Commercial Demolition
We take down block and frame commercial buildings, retail and restaurant spaces, warehouses, outbuildings and additions. The debris leaves with us and the pad is left clean.

Interior demolition means stripping the inside of a building while the structure stays. Drywall, ceilings, ceiling grids, insulation, flooring, tile, cabinets, fixtures, built-ins and non-load-bearing partitions come out and leave on our trucks. Global Construction and Home Repair is based in Valrico and works about 50 miles out from there. The company has more than 30 years of demolition and construction work in the Tampa Bay area.
A commercial strip-out clears a retail unit or an office for the next tenant. A house gut-out goes to the studs ahead of a remodel someone else will build. A flood gut-out gets wet material out after a hurricane so the framing can dry. When an addition or a damaged wing comes off the outside, that is selective demolition.

Commercial interior demolition gets a space ready for the next tenant. As interior demolition contractors, we strip retail units, restaurants, offices, storage rooms and warehouse space down to the studs. The photo at the top of this page shows one of those spaces, a commercial interior stripped to the metal studs. A job that is only shelving and leftover stock is one of our commercial cleanouts.
Gutting a house to the studs takes out the drywall, ceilings, insulation, flooring, tile, cabinets and fixtures. The framing, the roof and the exterior walls stay. Power, water and gas get disconnected and capped by the right trades before we start. Your remodeler or builder takes over after us.
We do this work for homeowners, landlords, property managers, investors and builders. Tell us what has to stay, and we plan the work around it. Every load leaves in our dump trucks and trailers, the same haul as our construction debris removal work. When the whole building has to come down, that is house demolition or commercial demolition instead.
Hurricane and flood-damage demolition is work we have done before. Wet drywall, insulation, flooring and cabinets come out so the framing can dry. A Florida Building Commission sheet says drying within two days means mold probably will not grow to a great extent. A restoration or mold company handles the drying and any mold.
Published guides differ on how far up the wall to cut. FEMA's flood advisory goes by water height. Under 2.5 feet of water, wall material comes out to 4 feet so full sheets of drywall can go back. Over 2.5 feet, it comes out to 8 feet or the ceiling junction, whichever is higher.
The Florida Building Commission sheet says wall material comes out to a point 12 to 24 inches above the waterline. Charlotte County's muck and gut guide says at least 2 feet above the water line. These three sources do not match, so settle the cut line with whoever rebuilds the walls. FEMA's advisory also says fibrous wall insulation soaked by floodwater should be removed completely.
The City of Tampa's permit guide says the Demolition application is for demolishing a structure in its entirety. Partial or exploratory demolition goes under a Building Alterations application there, the type Tampa names for tenant improvements and renovations. That guide speaks only for the City of Tampa. Hillsborough County's demolition checklists say they are written for entire-structure demolition.
An interior job is usually handled as alteration work, but confirm that with the permit office that has jurisdiction. Tampa, Temple Terrace and Plant City run their own permit offices, and unincorporated Hillsborough goes through the county. The Florida Building Code puts an asbestos notification statement on each demolition or renovation permit. Ask about the asbestos paperwork when you call that office.
Florida's environmental agency says the federal asbestos rule calls for a thorough inspection before demolition or renovation. The rule's definition leaves out isolated homes with four or fewer dwelling units, so check before you count on that. Where the rule applies, a Notice of Renovation or Demolition is due at least 10 working days before work starts. We schedule our work around the survey and any abatement, which licensed asbestos professionals handle before we start.
From the first call or text to the clean lot at the end, here is how it goes.
Call or text (813) 239-4231 with the address and what needs to come down. Photos of the structure help before we come out.
We come to the property and look at the structure or the lot. Size, what it is built of, access for the machines and where the debris goes all set the price. The estimate is free.
Hillsborough County requires a demolition permit, and it wants utility sign-offs before it issues one. A licensed asbestos inspector surveys the buildings the state rule covers. We work around the permit and the survey, and we confirm what your address needs.
The excavator comes in and the structure comes down. Anything you are keeping stays protected while that happens. Debris goes into dump trucks and trailers as we work.
The last loads go out, and the slab and foundation go with them when you want them gone. We grade the ground so the lot sits level. Then you have a lot you can build on, sell or use.

We haul construction and demolition debris off job sites, remodels and teardowns around Tampa Bay. Concrete, lumber, drywall and metal get loaded with the excavator and hauled out in dump trucks.
Learn MoreThe demolition and construction work behind this company goes back more than three decades in the Tampa Bay area. Houses, garages, commercial buildings, pools and mobile homes have all come down. Storm and flood teardowns are part of that record.
One company takes the structure down, hauls the debris off and grades what is left. The dirt work after a teardown runs on the same job and the same schedule. That is one number to call, from the estimate to the finished lot.
We work about 50 miles out from Valrico. That covers Hillsborough County towns like Tampa, Brandon, Riverview and Plant City, plus Lakeland and Winter Haven in Polk County. Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills and Land O' Lakes in Pasco County are in range too.
We come out, look at the structure or the lot and tell you how the job would run. The price comes from what is actually standing there. The visit is free and the work starts when you say go.
Real reviews from real demolition jobs on Google.
Global Construction did an outstanding job demolishing the original single-story, ground-floor portion of our home after it was flooded by Hurricane Helene. This was a highly complex project that several other companies declined because the original house had to be carefully separated from the remaining garage and ADU above, while also preserving the existing pool. Their team handled the demolition with skill, professionalism, and great attention to detail. They took on a difficult project, completed the work safely and efficiently, and delivered phenomenal results at a very fair price. We are extremely grateful to Global Construction and would highly recommend them to anyone needing an experienced and dependable demolition contractor.
We needed help demoing affected homes from the hurricanes in late 2024 to dry them out and thankfully we were connected to Mike and his son and their crew. They were great to work with, they were punctual, they were respectful and we all around a great experience working with them.
