How to Demolish a Bedroom Closet
More in Remodeling
Step 1: Hammer the Wall
First, remove the doors and the clothing bar. Next, hammer holes in the wall's surface between the wall studs. Several large holes will enable you to use your hands to easily pull the plaster surface loose.
Step 2: Remove Beams and Plaster
Next, remove any horizontal support beams from the closet interior before repeating the same technique for removing the plaster walls.
Step 3: Cut Through the Studs
After checking to make sure that the wall studs in the closet interior aren't load-bearing, use a reciprocating saw to quickly cut through the studs. This makes it easier to use a pry bar to pull the studs loose from the top and bottom of the closet.
