Interior demolition removes the inside of a building in Los Angeles while the structure stays standing. We take out kitchens, bathrooms, walls, flooring and ceilings, down to bare studs when the plan calls for it. Anything that stays gets covered before a tool comes out, from wood floors to the front walkway. The debris comes out by hand, room by room, and leaves on our own trucks.
This company was founded in 1994, and every job still gets a free in-person estimate. We run multiple crews out of a truck yard in the South Bay, with our own trucks and equipment. For twenty years we held City of Los Angeles contracts on foreclosed and abandoned properties. The line painted on our trucks since the nineties still fits: It's All About Service.

Most of our work happens in houses people still live in, or plan to move back into after the remodel. A full strip out takes a room back to bare studs and subfloor. Cabinets, tile, drywall and trim come out in pieces small enough to carry, over floors we cover first. If the whole structure is coming down instead, that job is house demolition, and we do that too.
Selective demolition means we cut only what the plan calls for, and we stop at the line. Your contractor or designer marks the walls, and we open them without chewing up the finishes beside them. We check for wiring and pipe before the saw goes in, and stop when something looks live. Crews sign NDAs on high-profile homes, so quiet work and no talk about the job is normal for us.
Interior work usually needs a permit from LADBS, and your contractor pulls it along with the remodel plans. Pulling cabinets or a non-bearing wall carries lighter paperwork than opening up structure does. Removing a bearing wall gets reviewed by the city before anyone swings a hammer. We work with whoever holds the permit, and we start the day the paperwork is in hand.
South Coast AQMD Rule 1403 calls for an asbestos survey of the work area before any demolition or renovation, done by a surveyor certified by Cal/OSHA. Small renovations in a single-unit home that remove less than 100 square feet of asbestos-containing material are exempt from the survey. Old floor tile, mastic, popcorn ceilings and duct wrap are the common places it hides. When asbestos has to come out, a licensed abatement crew removes it and the AQMD notification rules apply. We schedule our part around that so your remodel keeps its start date.
Our trucks run the Westside every week: Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades. Our crews are working in the Pacific Palisades fire area now, on fire-damaged homes and lots. Our yard sits in the South Bay, which puts Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach and San Pedro close. We take jobs down to Long Beach, and the full list is on our service areas page.
Estimates are free, and an estimator comes out to look at the space before we quote. Call 310-546-4855 and tell us what is coming out and how the house sits on the lot. We check truck access and the path our crews will use to carry the debris out. Then you get a price and a start date your remodel crew can build around.
Free, no-obligation estimates across the Westside and South Bay.

Tell us what needs to come down, come out or get hauled off. A few photos help. We cover the Westside and South Bay, Beverly Hills to Long Beach.
The estimate happens at the property, free. We check the structure, the access and where the trucks will sit, then give you one number for the whole job.
Multiple crews, our own trucks and equipment. The teardown, the loading and the hauling stay with one company, so the schedule holds.
Debris goes out on our trucks to licensed facilities. We sweep the street, clear the drive and leave the property ready for whatever comes next.

View DetailsSouthwest Hauling was founded in 1994, and every job still gets priced in person. The slogan on the trucks has not changed since: It's All About Service. Same owner, same phone number, same standard.
Our own trucks and equipment do the loading and the hauling. Debris leaves on our schedule, not a bin company's. The teardown and the haul-off are one job and one price.
Twenty years of City of Los Angeles contracts clearing foreclosed and vacant properties. That work runs on deadlines and documentation, and the habit stuck. Sites get finished, not abandoned.
Much of our work sits behind gates on the Westside, and NDAs are routine. Crews park where you say, keep the site tidy and do not talk about whose property they are on.
