Demolition & site clearing

Off your site before the next trade shows up.

Structure, slab, and pool demolition for general contractors, project managers, and homeowners across the Bay Area and Sacramento. Licensed, insured, and off your site on the date we gave you.

Capabilities

One crew, everything
down and gone.

If it needs to come out safely and leave the property clean, that is our work. The same care we bring to pool removal carries through every teardown.

Structures

Structure demolition

Garages, sheds, carports, and small outbuildings taken down to the ground, separated, and hauled off with the tickets to prove it.

Interiors

Selective demolition

Interior strip-out and partial demolition where the building stays standing. Careful removal, protected finishes, tidy handoff to the next trade.

Pools

Pool demolition

Full or partial removal of gunite and concrete shells, engineered backfill placed in compacted lifts, documented for the file.

Concrete

Concrete removal

Driveways, patios, walkways, slabs, and footings broken out and removed. Recycled at a certified facility wherever the material allows.

Hauling

Haul-off & site clearing

Dirt, debris, and green waste removed. Overgrown or cluttered lots cleared for whatever comes next.

Finish

Rough grading, demo footprint

We leave the demolition footprint rough-graded and drainable. Finish grading, pads, and utilities are your grading contractor’s scope, and we say so up front.

Who we work with

Why general contractors call us.

Some weeks we are reclaiming a family’s backyard. Others we are the demolition sub a general contractor calls because we show up, work to the scope, and keep the site clean. Same crew, same equipment, same insistence on hitting the date.

We take the existing structure out and hand you a clean, documented footprint. Scope in writing, disposal tickets on request, and a schedule we hold so the next trade is not waiting on us.

  • Prequalification readyLicense, bond, and insurance certificates on request
  • Scope in writingWe demo what is called out and protect what stays
  • Certified diversionWeight tickets for permit closeout
  • Schedule disciplineWe mobilize and demobilize on the dates given
  • Access protectionDriveways, walks, and neighbors accounted for
  • One point of contactThe estimator is the one accountable on site
Scope

What we do not do.

We hold a demolition license and we stay inside it. Saying this up front is cheaper for everyone than discovering it mid-project.

  • Trenching and utility installation
  • Finish grading and pad preparation
  • Subgrade preparation for slabs or paving
  • Foundation and footing excavation
  • ADU or new-build site preparation
  • Landscaping, irrigation, and hardscape construction

What that means for your schedule

We clear the site and leave the demolition footprint rough-graded and draining. Your grading or general engineering contractor takes it from there. If you need that trade too, tell us at the walkthrough and we will point you at someone we would hire ourselves.

For homeowners the same line applies to pool removal: the yard comes back rough-graded and ready for a landscaper, not planted.
