Bathroom Demolition in McKinney & Collin County, TX
Cowboy Site Services does bathroom demolition in McKinney and across Collin and Grayson County. We tear out vanities, cabinets, tile and drywall, then haul it all off on the same trip. Bathrooms are quoted per job from your photos, with the tear-out and haul-off priced together.
A bathroom is a small room packed with heavy material. Vanities, wall cabinets, floor tile, shower tile and the drywall behind it all have to come out before the remodel can start. It's dusty, awkward work in a tight space.
If you're gutting a bathroom before the fixtures go in, this is the call. We do the tear-out and haul it off on the same trip, so the debris never piles up in your garage.
You deal with the owners, not a call center. We're Veteran-owned, locally run and insured, and we work across Collin and Grayson County from our base in McKinney.
Part of our light demolition services.
What we can't take
Hazardous material stays off our trailer, and so do tires. Everything else is usually fine — text a photo if you're not sure.
- Wet paint and chemicals
- Motor oil
- Asbestos
- Ammunition
- Tires
- Shutting off, moving or capping plumbing
- Load-bearing walls and anything else structural
- Work that needs an engineer
- Asbestos, including materials that contain it
- Installing fixtures, tile or a shower
Where your stuff goes
Clean metal, like fixtures and hardware, gets pulled for recycling. A vanity or mirror still in good shape can go to area charities. Tile, mortar, drywall and mixed debris go to the landfill the proper way.
Swept before we pull out
Loading the trailer isn't the end of the job. We sweep the floor, slab or driveway before we leave, so the space is ready to use that day. You pay once you've looked it over.
How does a bathroom gut go?
Once the water is off, the vanity and cabinets come out first. Then the tile comes up and the drywall comes down. We load as we go, so the rest of the house stays clear.
When the room is empty, we sweep up. You're left with a bare room ready for the next trade.

- Pick a time.
- We haul it off and sweep up.
Can you tear out the tile?
Yes. Floor and wall tile come out as part of a bathroom gut. It comes up in pieces with the mortar still on it.
Tile is the heavy part of the job. A floor plus a shower surround adds up fast. That's one reason we quote bathrooms after seeing them, not by square footage.
Can you take out the tub or shower?
Send a photo first. A tub set into tile and framing is a different job from a freestanding one. Shower pans and toilets depend on the room too.
We look before we say yes, and we spell it out in the quote. If something structural turns up once the tile's off, we stop and tell you.
What about the floor and the walls behind the tile?
The drywall behind the tile often comes out too, especially around a tub or shower. That's where water damage tends to hide. We pull it to the line you give us and load it as we go.
Floor tile, vinyl or old carpet can all come up on the same visit. If the subfloor or framing looks structural or rotted through, we stop and tell you. That part belongs to your contractor.
What do I need to do before you get there?
Plumbing isn't our work, so the water needs to be handled first. The rest is quick. Our guide to interior demolition before a remodel covers more.
- Shut off the water to the bathroom.
- Have your plumber cap anything that needs capping.
- Empty the vanity, cabinets and medicine cabinet.
- Tell us what's coming out and which fixtures stay.
- Clear a path from the bathroom to the driveway.
Doing more than one room?
Bathroom remodels often come with other work. A kitchen tear-out or old flooring and carpet can be quoted on the same trip.
Remodelers use us the same way. We demo to the line you give us and haul it all off, so your crew can start on clean subfloor.
How it works: three steps
- 01
Send photos for a quote
Text a few photos of what's going, or call. You get an honest estimate back without waiting for a visit.
- 02
Pick a time
Choose a time that works for you. Same-day service is often possible when the schedule has room.
- 03
We haul it off and sweep up
We confirm a firm price before anything is loaded. Then we carry it out, haul it off and sweep the spot.
Prefer a form? You can request a quote online and attach photos there.
“I especially loved that I was able to just send photos of my items and get a quote instantly vs the companies that want to “come see the stuff” before giving an estimate.”
How bathroom demolition is priced
Bathrooms are quoted per job, because a vanity swap and a full gut to the studs aren't the same work. Send photos of the vanity, the tile, the tub or shower and anything that's staying. We'll give you an honest estimate up front, with the tear-out and the haul-off quoted together.
The price is firm before work starts, and you pay at the end once you're satisfied. If you've already done the tear-out, the pile can be priced as a debris haul-off, by trailer space.
A shed teardown and a bathroom gut aren't the same work, so we don't publish one number for both. Send photos and we'll quote the tear-out and the haul-off together.Debris you've already torn out and stacked is priced as a haul-off load:
Minimum Pickup
from$189
A handful of items already set out and easy to reach.
Half Trailer Load
from$515
One emptied room, a stuffed garage bay, or a decent pile out back.
Full Trailer Load
from$759
Full cleanouts, big moves, estate jobs, and heavy remodel debris.

Common questions
How much does bathroom demolition cost?
We quote bathrooms per job instead of publishing a number. How much tile there is, whether the tub goes, and access all change the work. Send photos and you'll get one price for the tear-out and the haul-off.
Do I need a permit to demo a bathroom?
Each city sets its own rules. Where a city requires a permit, it's usually pulled by the general contractor or the homeowner. If one is needed and nobody else is pulling it, we can usually pull it ourselves for an added fee that varies by city.
Can you just remove the vanity?
Yes. A single vanity swap is a fine job for us. Have the water shut off and the lines capped, and we'll pull it and haul it.
Will you take out the toilet?
Usually, yes. Show it in your photos and we'll include it in the quote. Have the water off and the supply line capped first.
Do you haul off the old fixtures?
Yes. The vanity, sink, mirror, toilet and hardware all go on the same trailer. Clean metal gets pulled for recycling, and usable pieces can go to area charities.
Can you take out a wall to make the bathroom bigger?
Only if it's a non-structural partition. A load-bearing wall is structural work, and that's not ours. We'll tell you up front.
