Remove What No Longer Belongs Inside

Light demolition services for remodeling and renovation projects in Missoula.

When you plan to remodel a kitchen, open up a wall, or replace outdated fixtures in Missoula, the first step usually involves tearing out what is already there. Cabinets, drywall, tile, and old flooring do not remove themselves, and doing it carefully protects the parts of your home you want to keep intact. Los Lobos Painting & Maintenance provides light demolition services for residential and light commercial spaces in Missoula, removing interior materials and fixtures to prepare your space for framing, painting, or new installations.

We handle removal of drywall, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, baseboards, and similar interior materials. We work with containment methods like plastic sheeting and dust barriers to protect surrounding rooms from debris and dust. This service works well before major remodeling begins, during phased renovation projects, or when you need prep work done before contractors arrive to rebuild or refinish.

If you have a demolition project coming up in Missoula, reach out to discuss what needs to be removed and how we can help.

How we remove materials without damaging surrounding areas

We start by setting up containment barriers in Missoula homes to keep dust and debris from spreading into rooms you are still using. Plastic sheeting, tape, and drop cloths go up before we begin removing materials. We use hand tools, pry bars, reciprocating saws, and hammers to carefully pull out fixtures, drywall, and flooring without causing unnecessary damage to studs, subfloors, or adjacent walls.

After removal, you will see a cleared space ready for the next phase of your project, whether that means new framing, drywall installation, or surface prep for painting. Debris is bagged, loaded, and hauled away as part of the service, so your space stays as clean as demolition work allows.

We focus on light demolition, which means removing interior materials and fixtures, not structural work or major load-bearing modifications. If your project requires engineering, permits, or heavy equipment, we can recommend contractors better suited for that scope of work.

Common questions before demolition work begins

Homeowners in Missoula often want to know what counts as light demolition, how long it takes, and whether we handle cleanup afterward, so here are answers to the most common questions.

What types of materials do you remove during light demolition?
We remove drywall, cabinets, countertops, flooring, baseboards, and similar interior fixtures. We do not handle structural changes, load-bearing walls, or heavy equipment work.
How do you protect areas that are not being demolished?
We use plastic sheeting, tape, and drop cloths to contain dust and debris before starting work. This keeps surrounding rooms cleaner and limits the spread of demolition mess.
How long does light demolition take?
Most single-room demolition projects in Missoula take one to two days depending on the materials involved and how much needs to be removed. Larger spaces or multiple rooms take longer.
Do you haul away debris after demolition is finished?
Yes, we bag and load debris into our truck and handle disposal as part of the service. You do not need to arrange separate hauling or dumpster rental.
Can you work on occupied homes during demolition?
Yes, we regularly work in occupied homes in Missoula and take steps to contain dust, limit noise when possible, and clean up daily so you can continue living in other parts of the house.
