What Types of Demolition Do We Handle?

We provide complete demolition services for residential properties. Here’s what we can demolish and remove:

• Shed, garage and outbuilding demolition — taken down with the machine, the foundation out, and the debris hauled away
• Foundation removal — Excavating and removing old foundations after structure demolition

Our Demolition Process

Demolition isn’t just knocking things down. It requires careful planning, the right equipment, and proper disposal. Here’s how we work:

Step 1: Free Ballpark By Text — Send photos and the property address for a range within 24 hours. When a site visit is needed it happens on a Friday: we visit your property, inspect the structure, and discuss your project. We check for utilities, hazards, and any special requirements. You’ll receive a clear, written estimate.

Step 2: Permits & Preparation — The demolition permit and the utility disconnections are the property owner’s to arrange. We can point you in the right direction, but we don’t file paperwork or act as your liaison with the town. Once the permit is in hand and the services are cut, we go to work.

Step 3: Careful Demolition — Our crew uses excavators, loaders, and specialized equipment to take down the structure systematically. We work carefully to protect your property, neighboring structures, and landscaping.

Step 4: Debris Removal & Disposal — We load and haul away all demolition debris. We recycle materials where possible and dispose of everything properly at approved facilities.

Step 5: Site Cleanup & Grading — After demolition, we grade the site and leave it clean and ready for whatever comes next — whether that’s new construction, landscaping, or just open space.
