Plywood Paneling Removal Cost

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Demolition unit price for the removal of interior plywood paneling or hardboard paneling.

Unit Size

One square foot.

Labor Costs

We figure about 110 square feet of demolition per hour for an unskilled worker. The price includes stripping of the paneling from the wall, lugging the material to a dumpster or dump truck, and clearing nails from the framing.

NOTE-- Plywood paneling is almost impossible to salvage. You'd need to add a considerable amount of time to this construction cost if you plan do it (probably the best approach would be to punch out each nail from the front with a nail set).

Material Costs

We figure one wrecking bar lost per 500 square feet of paneling removed. This cost also helps to cover incidental expenses such as gloves and dust masks.

Suggested Quantity

No suggested quantity. Just enter the amount of plywood paneling removal that you think will be required.

Source of Construction Pricing

Based on actual timing of a remodeling project with a few hundred square feet of paneling.
