Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Demolition, Land Clearing or Excavating?

The questions homeowners around Fayetteville, Raeford and the Sandhills ask us most. If yours is not here, call or text and we will answer it.

Call (910) 527-1108

How do you price a demolition job?
Every price comes from the job itself. The size of the building and what it is built of matter most, along with any slab or foundation. Access for the machines and the haul to the landfill count too. We look at the job first, then put the price in writing.
What area do you serve?
We work about 50 miles around Fayetteville, and Raeford is part of that area. The towns include Hope Mills, Spring Lake, Southern Pines, Pinehurst, Aberdeen, Sanford, Lumberton, Laurinburg, Dunn and Red Springs. Our service areas page lists the rest.
Do you take small jobs?
Yes. A detached garage or a stretch of old driveway is a job we take, the same as a whole house. On the commercial side, we take down small and mid-size buildings.
How long does it take to tear down a house?
A typical house comes down in a day or two of machine work. The paperwork comes first and takes longer. The state's Health Hazards Control Unit wants notice of a demolition at least 10 working days ahead. NC 811 also needs notice three full working days before the work starts.
Do I need a permit to tear down a building?
Usually, yes. North Carolina law calls for a permit before a building comes down. Inside Fayetteville's city limits, the city's Permitting and Inspections Division issues demolition permits. Elsewhere, the county or town inspections office that covers the property issues them.
Do I need an asbestos inspection before a teardown?
For most buildings, yes. Federal and state asbestos rules call for an inspection by an inspector accredited by the state. That applies before a commercial building or a building with more than four units comes down. For a house, the state recommends the inspection, and many permit offices ask for the report with the permit. Setting up that inspection is the property owner's step before the teardown. If the inspector finds asbestos that has to come out, an asbestos abatement contractor removes it before the teardown.
What happens to the debris?
We load it by machine and haul it to the proper facility. The hauling is part of the written quote. On a clearing job, the quote says whether the cleared brush gets hauled off or piled. Our debris removal covers what a teardown or a clearing job leaves behind.
Do you clear land and lots too?
Yes. Land clearing is for acreage: the trees and brush come down, and the stumps come out by machine. Lot clearing is for a single lot in town, like the lot left after a teardown. A single tree on its own is a job for a tree service.
Do you tear out interiors, or only whole buildings?
We take down whole buildings and structures by machine, from the outside. Interior demolition, like a gut-out or a strip-out, is a job for another company.
