Bathroom demolition in Johnstown

Liberty Junk Removal does bathroom demolition in Johnstown and the Northern Colorado towns around it. They tear the old bathroom out and haul every piece away, so the room is bare when the new tile and fixtures show up. It's a small room full of heavy things. Old tile comes off the wall with mortar still stuck to the back, and the tub, vanity and toilet all have to leave through one narrow door. Homeowners book it ahead of a remodel. Property managers book it when a rental's bathroom is getting redone.

This is the job when the old bathroom is still in place. If someone already did the tear-out and the pieces are piled in the garage, only the haul is left, and that's construction debris removal. If the remodel spreads past the bathroom door into a hallway or a bedroom, that part is interior demolition, and it can be quoted along with the bathroom. The rest of the tear-out work is gathered on the Johnstown demolition contractor page.

What goes on the truck

• Old vanity and sink
• The old toilet
• Floor and wall tile
• Tub or shower surround
• Mirror and medicine cabinet
• Backer board and drywall
• Shower door and towel bars
• Old metal pipe

These are the usual pieces on this kind of job, not the whole list.

From the full list of what goes on the truck: demolition and structures.

What comes out in a bathroom demolition?

The fixtures come out, along with the surfaces around them. In a typical bathroom that's the vanity and sink, the toilet, the mirror or medicine cabinet, the floor and wall tile, the tub or shower surround, and the backer board or drywall behind the tile. The shower door and the towel bars come down too. None of it has to be bagged or boxed ahead of time, broken tile included.

Tile setters and plumbers want an empty room on their start date. With the tear-out usually the next day, a photo sent as soon as that date is set leaves some slack in the schedule. If the old bathroom door is going too, put it in the photo. It counts as demolition debris and old structures and leaves with the bathroom.

Where do the old vanity and tile go?

Anything that can be used again goes to donation first. A vanity with no water damage, a mirror still in one piece or boxes of tile left sealed from the last remodel go to Habitat for Humanity or a thrift store. Say in your text which pieces are in good shape, so they get set aside from the broken tile.

Metal comes out of the pile and gets recycled as scrap, like a steel or cast iron tub, a run of old pipe or the towel bars. What's left after that is real trash. Tile with mortar on the back, crumbled backer board and water-stained drywall can't be reused once it's off the wall, so it goes to the landfill. On a bathroom job that's usually the heaviest share of the load.

Do I have to help carry the old bathroom out?

No. It's common to assume the old toilet has to be sitting on the driveway, or that you'll be carrying buckets of tile out to the truck. Neither is on you. Liberty Junk Removal makes every trip to the truck, down the stairs from a second-floor bath or up the steps from a basement one, and a half bath off the kitchen gets the same treatment as the main bathroom upstairs.

After booking, there's a one-hour arrival window and an ETA, and they keep you posted until they get there. That's useful when a property manager is running the job and can't spend the day parked in the rental. When the room is bare, they let you know, so the next trade can be booked.

How much does bathroom demolition cost?

Bathroom demolition starts at the $125 minimum. Beyond that, the price depends on how much truck space the tub, tile and drywall fill once they're out. Loading, hauling and disposal are part of it, and dump fees aren't billed on their own. You can get the quote from a photo of the room or from an in-person look.

Text a photo to (970) 634-6969 from the doorway, with the whole room in the frame, tub and all. Add a close shot of anything behind a door, like a linen cabinet that's coming out as well. If part of the room is staying, like the tub, say so in the text so it's left out of the quote.

Will you take the paint and cleaners from under the bathroom sink?

Paint, yes, with empty cans preferred and an extra fee on full ones. A bathroom usually hides a little of both paint and chemicals. That means the touch-up can from the last paint job, the drain opener, the grout sealer and the spray bottles under the sink. The touch-up can goes. The drain opener, sealer and sprays cost an extra fee, so mention them in your text. Medical or biohazard waste stays behind, which in a bathroom can mean used needles or sharps left in the medicine cabinet.

Clear the vanity and the shelf over the toilet before the tear-out. Ask about any bottle you're not sure of when you send the photo.

Do you do bathroom demolition outside Johnstown?

Yes. Home base is Johnstown, in Weld County, and the bathroom work reaches well past it into Northern Colorado. Debris from a bathroom remodel in Fort Collins is one of the jobs the owner brings up. Greeley, Loveland, Longmont and Windsor are in range as well, and so are smaller towns like Milliken, Severance and Lochbuie.

The full set of towns is on the list of places Liberty Junk Removal works. Work runs from 7 AM to 6 PM every day of the week, weekends included. In a house with only one bathroom, it helps to book the tear-out close to the day the new fixtures go in, so the stretch without a working toilet stays short.

How the price works

Text a photo of what needs to go to (970) 634-6969. Liberty Junk Removal looks at how much room it takes on the truck and texts back a quote for the whole job. The quote holds unless the job turns out bigger than the photo showed. No hourly rate. Jobs start at $125. Read the junk removal cost guide.
