What commercial interior demolition includes

Offices, retail and other commercial interiors taken back to the studs for the remodel. The debris leaves in the same job.

That means the build-out inside the space: partition walls, ceilings, flooring, fixtures, cabinets and the other finishes your remodel is replacing. It is not a claim that we wreck the whole commercial building. If the job is the interior, say so in the photos. If you need the whole structure down, say that too. House and garage demolition are described on the demolition page. This page is the interior of a business.

Offices and shops are the usual calls. A retail floor, a back room, a suite of offices. We also haul commercial junk when the job is stuff rather than a tear-out. That work is junk removal and hauling, scheduled around your hours.

Full strip-out or only part of the suite?

Some suites lose one side: a restroom, a sales floor, a row of offices, while the stockroom and the utilities that serve the rest of the building stay. Other suites are cleared so the contractor starts from a bare interior. Tell us which walls are structural, which built-ins you are reusing, and which rooms are off-limits.

The house version of that choice is written up on interior demolition, including the Ferguson wall removal. This page doesn't repeat it.

Permits on a commercial interior

It depends on the city and on how much is coming out. We'll walk you through what permits your job needs. We're licensed and insured ($3 million policy). We are not a City of St. Louis certified demolition contractor, and we don't pull City of St. Louis demolition permits.

Water, gas and electric serving the area we're cutting have to be shut off and capped before demo. If you share a panel or a meter with a neighbor in the building, say so when you book.

Asbestos testing comes before we cut

We can't take asbestos or other hazardous materials. Testing is handled by an inspector before demolition. We don't do asbestos abatement. If the inspector hasn't cleared the material, we don't start that part of the job.

How much does commercial interior demolition cost in St. Louis?

Labor is quoted per job from photos and a walk-through of what's coming down. A small restroom and a full office gut are not the same number, and we don't publish a price per square foot.

Hauling the debris is priced by the load, from $175 for a quarter of the truck to $655 for a full 17-yard truck. Heavy material, including concrete, adds about $75 per quarter load. See every load price. Examples are typical, not promises — how things stack changes what fits.

Concrete patios and driveways that still need breaking out are quoted as demolition labor. The haul of that concrete is still by the load. Both are described on the main demolition page.

Do you have commercial interior demolition photos?

The tear-out photos on this site today are houses: a room opened up in Ferguson, bathrooms in Webster Groves, Manchester, Ladue and St. Charles, and kitchen tops in Brentwood. They show the same kind of strip-out. They are not commercial jobs, and this page doesn't pretend they are. Read them on interior demolition.

What to send for a commercial quote

Photograph the rooms that are going, the ceiling, the floor, and any wall you need kept. Say whether the business is empty or still open, and which utilities are shared with another suite. We quote labor from those photos. We don't publish a price per square foot, and we don't give a stock timeline.

We're based in Florissant. The service area is St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County. 1,000+ completed jobs since 2023. Hours are Monday through Friday, 7am to 5pm. Email award@stlouishjr.com or call (314) 379-7955. Or send photos of the commercial interior for a quote.
