I'm not sure, but do you really need a licensed contractor to perform demo work of that type? Even if you don't want to do it yourself, you can hire unskilled labor for cheap.

they normally charge by the hour. If you go to home depot you can hire a general laborer for about 100.00 a day.

Saw someone earlier charging a couple of thousand to gut a house.
It's honestly not that difficult of a job. I wouldn't pay very much for it. You can do it with a couple of dudes. Find the beams and then just beat them with a hatchet or something to loosen the sheet rock from the screws then you'll be able to pull it out no problem. You'll have a new sheet every 4 ft up in distance.
Eta - I'm not a contractor. Others will know more than me. I'm just giving info I learned helping people over the last few days.

You can get a cpl meth heads to do it for about a $50 sack and it will be done in an hour and immaculate.
Of course they will need to be strip searched before leaving.

We own a construction staffing company and little bro will be finished with his by noon today. He started at 8 am yesterday--1600 square foot rental property. Entire flooring out, all kitchen out, bathrooms out, 3.5 feet of sheet rock and drywall out. His cost for his manpower crew will be about $1,000.00. It's not hard to find good help.
If I can help you, let me know.

If the dryeall and insulation are wet and the contractor has to bag it up, they should absolutely be charging by the SF.

Between 3 grown males and 4 females we did all that in a day. Took out all furniture and crap, pulled all flooring, gutted walls, and started dehumidifying.

Where are you located? I'm a broke college student in the cm program at LSU. I already have gutted 3 family homes so i half arse know what to do. I'd be glad to knock it out for less than your left nut and first born child.
Eta: I'd feel like absolute shite charging more than $3-4/ sq. ft.

$3-6 based on whether or not the house is empty.

You're probably looking at $.50/SF for wall area and ceiling area. Then tack on some dumpsters fees and 20% profit.

The contractors aren't going to do the gutting. They are going to get the contract and sub it out to unskilled laborers.

I gutted my entire house. It took 2 weeks. This allowed the wood to dry.
