What a Backwell house demolition in Auburn includes.
Most Auburn house teardowns land between $9,000 and $35,000. A single-story house with no basement and no asbestos is at the low end, a standard two-story with a basement runs about $14,000 to $24,000, and larger homes or houses with asbestos and a full basement run $20,000 to $35,000. A detached garage, barn or pool adds about $2,000 to $6,000. You get one fixed written price before anything starts.
Yes. Under New York State Department of Labor Industrial Code Rule 56, an asbestos survey by a state-certified asbestos inspector is required before a building is demolished. Any asbestos found has to be removed by a state-licensed asbestos contractor before the teardown. We do the abatement as part of the job. We do not test: send the survey report if you have one, or untested material is priced as presumed asbestos.
Yes. In Auburn, the demolition permit comes from the City of Auburn Code Enforcement Office (Memorial City Hall, 24 South St.). We file the application, line up the utility shutoffs it asks for, and handle the inspections.
The foundation and basement walls come out. The hole is backfilled in lifts and rough graded so the lot is level and ready to seed, sell or build on.
From a signed contract to mobilization is typically 2 to 5 weeks, mostly waiting on the survey, abatement and permit. Equipment time on the property runs days, not weeks, for most houses. The schedule comes with the written price.
Yes. Fire jobs follow the same survey and permit steps. If insurance is involved, the written price breaks out the scope line by line so it can go straight to the adjuster.
Yes. Send the address and a few photos and you get a written fixed price in 1 hour. No obligation. We do not work hourly or cost-plus on residential jobs, so you get a number you can plan against.

Auburn sits at the north end of Owasco Lake in Cayuga County, on a landscape shaped by retreating Laurentide ice. The dominant soils across the city's commercial corridors are Honeoye silt loam on upland till, with bands of Lima and Kendaia silt loams following low-relief swales. Closer to the Owasco Outlet and along the lakeshore, fine-textured Canandaigua silty clay loam and occasional Palmyra gravelly loam appear where post-glacial deltas built out.
Soil type decides how the basement hole is backfilled and compacted so the lot does not settle later.
