What We Tear Down
Full building demolition for houses and rebuild sites, including utility disconnection sequencing, debris haul-off, and rough grading so the lot is ready for the next trade.
Selective demolition or full commercial demolition with site controls that help reduce downtime and keep adjacent operations safer during removal.
Burned-out structures need ash containment, hazmat expertise, and careful load-out planning, especially in Butte County conditions shaped by Camp Fire rebuild lessons.
Concrete demolition, pool demolition, deck breakup, export, backfill, and compaction are handled as one scope so you are not chasing separate crews.
Demo Patrol handles mobile home demolition from single-wide to double-wide and triple-wide units, including tight-access mobile home park demolition.
We help coordinate common pre-demo steps like gas shutoff, power disconnect, and water cap timing so the site is ready when equipment arrives.

Why Demo Patrol
Spencer Farman is the owner-operator, and the team building your quote is the same team planning the job, which makes scope decisions clearer and field execution tighter.
Demo Patrol works Butte County jobs regularly, so permit paperwork, utility coordination, and inspection sequencing are approached as part of the demolition plan, not an afterthought.
One crew handling demolition, debris export, site cleanup, and rough grading means a single invoice and fewer handoff delays between phases.
OSHA-10 certified crews, controlled access, and clear hazard communication matter most on burned-out structures, tight lots, and sites with unknown subsurface conditions.
We plan demo with California safety expectations in mind, including documented jobsite controls and clear responsibilities for debris handling and trucking.
Material recycling is built into cleanup planning when feasible, which can reduce landfill volume and improve disposal efficiency without slowing the job.
Permitting assistance, utility coordination, demolition, concrete removal, haul-off, and cleanup are bundled so your site is left in a usable condition for excavation or rebuild work.
We do not sell the job and hand it off to unknown subcontracted demo crews, the same team that scopes the work shows up to perform it.

Process
We look at structure type, access, debris volume, and any special handling issues like fire damage, tight-access demolition, or suspected hazardous materials. That first walk sets the real schedule and keeps the quote grounded in site conditions.
Your quote lays out inclusions, exclusions, and schedule assumptions in plain language. That matters because demolition bids only compare cleanly when haul-off, rough grading, and disposal are all spelled out.
We help coordinate permit-ready documentation, utility disconnection, and inspection steps. In Chico, permit timing and utility windows often affect start dates more than machine time does.
The structure comes down under controlled conditions, then debris is loaded out to approved disposal facilities. This is where trained crews, heavy equipment, and a clear disposal plan save time on site.
Final site cleanup, backfill where needed, and rough grading leave the property safer and more build-ready. If buried concrete, poor soils, or compaction issues show up, we flag them before the next phase starts.
Typical project timeline note: the on-site teardown can be 1-2 days for many homes, but a full start-to-finish plan can run closer to a 4-week timeline when permits, utility scheduling, and specialty handling are included.
What can change price or timeline:
Service Area
Demo Patrol is based in Sacramento but works Butte County regularly, and that local repetition matters on demolition jobs because permit expectations, haul routes, and soil conditions affect planning from day one. Chico projects often need practical scheduling around access, debris export, and rebuild sequencing rather than generic statewide assumptions.
We frequently plan routes and mobilization around the Hwy 99 corridor and common Chico access constraints, which helps keep trucking, disposal runs, and staging predictable.
The crew is familiar with common local scenarios, including fire-damage demolition tied to Paradise rebuild work after the 2018 Camp Fire, about 14 miles from Chico.
That experience helps with burned material handling, backfill planning, and site prep near Downtown Chico, Bidwell Park, Chico State, the Esplanade, and the Highway 99 corridor.
On fire losses, we plan for ash debris handling and containment so load-out stays controlled and the site is left cleaner for the next step.

Common Questions
We help with permit-ready paperwork and coordination as part of a full-service job. Final permit requirements depend on the property, structure type, and local agency review.
The demolition itself can move fast, and a typical 1,500 sq ft home may come down in about one day if site conditions allow. Permits, utility disconnection, and special handling needs usually drive the overall timeline.
Many homeowners see ballpark ranges like $8-15 per sq ft for straightforward residential demolition, but real pricing depends on access, disposal, utilities, concrete on site, and whether asbestos testing or abatement is required. The fastest way to get accurate upfront pricing is a written scope tied to your site conditions.
Debris is sorted, loaded, and exported to approved disposal facilities or recycling channels when feasible. That process matters because disposal planning affects both cost control and site cleanliness.
We can identify when asbestos or lead paint concerns need to be addressed before demolition starts. Testing and abatement requirements depend on the structure and must be handled correctly before full teardown.
Yes. Burned structures often require hazmat-aware handling, ash containment, and careful debris management, which is different from a standard teardown.
