Attached and detached garages taken down safely, with slabs, driveways and foundations handled as planned.
A tired garage can be a hazard or a wasted corner of the lot. Roofs sag, walls lean, concrete cracks and many old garages are stuffed with decades of stored items. Taking one down opens up space for a new build, a bigger driveway or a garden, and it removes a liability.
We check how the garage is built, whether it is attached, what is wired into it and what is stored inside. Then we disconnect utilities with the right trades, remove the roof and walls in a safe order and deal with the slab and footings as planned. Debris is loaded and hauled, and the site is graded and cleaned for what comes next.
A detached garage is a straightforward tear-down. An attached garage shares walls, a roof line and sometimes utilities with the house, so it is a careful partial demolition.
You may want the slab kept as a pad, broken out and hauled or replaced. We discuss the options and what they mean for grading and drainage.
Old paint, fuel, batteries and chemicals have to be handled properly. We help you plan removal of hazardous items before demolition.
Many garages have electrical service. The electric utility and a qualified electrician should disconnect it before demolition begins.
Drag the handle to compare.

You tell us about the project, the timeline and any concerns, and we set a time to visit that fits your day.
We walk the structure and the lot, check access, utilities and likely hazards and take photos and measurements.
We prepare the written scope, coordinate permits, surveys and utility disconnects and set up fencing and dust control.
The work proceeds in a planned order with water on dust and materials sorted for recycling.
Debris is loaded and hauled away on schedule, and the site is swept and kept tidy.
We grade the lot, sweep for nails and debris, take photos and walk the finished work with you.
A detached garage often takes a day or two. Slab removal and hauling can add time.
Yes. Many owners keep the slab for a patio, a pad or a future structure.
We can help, but valuables and hazardous items should be removed by you or a specialist first.
Yes, as a partial demolition with shoring and weather protection for the house.
Often yes. We explain what applies and help coordinate the paperwork.
