In the United States, residential interior demolition projects typically range between $550 and $12,000, with the national average cost falling somewhere between $2,000-$4,000.

As with most demolition jobs, the exact size and complexity of your interior demolition project will affect its overall cost.

If performing the demolition yourself, the only costs you'll have to worry about are buying the tools and paying for a dumpster to clean up.

However, these costs can add up to be more than it would to hire a professional to do the work. Not to mention, doing interior demolition yourself can lead to costly problems if you're not experienced in the work.

Of course, the best way to answer how much your interior demolition project will cost is to contact qualified demolition contractors in your area for a customized estimate.
