Commercial Structures.
Any Size. Any Complexity.

From a single-suite tenant improvement to a multi-story commercial teardown — we bring the licensing, the equipment, and the crew to handle commercial demolition projects that require real capability.

Interior Gut-Outs

Strip a commercial space down to the studs. Drywall, flooring, ceiling tiles, electrical, plumbing — everything removed so the GC or tenant can start fresh. We work within occupied buildings when required.

Tenant Improvements

Selective demolition for restaurant buildouts, office reconfigurations, and retail remodels. We remove what needs to go and protect what stays — walls, structural elements, utility runs.

Retail & Office Buildings

Full demolition of retail strip centers, standalone commercial buildings, and office complexes. Permits, utility disconnects, hazmat clearance, teardown, debris hauling, and site grading — all one crew.

Warehouses & Industrial

Large-footprint warehouse demolition and industrial structure removal. Metal buildings, concrete tilt-up, and pre-engineered structures. We have the equipment to handle the scale.

Restaurant Demolition

Restaurants carry unique demo challenges — grease traps, commercial kitchen equipment, walk-in coolers, hoods, and fire suppression systems. We handle the full scope including specialized removal.

Multi-Story Structures

Buildings over one story require a methodical, top-down demolition approach. We bring the right equipment and operators who understand load sequencing, structural integrity, and controlled teardown.

We Handle the Jobs
Other Contractors Walk Away From.

Commercial demolition is not residential demolition with a bigger price tag. It requires different equipment, different permitting, different insurance, and a crew that understands the complexity of tearing down structures where other trades are waiting behind you. We are not a handyman with a sledgehammer. We are a licensed demolition contractor with the iron to match.

Our commercial clients include general contractors, property management companies, developers, and business owners who need a demolition partner they can count on to deliver a clean site on schedule. We show up, we execute, and we get out of the way so the next phase of construction can begin.

Heavy Equipment Fleet

Excavators with hydraulic breakers, grapple attachments, skid steers, and 10-wheeler semi trucks. We scale equipment based on the project — not the other way around.

Full Permit Management

Demolition permits, utility disconnects, environmental clearances, AQMD notifications, and final inspections. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on your project timeline.

Hazmat Coordination

Pre-demolition hazardous materials surveys, asbestos testing, lead paint assessments, and coordination with licensed abatement contractors. All documentation provided for regulatory compliance.

Debris Recycling & Disposal

Concrete goes to recycling facilities. Metal and rebar go to scrap. We track every load with dump receipts and maximize material diversion to keep disposal costs down and meet environmental requirements.

Commercial Demolition Process.
Start to Finish.

Every commercial demolition project follows a structured process. One crew, one point of contact, full accountability from assessment to final inspection.

01

Site Assessment & Scope

We walk the property, evaluate the structure, review blueprints if available, assess access constraints, and discuss your timeline. Hazmat testing requirements are identified at this stage.

02

Hazmat Survey & Permitting

Pre-demolition hazardous materials survey for buildings built before 1980. Demolition permits pulled, utility disconnects coordinated with PG&E and local water, AQMD notifications filed.

03

Abatement (If Required)

Licensed abatement contractors remove any identified hazardous materials — asbestos, lead paint, PCBs — before our crew begins teardown. Full documentation and clearance testing provided.

04

Utility Disconnect

Gas, water, electrical, sewer, and telecommunications disconnected and capped. Underground utility locating (811) performed. No live utilities when we start breaking ground.

05

Selective or Full Demolition

Interior gut-outs start with soft strip — removing fixtures, drywall, ceiling, flooring. Full structure demo follows a methodical approach with excavators, breakers, and grapples working top-down.

06

Debris Hauling & Recycling

Concrete recycled. Metal and rebar to scrap. General debris to appropriate disposal facilities. Every load tracked with dump receipts. We maximize diversion to reduce disposal costs.

07

Site Clearing & Grading

Foundation removal, rough grading, and compaction as specified. The site is left clean and ready for the next phase — whether that is new construction, repaving, or landscape.

08

Final Inspection & Closeout

Building department performs final inspection to close out the demo permit. All documentation — permits, dump receipts, hazmat clearances — compiled and provided for your records.

The Iron Behind
Every Commercial Job

We own our equipment. No rental delays, no availability issues. When the permit clears, we roll.

Excavators

With hydraulic breakers, grapples, and bucket attachments for structural teardown and material handling.

Skid Steers

10,000 lb units for breakout, material loading, and site clearing in tight commercial spaces.

10-Wheeler Semis

Our own trucks for debris hauling — no third-party scheduling delays. We load and haul the same day.

Mini Excavators

For interior demolition access, selective teardown, and work in confined spaces where full-size machines cannot reach.
