Demolitions FAQs

Home demolition timelines vary based on the building’s size and complexity, local building codes, and the type of demolition or deconstruction method. After obtaining permits, demolition for small to medium homes takes three to seven days, including debris removal and site cleanup. Deconstruction can add several weeks to the timeline.

Proper house demolition preparation streamlines the process. Coordinate with your demolition contractor to obtain permits from local authorities, disconnect utilities, and arrange for inspection and removal of asbestos or other hazardous materials. Remove personal belongings from the site and secure accommodations during the demolition and rebuilding.

Foundations last about 80 to 100 years. The foundation material, soil conditions, construction quality, and other factors may influence its lifespan. For example, concrete foundations can last 200 years or more with proper installation and maintenance, but wood foundations don’t often last longer than 50 years.
