What's Included
Every demo job covers permits, disconnects, the actual demo, and the haul-off. No surprise add-ons after we start.
- Site walk and scope confirmation, including hazmat assessment if applicable.
- Demolition permit pulled or coordinated with the GC.
- Utility disconnects coordinated with PG and E and the local water district.
- Structure demolished, foundations broken out, debris hauled to landfill.
- Recyclable materials separated where it makes sense (concrete, metal, wood).
- Site rough-graded after demo, ready for the next phase or stake-out.
Permits and Hazmat: Handled
Demo paperwork is where most jobs slow down. We pull demo permits, coordinate utility disconnects, and time hazmat abatement so the schedule does not slip. If asbestos or lead paint testing is needed, we coordinate it with a licensed abatement contractor before we start.

Common Questions
Demolition Questions Builders Ask
How much does demolition cost in the Sacramento area?
Demolition in the Sacramento area runs roughly $4 to $15 per square foot for small structures. Most residential demos land between $3,000 and $15,000. Cost depends on structure size, materials, hazmat, access, and haul-off distance. Concrete-only demos are priced separately.
Do I need a permit to demolish a structure?
Yes, most permanent structures need a demolition permit through the local building department. Sheds under a certain size, fences, and slabs often do not. We pull or coordinate the permit on every job that needs one. Utility disconnects with PG and E and the local water district are coordinated before the structure comes down.
Do you handle utility disconnects before demo?
Yes. We coordinate disconnects with PG and E for gas and electric, and with the local water district for water and sewer caps. We confirm everything is shut off and capped before the structure comes down. This protects the site and meets code.
What about asbestos and lead paint?
Hazmat is handled by a licensed abatement contractor before we demo. Most pre-1980 structures need asbestos and lead testing. We coordinate testing and abatement timing with the GC or owner. We do not start demo until clearance is in hand.
