How a small tear-down works
Light demolition is the part of a project people tend to dread: the noise, the mess, and the pile of splintered wood afterward.
We handle the whole thing. You get a straight answer from your photos, a price before we start, and a clear space at the end.
Send photos with a rough size, and tell us the material and whether power or water is nearby. We tell you straight whether we can take it.
The structure comes apart in sections and the debris is sorted and loaded as we go.
Debris removal, cleanup and proper disposal are included, so there is nothing left to deal with.
Check these before any structure comes down
California building rules exempt some small sheds and low fences from a building permit, but cities and the county set their own rules, and some require a demolition permit. Check with your city or county before work starts, and tell us if a permit applies when you send your photos.
Materials in structures built before 1980 can contain asbestos, and paint from before 1978 may contain lead. If you are not sure, have the materials tested first. Asbestos and lead abatement are specialized, certified work.
Have a licensed electrician or plumber disconnect any power, water or gas before a demolition, and have hot tubs drained first.
Light demolition, what is included
Done with care for your property, the neighbors and your fence line.
Every board, panel and bolt goes on the truck. Nothing is left in the yard.
We clean up the spot and handle disposal, with recycling when possible.

What counts as light demolition?
Small structures like sheds, fences, decks, hot tubs, playsets and patio covers. If you are not sure whether yours qualifies, send us a photo and we'll tell you straight.
Do I need a permit?
It depends on your city or county and on the size and type of the structure. California building rules exempt some small sheds and low fences from a building permit, but local rules differ and some places require a demolition permit. Check with your local building department first, and tell us if a permit applies when you send your photos.
Can you remove a hot tub?
Yes, hot tub removal is part of our light demolition work. Have a licensed electrician disconnect the power and have the tub drained first. Then text us a photo so we can confirm the job.
What about concrete patios or slabs?
Concrete is very heavy and a different kind of job. Send a photo and we'll tell you straight what makes sense.
Is cleanup included?
Yes. Light demolition is done safely, with debris removal, cleanup and proper disposal included.
How do I get a price?
