Historic Rehab in Olde Towne and Port Norfolk
Restoring a house in Olde Towne or Port Norfolk usually means careful demolition: pulling failed plaster, rotted sills, old kitchens added in the 1950s and layers of roofing, while saving trim, mantels and windows. The debris comes out in waves rather than all at once, so a renovation dumpster in Portsmouth of 20 yards suits most of these jobs. It's $455 with two tons included and stands 4.5 feet tall, low enough to load by hand from a porch.
Many of these homes sit close to brick sidewalks with little or no driveway. A container on your own lot normally needs no permit. Putting it on a public street or sidewalk is different, and Portsmouth may need to approve right-of-way use first. Ask the city, and read our guide to dumpster permits in Hampton Roads before you commit to a spot.
Cradock, Park View and Westhaven Flips
Investors renovating in Cradock, Park View, Westhaven and Hodges Manor tend to run lean schedules: demo on Monday, trades by Thursday. The seven days included with every rental fit that pace well, and extra days are $25 if the drywall crew runs behind. Because we don't swap containers, decide up front whether a single 20-yard covers the whole flip or whether you'll need a second rental for the finish stage.
When the previous owner left a houseful of belongings, get it cleared first with junk removal in Portsmouth. That keeps the box free for lath, cabinets and flooring.
- Cosmetic flip (flooring, cabinets, fixtures): 20-yard
- Full gut down to studs: 30-yard ($550, three tons)
- Old porch slab or chimney brick: separate 10-yard ($375, two tons)

Churchland and Sterling Point Re-Roofs and Additions
On the western side of the city, larger homes in Churchland and Sterling Point get new roofs, bigger decks and second-story additions. A roofing dumpster in Portsmouth parked on the driveway with boards beneath it keeps shingles off the lawn; most single-layer roofs fit a 20-yard, while two layers or a big footprint call for the 30 yard dumpster in Portsmouth and its three-ton allowance. Tips for loading a tear-off are on the roofing dumpster rental page.
Additions generate bulky framing waste with little weight, so a 30-yard is the usual choice for a demolition dumpster in Portsmouth when a rear wall is coming out to make way for new space.
Shipyard and Naval Medical Center Households
Plenty of Portsmouth homeowners work at Norfolk Naval Shipyard or Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, and many tackle remodels themselves on days off. Military and first responders receive 5% off residential rentals with valid ID. Since our yard is in town, Saturday delivery is easy to arrange, but it must be booked ahead; we don't run same-day drops on weekends.
Loading Habits That Keep the Bill Flat
The price covers delivery, seven days, pickup and disposal, plus a $35 fuel surcharge per rental. Costs only climb when the load does: weight over the included tons is $110 each, tires are $75, and mattresses are $100. Keep the load level with the top of the walls, break down bulky items, and leave out paint that's still wet, batteries, chemicals and asbestos-containing material.
Keep the container reachable on pickup day, because a blocked box results in a $125 dry run. Contractors handling regular C&D debris removal in Portsmouth should ask about the Priority Pro contractor program.

Questions We Hear Most
Can a dumpster go in front of my Olde Towne house?
If the house has a driveway or side lot, that's the place for it. Many Olde Towne homes don't, and putting a container on the street or sidewalk may require right-of-way approval from Portsmouth. Check with the city before booking, then tell us the plan and we'll match the size to the space.
What size dumpster is right for a Cradock flip?
For flooring, cabinets, fixtures and some drywall, a 20-yard usually handles it. If you're taking the house down to studs, the 30-yard with three tons gives you more room. Because there are no swap-outs, it's worth sizing generously or planning a second rental for the finish work.
How quickly can you deliver in Portsmouth?
Our trucks are based on Airline Boulevard, so Portsmouth addresses are close. On weekdays, same-day delivery may be possible when a truck is available. Weekend deliveries are booked in advance with no extra charge. Call 757-250-7985 to check the schedule.
Can old plaster and lath go in a roll off dumpster?
Yes, plaster and lath are normal renovation debris. They're dense, though, so watch the weight: the 20-yard includes two tons and overage is $110 per ton. If you suspect old materials contain asbestos, have them tested first, because asbestos is not allowed in our containers.
Do you take tires and old mattresses from a rehab?
Yes, with per-item fees. Tires are $75 each and mattresses or box springs are $100 each. Let us know when you book so we can note it. If there's a lot of household junk, our junk removal crew may handle it more efficiently.
