For contractors

On the job
How do you protect the rest of my home?
+
We tape off the rooms we're not working in, put up zip-door dust barriers, protect floors and finishes, and keep dust contained.
Can you work in an occupied home or condo?
+
Yes. We contain dust, protect floors and common areas, and clean up as we go.
Do you haul everything away?
+
Yes. We load and haul it ourselves, so there's no dumpster sitting in your driveway, and we leave a clean site for the next trade. We recycle C&D material where we can.
Will Jeff be on site?
+
Yes. Jeff is on every project, and he's easy to reach while the crew works.
Do you pull the demolition permit?
+
Yes. We handle the required permitting with the county and work with your HOA so the project is approved before equipment shows up.
Can you remove walls?
+
We remove non-load-bearing walls. Structural changes should be designed by an engineer and coordinated with your contractor.
Will you disconnect plumbing?
+
We cap and protect plumbing at the fixtures we remove. New plumbing work should be handled by your plumber.
Can you remove just part of a slab?
+
Yes. We saw-cut for a clean edge and remove only the section you need gone.
Do you pour new concrete?
+
Our focus is removal. We leave a clean base ready for your concrete or landscape contractor.
Do you offer recurring site cleanup?
+
Yes. We can schedule regular cleanups through each phase of your build so debris never piles up.
Do you haul dirt?
+
Yes. We haul dirt and fill from excavation and grading work.
Can you just remove a junk pile or yard debris?
+
Yes. One-time trash, junk and yard debris removal is part of what we do.
Timing
How long does a bathroom take?
+
Most bathrooms take 1 to 2 days, depending on size, tile and access.
How long does a kitchen take?
+
A kitchen with an attached bath usually takes about 4 days.
How long does hardwood floor removal take?
+
Nailed floors go fast. Glued-down floors take longer; a large 2,000+ sq ft glued floor takes about 4 days.
Can you remove glued-down hardwood floors?
+
Yes. We remove nailed and glued-down hardwood, including large 2,000+ sq ft floors. Glued floors take longer, and we'll give you a realistic timeline up front.
Can you demo in winter?
+
Often, yes. Snow and frozen ground change the plan, so we look at access and conditions up front and give you a realistic schedule.
How far out are you booked?
+
It varies with the season. Call or text for the next opening.
Materials & green demo
What happens to my old cabinets?
+
When cabinets come out in good shape, we work with a local reseller in Heber who gives them a second life instead of sending them to the landfill. Ask us about it when you get your quote.
What is deconstruction (green demolition)?
+
It's demolition by hand. The building is taken apart piece by piece so materials can be salvaged, reused or recycled instead of landfilled.
Does green demo cost more?
+
Yes. It's more labor, typically about twice the cost of a standard demo. We'll give you a straight comparison.
Does deconstruction take longer?
+
Usually, yes. It's more labor-intensive than a machine demo. We'll give you a realistic timeline before we start.
What happens to the salvaged materials?
+
Reusable items are set aside and recyclable materials are sorted and taken to recycling. Talk to us about what you want to keep.
Do you recycle?
+
Yes. We recycle C&D material where we can.
About us
How long have you been in business?
+
8 years.
Can you come back for the next phase of my remodel?
+
Yes. Many clients remodel in stages, a bathroom first and the kitchen later, and call us back for each one.
