Demolition & Junk Removal
Interior Demolition and Junk Removal in Chicago and Chicagoland
Renovation demolition, removal of old finishes and materials, construction debris hauling, and cleanouts that leave a space ready for new work.
Overview
Demolition & Junk Removal Done Properly
Every renovation starts with removal, and how that removal is handled sets the tone for everything after it. Green Wave Construction takes out old finishes carefully, protects what is staying, and gets the debris out of the property instead of leaving it stacked in a hallway.
We do interior and renovation demolition: bathrooms and kitchens taken back to the studs, old flooring and tile pulled up, walls opened where a remodel requires it, and old fixtures and cabinetry removed. Because we also do the finish work, we understand which parts of a space need to be protected during demolition rather than discovered as damage later.
Junk removal and cleanouts are the other half of this service. Construction debris hauling, clearing out a property between tenants, and emptying a unit before renovation or sale are all work we handle directly.
We do not perform hazardous material work. Asbestos, lead abatement, and other regulated materials require specialized licensed contractors, and if something like that turns up we stop and tell you rather than working around it.

Green Wave finished my basement and did an unbelievable job. Jackson was very easy to work with as the project manager. Very happy with how things turned out. Would highly recommend working with Green Wave if you are looking for great work and a company that cares about getting the job done right!
I hired Greenwave Construction to renovate my property before selling it, and the results were incredible. They completely transformed the home into a luxury residence, which helped me profit greatly from the investment. I want to thank the team for their excellent communication and top-tier craftsmanship throughout the project!
