What the work looks like in Riverside South
Most of Riverside South was built from the late 1990s onward. That means very few surprises behind the walls and almost no asbestos questions, so most jobs go straight from site visit to a scheduled date.
The most common job is a basement: builder-grade drywall and carpet coming out so the owner can finish it properly, often around a bathroom rough-in. Newer homes still have live wiring and plumbing in the walls, so your electrician and plumber make the work area safe before we open up.
Most homes here were built from the late 1990s onward, so asbestos is rarely a concern for interior work. More about Riverside South

Before work starts in Riverside South
An interior strip-out does not need its own demolition permit; the City’s demolition page lists non-load-bearing interior partitions as exempt. The renovation that follows often needs a building permit, especially if walls, plumbing or structure change, so have it applied for before we start.
Almost all of Riverside South was built after 1990, so a hazardous materials survey is rarely needed. For renovation work, your building permit is usually the main paperwork.
Any building from before 1990 gets a hazardous materials survey first. If it finds asbestos or other designated substances, abatement is referred to licensed specialists, and our crew starts after the clearance letter.
Disposal
Torn out. Hauled out.
Every job ends ready for the next trade. Here is where the debris goes.
Drywall, plaster, tile, cabinets and flooring are bagged or carted out daily. Metal is pulled for scrap, and mixed debris goes to a licensed sorting facility rather than straight to landfill.
On larger jobs, a roll-off bin from a licensed bin company sits on your property, and the bin company hauls it away and handles the tipping at its own facility.
On smaller jobs our crew loads our own trucks and hauls to the Tomlinson Waste Recovery Centre at 106 Westhunt Drive in Carp, which sorts mixed construction and demolition debris for recycling and accepts commercial loads.
Most Riverside South jobs are small enough to load straight to our trucks, so no bin sits on your driveway for a week.

Asbestos & permits
We don’t touch asbestos. That’s the point.
Some demolition companies will tell you they do it all. We do the demolition, and we make sure the steps before it happen in the right order, by the right people: survey first, licensed abatement, then us.
Read the asbestos and permit FAQ- Built before 1990? Ontario law puts the onus on the owner to identify designated substances before a contract is signed. That means a designated-substances survey.
- Survey finds asbestos? A licensed abatement contractor removes it, and you get a clearance letter.
- Utilities and permit. Gas, hydro, water and sewer disconnected where needed. Enbridge alone takes about 44 days, so it gets requested first.
- Then we demolish. No change orders for surprise asbestos, no stop-work orders, no crew exposed.
FAQ
Interior strip-outs & full guts in Riverside South: questions
Do newer homes need a hazardous materials survey?
Homes built after 1990 rarely contain asbestos materials, and most of Riverside South is newer than that. We confirm the build year at the site visit.
Can you work while we live in the house?
Yes. We seal the work area with poly walls, cover the floor path to the door, seal the furnace returns and finish with a shop-vac every day.
How soon can you start?
Book a site visit and we send a written quote with proposed dates. Interior jobs in newer homes need little lead time once the quote is signed.
Do you remove decks ahead of pool installs?
Yes. Give us the pool company’s dig date and we clear the deck, shed and pads before it.
