Our Process
- 1
Site walkthrough & estimate
We visit the property, assess scope, flag any hazardous material concerns (asbestos, mold), and provide a written estimate within 24 hours.
- 2
Permits & planning
We pull the required demolition permits from the local municipality and schedule the job to minimize disruption to your timeline.
- 3
Hazmat pre-clearance
If asbestos or mold is present, we handle remediation first — before demo begins. No double-billing, no excuses.
- 4
Demolition
Crew shows up on time with the right equipment. We demo what's specified and nothing else. Neighbors are notified when required.
- 5
Debris removal & site clean
All debris is hauled off-site to licensed facilities. We leave the space broom-clean and ready for the next phase.
Why This Matters
Demolition done wrong causes delays, unexpected costs, and failed inspections. Hidden asbestos or mold found mid-demo can shut a job down for weeks. We pre-screen every site and handle hazmat in-house — no sub-contractors, no finger-pointing. Your GC's schedule stays intact.

Demolition FAQ
