Why Hire a Licensed Pro
A full house teardown is the most permit-intensive and regulated demolition job a homeowner can order. NJ law requires pre-demolition asbestos and lead testing for homes built before 1980. DOL notifications, municipal demolition permits, and utility company sign-offs must all line up before the first machine touches the structure. Get one step out of order and the work stops — sometimes for weeks. We've run this process hundreds of times. We know the sequence, the inspectors, and the disposal requirements. You get a graded, permit-closed site on schedule.

We can protect and work around specified trees and landscape features when access allows. Discuss what you want to keep during the assessment visit.
