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.

Spring Lake borders Fort Bragg, and about four in five occupied homes in town are rentals, by Census estimates. More than a third of all homes here went up before 1980. When an old rental or a fire-damaged house is past repair, it is time for a teardown. Then the lot needs clearing for whatever comes next.
Hollingsworth and Son Construction is a demolition contractor serving Fayetteville, Raeford and the surrounding counties. Spring Lake is part of our service area, about 12 road miles from downtown Fayetteville. Here we take on house demolition, commercial demolition, lot clearing and debris removal. Call or text (910) 527-1108, and we look at the job and put the quote in writing.

Census estimates put the town at about 5,400 homes. Only about four in ten are detached single-family houses. Most of the rest sit in duplexes and apartment buildings. About one home in six was vacant in the same survey.
Age shows in the numbers too. About four in ten homes went up between 1960 and 1989. Main Street is older still: it grew from the Old Plank Road of the 1800s. New homes still go up in spots like Caelin Farms, but Census permit counts run a few dozen a year.
The town has ordinances aimed at blight, and its Code Enforcement Inspector enforces them. Its Minimum Housing Appeals Board hears appeals of Inspections Department orders on minimum housing standards. Along Main Street or Bragg Boulevard, an old commercial building can come down for a rebuild too.
Inside the town limits, the Town of Spring Lake Inspections Department enforces the North Carolina State Building Code. Its demolition permit application has a box for a complete building. The form says the permit lapses if work does not start within six months. All inspections are scheduled through the town's inspection office.
Planning is shared with Cumberland County, whose planning department handles most planning items for the town. A Spring Lake mailing address can also sit outside the town limits. For those lots, the county's inspections office answers the permit question.
The 28390 ZIP reaches north into Harnett County around Anderson Creek. In the 2020 Census, Anderson Creek counted more people than the town itself. For that side, Harnett County Central Permitting is the office to ask. It posts its own demolition permit application.
Much of Spring Lake sits on sandy Sandhills ground over a clay subsoil. Blaney soils lead, with about two to three feet of sand over sandy clay loam, by the federal soil survey. The survey rates them well drained.
Gilead soils behave differently. The survey says they hold water above the clay for short periods in wet seasons. On those lots, ground that looks dry on top can stay soft after a rain. That matters when an excavator or a dozer has to cross it.
FEMA has studied the Little River and creeks that cross the town, such as Tank Creek and Hector Creek. Its flood map shows high-risk zones in town, some with a regulatory floodway. Check your lot on FEMA's online flood map before clearing near the water. The town also runs a stormwater program that reviews new development.
A teardown often leaves a slab or a driveway behind. With concrete removal, we break them up with the machine and haul the pieces off. Then our debris removal loads the rest by machine and hauls it to the proper facility.
Before a demolition or a dig, state law calls for NC 811 notice at least three full working days ahead. The law also gives utility owners time to remove or protect their lines before a building comes down. NC 811 does not mark private lines, like the water line from the meter to the house.
Spring Lake's own water department runs the town's water and sewer lines. Ask it how it wants the service closed before the teardown.
