Sufficient size dumpster for gutting a house.

[Account Closed]

In considering buying our first house to rent or flip, we need help in figuring the best size for a roll-off.  Here's some information: 1400 sq.ft.' 3-2-2 on a concrete slab with 9' walls all on one floor. The ceilings are staying but the rest of the interior is being stripped to the studs. This includes everything in the kitchen, including appliances, all cabinets and counters. Both (small) full baths will be gutted. The garage is a trash heap with shelves and ceiling storage that goes also. All flooring will be taken out. This is in the Friendswoods/League City area of Texas and any suggestions for subcontractors would be appreciated. Regards, Phil G.

This is just a shot in the dark, but my biggest demo/trash removal renovation on a 1740 SF house used two 30 yard dumpsters. Not a gut on the whole house but a lot of "junk" had to come out, kitchen, bath, and some other demo. It sounds like you might end up with a similar amount of debris. Others might have a more accurate comprison.
