Demolition
An old structure that's outlived its use is often the biggest thing standing between you and what you actually want to do with your property. We tear it down, break it up, and haul it away — so you're not left with a pile of debris to deal with yourself.

What to Know Before You Demolish
Most Wisconsin municipalities require a demolition permit before work begins, and utility disconnects (electric, gas, water) typically need to be arranged ahead of time — sometimes by the property owner directly with the utility company, sometimes coordinated through us depending on the project. Certain older structures may also contain materials like asbestos that require specialized handling or abatement before standard demolition can proceed; this needs to be assessed on a case-by-case basis and isn't something to assume away on an older barn or farmhouse.
Common Questions About Demolition
Do I need a permit to demolish a building in Wisconsin?
Most municipalities require a demolition permit, and utility disconnects (electric, gas, water) typically need to be handled before work starts. We can walk you through what your project will need.
What happens to the debris?
We handle material and debris hauling as part of the job, so you're not left with a pile to deal with on your own.
Can you demolish a structure with asbestos or hazardous material?
Certain materials require specialized handling or abatement before standard demolition can proceed — this needs to be assessed on a case-by-case basis, and we can tell you what we find during the site assessment.
How long does a typical demolition take?
It depends heavily on the structure's size and condition — a small outbuilding might come down in a day, while a house or barn with utility disconnects and debris hauling factored in takes longer.
Do you handle the utility disconnects, or does the property owner?
This varies by project and utility — some disconnects need to be arranged directly with the utility company by the property owner, while others we can coordinate. We'll tell you what applies to your specific project.
Can you save or salvage materials before demolition?
In some cases, yes — if there's lumber, fixtures, or other materials worth salvaging before a structure comes down, let us know ahead of time and we can plan around it.
