Most CNY house teardowns land between $9,000 and $35,000 all in. The four variables: square footage, asbestos presence, basement vs slab, and attached structures (garage, addition).

Yes. NYS DOL licensed for full Subpart 67-2 abatement. NYSDEC pre-demolition asbestos survey, abatement, and disposal all done by our crew. No second contractor, no schedule handoff.

Fully removed and hauled. We do not push concrete into the basement and bury it. That leaves a hidden pit no one will lend on. Engineered structural fill in 12-inch lifts. The lot is buildable.

We do. Town demolition permit, National Grid gas termination, electric drop disconnect, water cap, sewer cap, septic abandonment (if applicable). One signed form from you, we chase the approvals.

From signed contract to clean lot is typically 6-9 weeks. Active equipment time on your property is 5-10 working days. National Grid gas termination is usually the bottleneck at 2-4 weeks.
