Demolition & Debris Removal
Demolition is mostly a disposal problem wearing a demolition costume. Knocking a structure down is the fast part. Sorting, loading, hauling, and paying tipping fees on what is left is where the time and the money go — and it is where quotes differ most.
What we take down
Barns, sheds, and outbuildings. Mobile homes and manufactured housing. Concrete slabs, foundations, and old driveways. Derelict structures. Storm-damaged buildings. Fence lines and old corrals. Where a structure is small enough and clear of other buildings and utilities, this is straightforward heavy equipment work.
Asbestos and lead — the part you cannot skip
Buildings of a certain age can contain asbestos in siding, flooring, roofing, and pipe insulation, and lead in paint. Texas has specific requirements around demolition of structures that may contain regulated asbestos material, including survey and notification requirements that apply to many non-residential and larger residential demolitions. This is not something to guess at. If your structure is old enough to be a question, we will tell you it needs to be assessed before we touch it, and we would rather lose the job than create that liability for you or for us.
Slabs, foundations, and what is under them
Breaking and removing a slab is straightforward. What matters is what happens next: the void gets backfilled and compacted, or you have a settling problem where the slab used to be. Old slabs also frequently sit on top of utilities, septic components, and plumbing that nobody documented. We expect surprises under concrete and price accordingly rather than treating every one as a change order.
Storm cleanup
We are on the hurricane coast and we do storm work — downed trees, damaged structures, debris consolidation, and access clearing so other trades can get to your property. After a major event, demand exceeds every contractor's capacity in this region simultaneously. We prioritize by access and safety and we will be straight with you about scheduling rather than promising a date we cannot hold.

Common Questions
Do you handle the disposal, or do I?
We handle it. Debris haul-off and disposal fees are included as a line in the quote so you can see what portion of the cost is disposal rather than labor. Some materials cost more to dispose of than others, which is why the structure's contents matter to the price.
Do I need a demolition permit?
Inside city limits, almost certainly yes. In unincorporated county areas, often not for an outbuilding, but utility disconnection is still required and asbestos notification requirements can apply regardless of location. We will tell you what we believe is needed; the permit is the property owner's responsibility.
Can you demolish a mobile home?
Yes. Mobile and manufactured homes are common demolition work here. Be aware that they frequently contain materials that require specific handling, and the title and utility disconnection need to be resolved before demolition.
What has to happen before you arrive?
All utilities disconnected and confirmed by the providers — electric, gas, water, and sewer or septic. Anything you want to keep removed from the structure. Clear access for equipment and trucks. And any required permits or notifications in hand.
