GET A FREE ESTIMATE →Demolition looks straightforward until someone does it wrong. Dust spread through the house, drywall debris left behind, accidental damage to framing or adjacent surfaces — these are the problems that come from demo work that was not done carefully. At JCT Drywall, demo is part of the job we have been doing for over 30 years, and we treat it with the same attention as the finish work.
We handle drywall demolition throughout Clearwater and Pinellas County for remodeling projects, mold remediation, flood recovery, and renovation work where old drywall needs to come out before new work can go in. We work in residential homes, rentals, commercial spaces, and new construction where existing drywall is being replaced.
Our demo process starts with protecting the areas adjacent to the work. We set up containment where needed, cover floors, and take precautions to keep drywall dust from spreading into the rest of the home or building. In situations involving mold or suspected asbestos in older popcorn ceilings, we coordinate with the appropriate testing and remediation professionals before proceeding.
Once demo is underway, we remove drywall sections cleanly, pulling nails and screws from framing as we go. Leaving fasteners in framing creates problems for the next person hanging new board. We inspect framing as it is exposed and note any issues we find — damaged studs, signs of moisture intrusion, or blocking that needs to be added — so the installation phase can proceed without surprises.
All drywall debris is bagged and hauled off the site. When we leave, the framing is clean and ready. You should not have to clean up after a drywall demolition crew. We have built that standard into how we work, and it is one of the reasons contractors and homeowners in Pinellas County call us back for project after project.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you haul away the debris?
Yes. Full debris removal is included in our demolition work. We bag the material and remove it from the site. You will not need a separate dumpster or haul-away service for the drywall portion of a project.
Can you do demolition-only without the installation?
Yes. If you just need drywall removed and are having someone else install the new board, we can handle demo only. We quote it clearly and leave the space ready for the next contractor.
What if there is mold behind the drywall?
If we find mold during demolition, we stop and communicate with you before proceeding. Active mold requires remediation by a licensed mold specialist before new drywall can be installed. We work alongside remediation crews and return to do the reinstallation once the space has been cleared and dried.
My home was built in the 1970s — do I need to worry about asbestos in the drywall?
Drywall joint compound from before the mid-1970s may contain asbestos. If your home was built before 1980 and the existing drywall has not been tested, we recommend testing before demo begins. We can advise on who to contact for testing in Pinellas County.
