What does a demolition contractor do?
Demolition contractors remove structures or parts of structures safely—while managing permits, safety controls, debris hauling, and (when needed) specialized handling for regulated materials. Demo can be structural (full teardown) or selective (targeted removal for remodeling).
Types of demolition
- Residential demolition: Sheds, patios, pools, interior demo, and full home teardown where permitted.
- Commercial demolition: Tenant improvements, concrete/asphalt removal, structural demolition, and large-scale site clearance.
- Selective demolition: Kitchens, bathrooms, walls, and slabs removed without disturbing the rest of the structure.
Safety and compliance
Ask how the contractor controls dust, secures the site, and disposes of debris. If the property is older, discuss testing requirements for hazardous materials before work begins.
What to include in a demo scope
- Exact areas to be removed and what must remain intact
- Haul-off frequency and final clean condition
- Utility shutoffs, capping, and coordination responsibilities
- Protection for adjacent surfaces and neighboring structures
FAQ
What’s the difference between full demolition and selective demo?
Full demolition removes an entire structure. Selective demo removes specific components—like interiors, slabs, or walls—so you can remodel or rebuild.
Do I need permits for demolition in Las Vegas?
Often yes, especially for structural demolition. Requirements depend on the scope and property type. Contractors can help identify permits and inspection steps.
How is dust controlled during demolition?
Common controls include water misting, debris netting, negative air (interior demo), and scheduled haul-off to keep sites clean and compliant.
Can demolition include concrete removal and hauling?
Yes. Many demo crews remove slabs, footings, asphalt, and masonry—then load, haul, and dispose or recycle materials where available.
What about hazardous materials like asbestos?
If a building may contain asbestos or other hazardous materials, testing and specialized abatement may be required before demolition.
