Drywall Removal in Vancouver — Stripped to Studs, Hauled & Dust-Controlled
Wall drywall, ceiling drywall, plaster, lath, bulkheads, and soffits stripped down to framing. Dust-contained, loaded into our bins, and hauled to certified disposal. Serving Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland.
Walls & Ceilings — Stripped Clean & Hauled Away
From standard drywall to old lath and plaster, we strip it, bag it, bin it, and leave you clean studs.
Wall Drywall
Single-layer and double-layer drywall stripped from interior walls down to studs. Screws pulled, corners cleaned, ready for new boarding or insulation.
Ceiling Drywall
Ceiling sheets, textured ceilings (popcorn, knockdown, stipple), and bulkheads removed. We work section by section to control dust and debris fall.
Lath & Plaster
Old plaster walls and wood lath stripped from older Vancouver homes. Heavier, dustier, and more labour-intensive than drywall — our crew handles it efficiently.
Water-Damaged & Mold-Affected
Moisture-damaged drywall cut back to clean material, mold-affected sections bagged and disposed of properly. We document findings for your records.
Dust-Controlled, Efficient, and Hauled Same Day
Drywall removal creates enormous amounts of dust. Without proper containment, gypsum dust coats every surface in the home — HVAC ducts, kitchen appliances, bedroom closets. Our crew sets up dust barriers before the first sheet comes off, and we work wet or with extraction to keep dust levels manageable.
Whether it is a single room, a full-floor strip-out, or an entire home renovation — we demo the drywall, load it into our bins on-site, and haul it the same day.

Drywall Removal in 4 Steps
1. Scope & Quote
We confirm which walls and ceilings need stripping, check for hazards (asbestos, mold), and quote one all-in price — removal, bins, hauling, and cleanup.
2. Containment & Dust Control
Poly sheeting and dust barriers go up at every opening. Floors are protected. HVAC vents are sealed to prevent gypsum dust from spreading.
3. Drywall Strip-Out
Sheets come off, screws get pulled, and debris goes straight into our bins. We work room by room, cleaning as we go.
4. Haul-Away & Broom-Clean
All drywall and plaster debris leaves on our trucks. Studs and joists are exposed, clean, and ready for your insulator or boarder.

Every Kind of Drywall & Plaster Removal
Full Room Strip-Out
All four walls and ceiling stripped to studs and joists. Common for gut renovations, insulation upgrades, and re-framing projects.
Ceiling Drywall Removal
Ceiling sheets, popcorn texture, and bulkheads removed while keeping walls intact. Ideal for pot light installations, structural inspections, and ceiling height changes.
Water-Damaged Drywall
Flood, leak, and moisture-damaged drywall cut back to dry material and disposed. We document the extent of damage for your insurance or contractor.
Lath & Plaster Removal
Old plaster and wood lath from pre-1960s Vancouver homes stripped to framing. Heavier and dustier than modern drywall — we have the crew and bins for it.
How Much Does Drywall Removal Cost in Vancouver?
Drywall removal in Vancouver typically costs between $1,000 and $4,000 depending on square footage, number of layers, and ceiling height. That all-in price covers labour, dust containment, bins, hauling, and broom-clean handoff.
Lath and plaster removal costs more due to weight and labour. Water-damaged sections may add disposal costs. Request a free quote for an accurate price.
