CEM Remodeling & Construction Clean Up is a debris and waste removal service based in Oklahoma City that specializes in cleaning up roofing and remodeling job sites. The company handles the labor-intensive work of hauling away shingles, wood, metal, and mixed construction waste that accumulates during roof replacements and repairs, filling a practical gap between the roofer's finishing work and the homeowner's restored yard.
CEM Remodeling & Construction Clean Up removes and disposes of construction debris generated during roofing projects, including old shingles, underlayment, flashing, wood decking, nails, and fasteners. The service extends to interior demolition debris if a roof replacement requires structural work. Rather than leaving cleanup to homeowners or roofers (who may charge hourly rates for the work), CEM bundles debris removal into a flat project fee, making costs predictable for Oklahoma City homeowners mid-project.
The company charges based on the estimated volume of debris and the complexity of the job. A typical roof replacement generating 8 to 12 cubic yards of waste (standard for a single-story home in the Oklahoma City area) runs $400 to $700 for full removal and haul-away. Two-story homes with 15 to 20 cubic yards often cost $800 to $1,200. Pricing includes loading, hauling to a licensed landfill or recycling facility, and site sweeping. Call CEM directly to confirm current rates, as waste disposal fees charged by Oklahoma County facilities fluctuate seasonally.
Some roofers in Oklahoma City bundle cleanup into their roofing contract at no extra charge; others charge $300 to $500 on top of the roof work. Hiring CEM separately often costs less than a roofing contractor's labor markup and guarantees a focused, thorough job.
Most full-service roofers in Oklahoma City (such as those licensed through the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board) handle their own cleanup but pass the labor cost to the homeowner as part of the roofing contract. CEM's advantage is independence: the company focuses only on debris removal, so it typically completes faster and at lower cost than bundled services. Dumpster rental through companies like Waste Management or Republic Services offers an alternative for DIY or partially self-managed projects. A 20-cubic-yard dumpster rented for 7 days in the Oklahoma City metro runs $300 to $450, but requires homeowner time for loading and pickup scheduling. CEM suits homeowners who want hands-off removal; dumpster rental suits those managing smaller jobs or multiple projects over time.
CEM is ideal for homeowners contracting a roofer independently and preferring professional cleanup rather than DIY haul-away. It also works well for landlords managing rental properties or flippers coordinating multiple trades. The service is less necessary if your roofer already includes cleanup in their quote or if your debris volume is minimal (under 4 cubic yards). Very large commercial roofing projects typically have their own disposal contracts and do not need CEM.
Contact CEM by phone to describe your project scope: roof size, expected debris type, and job timeline. A crew member or estimator will visit the site or work from photos and measurements to calculate cubic yardage. CEM coordinates timing with your roofer to arrive after work concludes or during a scheduled break. On cleanup day, the crew brings a truck and tarps to contain debris, loads material into the vehicle, sweeps the site for loose nails or shingle granules, and completes haul-away the same day or within 24 hours. Most jobs finish in 2 to 4 hours depending on volume.
CEM Remodeling & Construction Clean Up operates Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and offers same-week or next-day scheduling for most projects in the Oklahoma City metro (zip codes 73101 through 73179). No appointment is required for urgent cleanups following weather damage. The company is licensed and insured for debris removal and hauls waste to Oklahoma County landfills or recycling partners. Confirm current hours and service area by phone before booking.
CEM fills a straightforward need in the Oklahoma City roofing market: professional, affordable debris removal that frees homeowners and roofers from disposal logistics and keeps job sites safe and tidy.
