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.

We look first

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.

We take it down

The structure comes apart in sections and the debris is sorted and loaded as we go.

We haul it and clean up

Debris removal, cleanup and proper disposal are included, so there is nothing left to deal with.

Check these before any structure comes down

Permits vary by city

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.

Older buildings need a closer look

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.

Power, water and gas

Have a licensed electrician or plumber disconnect any power, water or gas before a demolition, and have hot tubs drained first.

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?

Send us photos with a rough size and the material, then we'll send a free estimate. We confirm your price before we start.
