Selective Demolition
Handled with Care: The Craft of Selective Demolition
Partitions
We remove interior partitions with surgical precision, whether they’re drywall, glass, or modular systems. Our team ensures minimal disruption to surrounding structures, preserving the integrity of adjacent finishes and systems. This careful approach allows for a clean slate, ready for reconfiguration or redesign.
Flooring
From worn-out carpet to intricate hardwood, we remove flooring with attention to detail. Our tile removal process protects subflooring, while wood is carefully lifted for potential reuse. We handle terrazzo with respect for its craftsmanship, dismantle laminate efficiently, and transition vinyl surfaces seamlessly—always leaving a clean foundation for what’s next.
Ceilings
Ceiling removal is done with an eye toward acoustics, aesthetics, and future design. We expertly take down drywall ceilings to open up new possibilities, delicately remove plaster to preserve its artistry, and disassemble metal ceilings with care, maintaining the integrity of the materials.
Tekton’s demolition services are more than just teardown—they’re the first step in transformation. We honor the past while clearing the way for the future, ensuring your space is in skilled hands, ready to evolve into something extraordinary.
