House Demolition
We tear down houses and the outbuildings around them, like a detached garage or an old barn. The debris is loaded and hauled off, and the lot is left clear.

Red Springs takes its name from the rust-colored sediment in its mineral springs, and many houses here are old. By Census estimates, the median home in town was built in 1968. In the 2020 Census, 211 of the town's 1,520 homes stood empty. When an old house or shed is past saving, the next step is a teardown and a clear lot.
Hollingsworth and Son Construction is a demolition contractor serving Fayetteville, Raeford and the surrounding counties. Red Springs is part of our service area. House demolition leaves the lot clear, and lot clearing takes an overgrown lot back to open ground. Call or text (910) 527-1108, and we look at the job and put the quote in writing.

Red Springs counted 3,087 people in the 2020 Census. Census survey estimates show about 73 percent of its homes were built before 1980, and about 40 percent before 1960. About one in six dates to 1939 or earlier, and about three in four are detached single-family houses.
We take down burned houses and condemned houses by machine, with a track hoe and a dozer. A detached garage or an old shed can come down on its own, too. So can a porch or a deck that has rotted out.
The state health department recommends an asbestos inspection before any teardown, single-family houses included. The inspection must be done by an inspector accredited by the state. For commercial buildings and buildings with more than four units, federal rules require the inspection and a state notice first. If asbestos turns up, an asbestos abatement company removes it before the teardown.
The town's Code Administration page says Robeson County Community Development now handles permits and inspections for Red Springs. The county's demolition permit application asks for disconnect notices from the power, gas, water and sewer providers first. It also says adjoining property owners must be notified before demolition begins.
The same form says all demolition debris must go to an approved demolition landfill. Our debris removal covers that haul: we load the debris by machine and truck it to the proper facility. When the building is down, the form calls for the lot to be filled and graded to match the street. Our dozer work takes care of that backfill and rough grading.
North Carolina law calls for an NC 811 ticket at least three full working days before demolition or digging starts. The utilities then mark their buried lines. Private lines, like power run out to a shed, need a private locator. Once the paperwork and the 811 marks are in place, many houses come down in a day or two.
Red Springs sits on the Coastal Plain, in the Lumber River's watershed. The federal soil survey maps Wagram and Norfolk loamy sands across much of the higher ground in town. It rates both well drained.
Rains and McColl soils hold the flats and low spots, and the survey rates both poorly drained. Their water table can rise to the surface. Johnston soils line Richland Swamp and Little Raft Swamp, and the survey lists them as flooding often. A wet lot can mean waiting for the ground to firm up before the machines go in.
For an acre or more around town, land clearing takes off trees and brush with a dozer and excavator. The stumps come out by machine, and the written quote says whether the material is hauled or piled. Clearing more than an acre to build can need a state erosion control plan before the work starts. The state's list shows no local erosion program in Robeson County, so the plan goes to the state.
