Homeowners
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. Estimates are free for demolition and excavating work. Call or text a photo of the job with the address, and we'll set a time to come look.
Can you take down just part of a building?
Yes. We do partial or total tear downs, so an addition, a porch or a collapsed section can come off while the rest of the house stays. Tell us what's staying and we'll plan around it.
Do you remove pools, sheds and garages?
Yes. Houses, sheds, garages and pools are all on our demolition list. If there's a concrete slab or a block foundation left behind, that's on the list too.
Can you remove a mobile home or trailer?
Yes, mobile homes and trailers are something we take down regularly. Send a photo, the size and the address, and let us know whether it still has utilities hooked up.
Do I need a permit to tear something down?
Most Pennsylvania townships and boroughs require a demolition permit, and utilities usually have to be shut off before a building comes down. Ask about your municipality when we come out for the estimate.
Builders and contractors
Can one company do the demolition and the excavating?
That's how we work. The same company that takes the old structure down can grade the site, dig the foundation and run the utility lines, which means one schedule and one phone number for the whole job.
Commercial and property owners
Do you take on commercial demolition?
Yes. We remove residential and commercial structures, partial or total.
Can you gut an interior and leave the shell?
Yes. Interior extractions and gut outs are on our demolition list for homes and commercial buildings.
Do you remove concrete, block, brick and stone?
Yes, all four. Slabs, walls, old foundations and stone work can come out on their own or as part of a bigger tear down.
