Laminate is easy to take up unlike tile and old vinyl (especially really old vinyl) and most contractors won't charge much at all for the demo (maybe $100-300) to remove it.

there must be a reason for the demo- crank house or drugs of some kind, did you talk to the city why all of those properties are being demoedI know some cities don't have the money for the properties anymore because the cities are brokego talk to the building department to find out why they are demoing and see if you can buy some up for a youth group or maybe a city park and rec areaenjoy

Will need an estimate for roof, demo/drywall installation, pluming, hvac, electric, flooring.

Save you the demo cost.

Now the repubs may actually WIN in the demo state of MA!!

(Atlanta costs)Demo includes - tear out plaster walls, doors, windows, insulation, wiring.

The homes scheduled for demo also where made public at auction so it saved you that research.

Demo the existing home and build new spec homes.

As mentioned I have very strong remodel and handyman skills, I am also in the profession of Lean process/operational excellence, and would be willing to help anyone in these areas with demo work, finishing work or anything, in exchange for sharing your experiences and suggestions.Thanks!

Not demo just trash...
