How to Prep for a Demolition

Demolition may seem like just tearing something down—but a smooth project starts with smart prep. Here's how to prepare your property for a safe and efficient demolition:

1. Schedule a Site Visit:

We’ll inspect the structure, assess the scope, and discuss safety concerns and the timeline.

2. Disconnect Utilities:

Make sure all electricity, gas, and water lines are turned off and disconnected by professionals before demolition day.

3. Remove Salvageable Materials:

Doors, fixtures, wood, and metal can sometimes be reused or recycled. We’ll help you identify and remove valuable materials.

4. Clear the Area:

Remove personal items, vehicles, and anything that could get damaged. Mark property boundaries and access points for our crew.

5. Get the Proper Permits:

Some cities or counties require demolition permits. We can help you understand what’s needed and assist in filing paperwork.
