Interior Demo vs Junk Removal: Which Service Do You Need?
When you’re cleaning out a space or planning a renovation, it can be hard to tell whether you need junk removal or demolition services. At Junk Monkey, we offer both — but each is designed for a different kind of job. Here’s how to tell which one is right for you.
What is Junk Removal?
Junk removal is the best choice when the stuff you’re getting rid of is already loose and ready to go. That includes:
- Old furniture and mattresses
- Broken appliances
- Boxes of clutter or old belongings
- Yard waste or bags of debris
- Non-attached construction materials
We arrive, load everything up, and haul it away — no demo needed.
What is Interior Demolition?
Interior demolition is a more involved service. It’s used when you need to remove parts of the structure itself, such as:
- Drywall or framing
- Built-in cabinets or counters
- Flooring (tile, wood, laminate)
- Ceilings, fixtures, or partial walls
Our crew comes in with tools and safety gear, tears it down cleanly, and hauls away the debris.
Which One Do You Need?
Here’s a simple rule of thumb:
- Use junk removal if the items are movable and already loose.
- Use demo services if the items are attached to your home and need to be broken down.
Still not sure? No problem. Give us a call and we’ll help you figure it out.

Pricing and Scheduling
We charge demo jobs based on man-hours and disposal fees, while junk removal is typically flat-rate based on item type or volume. For more details, check out our guide:
