tear-out inside a single-family home needs no NESHAP survey and no IEPA notification, while inside a commercial, institutional or agricultural building a survey is required and the notification kicks in once the regulated material a tear-out would disturb crosses the threshold amount. We coordinate both.
