What the price covers

In the scope

  • Selective strip: Flooring, damaged subfloor sections, cabinets, fixtures, damaged VOG panels
  • Full gut: To the frame and studs, including ceiling panels and all mechanical rough-in
  • Debris handling: Roll-off staged on the lot or a dedicated haul vehicle, removed on completion
  • Not included: Asbestos or lead abatement, which requires a licensed abatement contractor

Not in the scope

  • Anything not written in the scope. Extra work found on site is raised as a written change order before it is done.

What interior demolition actually covers

Demolition in a manufactured housing community is almost never the whole home. It is a controlled strip-out that takes a unit back to a sound shell so the rest of the turn can start. Three depths cover nearly every job.

Selective strip removes flooring, failed subfloor sections, cabinets, fixtures and any wall panelling that will not clean up. It is the standard front end of a make-ready.

Full interior gut takes everything back to the frame and the studs — ceiling panels, all wall finishes, the kitchen and bath in their entirety, and the mechanical rough-in where it is being replaced. This is what a home needs when the damage is structural or when the unit has been sitting open.

Selective structural demolition removes a specific failed assembly — a rotted floor section over a leaking supply line, a wall opened to replace framing — without disturbing the rest of the home.

The sequencing decision that costs money

Demolition is where the rest of the turn gets set up or sabotaged. Two things routinely go wrong.

The first is opening a home before anyone has looked underneath it. If the belly wrap is torn and the insulation is soaked, the subfloor that looks salvageable during demolition will be soft again in a season. Belly wrap and insulation is a separate scope for a reason, and it belongs before flooring, not after — see belly wrap and insulation.

The second is stripping more than the scope needs. On a portfolio programme the extra time per unit is invisible on any single home and adds up across a community.

What we need from you to price it

A unit list with the strip depth you want, or photographs from a walk and we will tell you which depth each home needs. Where a community has a mix — and most do — we price the depths separately rather than averaging them, because averaging is how a make-ready budget quietly becomes a remodel budget.

Debris volume is the other variable. A full gut on a 16×80 generates meaningfully more than a selective strip, and if the community has no space to stage a roll-off, the haul cost changes.

How the job runs

  1. Walk-through

    We walk the job with you in person and look at what is actually there.

  2. Written scope

    A written scope and price before any work starts, priced as shown above.

  3. The work

    Our own crews do it, to the written scope. Anything extra is a written change order first.

  4. Final walk-through

    We walk it again with you and close out anything on the punch list.

Common questions

Only what is failing. A make-ready strip removes flooring, any soft subfloor, damaged wall panels, and fixtures at end of life. Pulling sound cabinets or intact panelling adds a day and a materials line without adding rent.

It leaves with the crew. Debris staged at the lot line for a later pickup is the most common resident complaint on a renovation programme, and it is the fastest way for a community manager to stop wanting your crews on site.

Full home demolition and removal is a different scope from interior strip-out, and in Texas it engages licensing that interior work does not. Ask us before you assume it is the same job.

No. Both require a licensed abatement contractor, and the testing should happen before demolition is scheduled rather than after a crew has opened a wall. Homes from the 1970s and early 1980s are the ones to test.

W-9, written safety programme and certificates of insurance (GL and workers’ comp): being prepared. What is published so far is on vendor credentials.
