Demolition in Chelan, WA

Demolition is mostly about what happens after the structure comes down: separating material, loading it out, and leaving ground the next trade can work on.

Before you hire anyone

What people worry about

The questions that come up on almost every demolition call.

Old footings left buried

Slabs and footings come out along with everything above ground, so the next build isn’t sitting on old concrete.

Hazardous material surprises

Washington has survey requirements for hazardous material before most demolition. We talk through who does what before anything is scheduled.

Debris sitting around for weeks

Material gets loaded out as it comes down, and the ground is left rough graded and usable.

The machine

Sized for residential access

This work is done with our Kubota U55-5 compact excavator: 6 ft 5 in wide on rubber tracks, 11 ft 11 in dig depth and 19 ft 7 in of reach. It fits most driveways and side yards a bigger machine can’t, and it’s easier on the ground getting there.

How the price works is on how an estimate works. Who calls 811 and who issues permits is on permits and locates.

Questions

Demolition questions

Who handles the permits for a demolition?

That depends on the structure and the jurisdiction. Washington also has survey requirements for hazardous material before most demolition work. Tell us what’s coming down and we’ll talk through who does what before anything is scheduled.

How big a structure will you take on?

Call and describe it. Size, construction type and access all matter, and a two minute phone call will tell you more than a web page can.
