Before you haul it yourself

Drywall debris is one of the messiest, heaviest parts of any renovation. Here's why most people leave the haul-out to a crew that does it every day.

Heavier than it looks

A single sheet of wet or double-layer drywall can top 100 lbs. Our crew lifts and loads it safely.

Dust & silica exposure

Cutting and bagging drywall throws gypsum and silica dust. We come equipped to handle it.

Disposal limits & fees

Many transfer stations charge by weight and restrict loose drywall. We sort and haul to the right facility.

Hidden nails & sharp edges

Demo debris is full of screws, nails, and jagged board. Insured pros avoid the injuries.

How drywall removal works

Four steps from booking to a broom-clean room — the same process our construction crews follow on every job.

Drywall removal FAQ

Common questions from contractors, remodelers, and homeowners.

How much does drywall removal cost in Chicago?

Drywall haul-away is volume-based. Small jobs start around $150, and most renovation loads fall in the $250–$600 range depending on how much truck space the debris fills. We confirm a firm price on-site before loading.

Do you tear out the drywall or just haul it away?

Both. We haul debris you've already demoed, and our crew can also do the light demo — pulling sheets off the studs, bagging, and clearing the room. Just let us know the scope when you book.

Do you remove plaster, lath, and insulation too?

Yes. Along with drywall we take old plaster and wood lath, fiberglass and foam insulation, nails, screws, and the rest of the wall debris from your renovation.

Can you handle water-damaged or moldy drywall?

Yes — we remove water-damaged and moldy board and bag it for proper disposal. For active mold remediation we'll coordinate with your restoration contractor on safe handling.

Will you clean up the dust and debris?

We load every piece, sweep up the bulk of the debris and dust, and leave the space broom-clean and ready for your next step.

Do you offer same-day or contractor scheduling?

Often yes. Call (888) 308-7556 for same-day or next-day pickup, and ask about recurring scheduling and invoicing for contractors and remodelers.

More than drywall to clear? Drywall removal is one part of our full construction debris removal service. Tearing out a whole room or job site? We haul lumber, tile, flooring, insulation, concrete, and more in one trip.
