aMaximum Construction provides professional demolition that is safe, clean and thorough across Toronto and the GTA — whether it's a single room strip-out or a full structural teardown ahead of a rebuild.

Our Approach to Demolition

Every demolition project begins with a site assessment: identifying structural elements to preserve, locating utilities to disconnect or protect, and testing for hazardous materials (asbestos, lead paint) in older structures. Only after this assessment does demolition begin. This order matters — cutting into an unknown wall is how people hit live wiring, water lines or asbestos-wrapped pipe.

Containment and Dust Control

Interior demolition in occupied homes requires careful dust and debris containment. We use plastic sheeting barriers, negative air pressure when needed, and daily cleanup to minimize disruption to the rest of your home during renovation projects. Containment is the difference between demolition you barely notice and a fine layer of grit on every surface in the house.

Responsible Disposal

Demolition generates significant waste. aMaximum Construction arranges proper disposal — separating materials for recycling where possible (concrete, metal, wood) and ensuring hazardous materials are disposed of through certified channels. Diverting clean material from landfill is both better for the environment and often cheaper than mixed-waste tipping fees.

75%+ The share of construction and demolition debris that can typically be diverted from landfill through proper sorting and recycling.

Integrated With Renovation Projects

When demolition is the first phase of a larger demolition and renovation project, proper execution here saves time and money throughout. We demolish exactly what needs to come out, protect what stays, and leave a clean site ready for the next phase of work — no surprises for the trades that follow.

What Demolition Costs

Pricing depends on scope and disposal. Interior strip-outs of a single room or basement typically run $3,000–$10,000. Structural or whole-house demolition can reach $15,000–$40,000+, and asbestos or lead abatement adds to the total when older materials are present. A site assessment gives you a firm, itemized number before any work starts.
