Trusted Selective Demolition Contractor

We specialize in selective demolition—the precise and controlled removal of specific structures, finishes, or systems while preserving the integrity of surrounding areas. Whether you're renovating an office, upgrading a retail space, or reconfiguring a commercial interior, our team brings the experience and equipment needed to get the job done cleanly and safely.

Whether you’re renovating a retail space, modernizing office interiors, or prepping a facility for a new tenant, selective demolition ensures that only what needs to be removed gets removed—no more, no less.

The Importance of an Excellent Specialty Contractor

At JB Cannon, we treat every selective demolition project as a custom operation. No two buildings—or their challenges—are alike. That’s why we begin every job with a thorough evaluation of your site, construction drawings, and goals. Our team works closely with building owners, general contractors, architects, and facility managers to determine exactly what needs to come out and what must be protected.

Site Assessment & Planning: We evaluate existing conditions, identify structural and non-structural elements, and create a demolition plan that fits your schedule, safety requirements, and project goals.

Safety & Permitting: We ensure all necessary permits are in place and safety measures are implemented. Our team follows strict OSHA standards, and we coordinate with other trades and building occupants as needed.

Selective Removal: Using hand tools, specialized equipment, and dust control methods, we remove only the components specified—whether that’s a single wall, an entire MEP system, or interior finishes across multiple floors.

Selective Demolition Services

We believe every project is unique. That's why we offer tailored solutions to meet the specific requirements of your construction or remodeling project. Our selective demolition services are available as part of larger renovation projects or as a standalone service.

Interior Strip-Outs: Complete removal of interior non-structural components such as drywall, ceilings, floor coverings, cabinetry, and partitions.

Ceiling and Flooring Removal: Removal of suspended/acoustic ceilings, tiles, concrete slabs, hardwood, carpet, or specialty flooring.

Wall and Partition Demolition: Demolition of drywall or masonry walls, storefront systems, and temporary partitions.

Selective Structural Demolition: Under engineered supervision, we remove load-bearing walls, beams, or floor sections as part of a reconfiguration plan.

Precision and Expertise

Selective demolition is as much about what you leave behind as what you take out. Our team is trained to understand complex construction systems and carry out demolition work with surgical precision. We use state-of-the-art tools and detailed planning to ensure every cut and pull is intentional.

We understand that many selective demolition projects take place in occupied buildings—like offices, schools, healthcare facilities, or retail stores. We plan our work to minimize noise, dust, and disruption, coordinating closely with property managers and tenants.

Commercial Tenant Improvements:

When tenants move out or repurpose a space, we perform clean-outs and selective demolition to prepare for new layouts, designs, or code upgrades.

Concrete Cutting & Slab Removal:

We perform saw cutting, core drilling, and concrete removal for new openings, equipment installation, or structural adjustments.

Structural Component Removal:

When plans require the removal of load-bearing walls or columns, we coordinate with engineers to provide safe bracing, shoring, or sequencing.
