Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a demolition job take in Pittsburgh?
Most residential teardowns take one to three days of active work. Permits and utility disconnects usually add one to three weeks on the front end, which is why we start that process immediately.
Do I need a permit to tear down my own garage?
Yes. Detached structures still require a demolition permit in the City of Pittsburgh. We handle the filing as part of the job.
What happens to the debris?
We haul everything off site and dispose of it at approved facilities. Concrete, metal, and clean fill are recycled where possible.
Do you test for asbestos?
Older structures typically require an asbestos survey before demolition. We coordinate the inspection and, if anything is found, the abatement before work begins.
Will you fill in the hole after the building is gone?
Yes. Backfill and grading are part of the scope on most jobs. Confirm it in your estimate so there are no surprises.
Do you work on occupied commercial buildings?
Yes. Interior demolition can be phased and scheduled around business hours to keep the rest of the building running.
