What's Included
Everything in One Bid
No subcontractor surprises. Backwell handles every phase of your demolition project.
01
Asbestos & Lead Abatement
NYS DOL Part 67 licensed. We do not test. Send any lab report you have; untested material is priced as presumed hazardous. Abatement is done in-house before demo begins.
02
Structure Teardown
Full mechanical demolition. Framing, roofing, siding, interior — all removed cleanly and efficiently.
03
Foundation Removal
Concrete and block foundations broken up and hauled. Hole backfilled and compacted to grade.
04
Utility Disconnects
Coordinate with utility companies for water, gas, and electric disconnects prior to demolition start.
05
Debris Hauling
All debris removed and properly disposed. Site left clean, rough-graded, and ready for your next use.
06
Site Grading
Topsoil seeded or graded to drain. Options for loam and seed or rough pad for new construction.
Common Questions
House Demo FAQ
Most residential demolitions take 2–5 days once permits and utility disconnects are cleared. Hazardous material abatement adds 1–3 days prior to structural demo. We give you a realistic schedule in the estimate.
Yes — most municipalities in CNY require a demo permit. We handle the permit application as part of the project and coordinate all required notifications to utilities and the county.
Backwell holds a NYS DOL Part 67 lead abatement contractor license. We do not sub out hazmat work — it's handled by our own licensed crew. This keeps cost and scheduling under our control and is required before any structural demo begins.
Foundation removal can be included or excluded based on your needs. If you're building new, we typically remove to 2 ft below grade and backfill. We price both options in the estimate so you can choose.
