General Demolition FAQs

Every project starts with questions about what demolition involves and how it affects your property. Here’s what you need to know before getting started.

Is demolition safe for my property?

Yes. Safety is our top priority. We use precise techniques, modern tools, and protective measures to ensure that only the targeted structures are removed. We take extra care to protect your landscaping, foundation, utilities, and surrounding areas.

What types of demolition does NorTech handle?

We cover the full spectrum—from small-scale teardowns like sheds, pergolas, and decks to larger jobs such as patios, fences, driveways, and interior demolitions. We also provide precise non-structural demolition for remodels, as well as concrete removal. Our team adapts to projects of all sizes, ensuring the same safety and efficiency every time.

Do you handle both residential and commercial demolition?

Yes. NorTech services homes, offices, retail spaces, and light commercial buildings. Whether you’re preparing a kitchen for remodel or clearing an office space for renovation, our approach remains efficient, professional, and tailored to the property type.

How long does demolition usually take?

The timeline varies: small structures like sheds or pergolas can be removed in a few hours, while interior or concrete demolitions may take a day or more depending on size and complexity. We provide clear timelines before we start so you can plan confidently.

Do you provide cleanup after demolition?

Absolutely. We don’t leave behind debris piles for you to deal with. All materials are gathered, hauled away, and disposed of responsibly—leaving you with a clean, usable space that’s ready for the next step of your project.

Pricing & Estimates FAQs

Demolition costs can vary, so we prioritize transparency. Here’s what determines price and how NorTech ensures you always know what you’re paying for.

How do you price demolition jobs?

Pricing depends on several factors: the size of the structure, the materials involved, the site’s accessibility, and whether special disposal is needed (e.g., concrete or hazardous materials). We provide clear, itemized estimates before starting so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes. We provide upfront, no-obligation quotes. A technician evaluates the project, explains the steps involved, and gives you a transparent estimate before any work begins.

Is cleanup and haul-away included in the cost?

A: Always. We don’t leave you with piles of debris. Every demolition quote includes debris removal, disposal, and site cleanup, so your space is ready for the next step.

Are there hidden costs?

Never. Our Transparent Pricing Promise means the estimate you receive is the final price unless you request additional work beyond the original scope.

What payment options are available?

We accept major credit/debit cards, digital payments, and in some cases, financing options for larger projects. This ensures flexibility for our clients.

Preparation & Site Requirements FAQs

Before demolition begins, customers often wonder how to prepare their property. These questions explain what to expect and what’s required.

Do I need to be home during demolition?

Not always. For exterior demolitions, you don’t need to be present if we have access to the site. For interior demolitions, we recommend being available to confirm details and allow access at the start.

How soon can you start a demolition project?

Smaller jobs like shed or fence removal can often be scheduled within just a few days. Larger projects — especially those requiring permits or utility disconnections — may take a bit longer, but we work quickly to get you on the schedule.

Do I need permits for demolition?

For many projects—especially structural demolitions or concrete removal—permits may be required. NorTech helps guide you through the permitting process and ensures compliance with local regulations.

How should I prepare my space for demolition?

For exterior projects, clear personal items and provide driveway or gate access. For interiors, remove furniture, valuables, or anything you want to keep. If utilities need to be shut off, we’ll guide you on what’s required (or handle it directly if arranged).

How do you protect surrounding areas?

We use tarps, protective barriers, and precise dismantling techniques to minimize dust, debris, and potential damage. For interior demolitions, we seal off unaffected areas to keep your home or business clean.

Do utilities need to be shut off before demolition?

Yes. For interior or structural demolition, we ensure that gas, water, and electricity are safely disconnected or capped. Our technicians coordinate with you or your utility provider to handle this properly.

Safety & Environmental FAQs

Demolition involves powerful tools and heavy materials. NorTech emphasizes safety—for you, your property, and the environment.

How do you ensure safety during demolition?

Our team follows strict safety protocols, including protective equipment, controlled dismantling, and dust suppression techniques. We also conduct pre-demolition inspections to identify potential hazards.

How do I know if a wall or structure is load-bearing?

A: Don’t worry — we check before touching anything. Our team carefully evaluates which elements are structural. If structural removal is required, we coordinate with engineers and use proper reinforcement methods.

What happens to the debris after demolition?

All debris is loaded, hauled away, and disposed of responsibly. We sort materials where possible—recycling metals, concrete, and wood to reduce landfill waste.

How do you minimize dust, noise, or vibrations?

We use dust barriers, vacuums, water-spraying techniques, and controlled dismantling. Noise is minimized by using quieter tools where possible and working within normal hours. Vibrations are controlled with careful dismantling techniques instead of brute-force approaches.

Is demolition noisy or disruptive?

While some noise and vibration are unavoidable, we work efficiently to minimize disruption. For residential areas, we follow noise ordinances and schedule work to respect your neighborhood.

Do you recycle materials?

Yes. Concrete, metals, wood, and other recyclable materials are separated whenever possible. We prioritize eco-friendly disposal methods to minimize environmental impact.

Can demolition release hazardous materials?

In some older structures, materials like asbestos or lead paint may be present. If suspected, we recommend professional testing before demolition. NorTech works with certified partners to handle hazardous materials safely if required.

How do you keep projects stress-free for homeowners?

We manage the process from start to finish—planning, execution, cleanup, and disposal—so you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors or worry about the mess.

Specific Services FAQs

Every demolition type comes with unique questions. Here’s what to expect depending on the structure being removed.

How is shed or small structure removal handled?

We dismantle sheds, pergolas, and small outbuildings piece by piece, protecting surrounding lawns and gardens. Once torn down, debris is loaded directly into our disposal trucks for a seamless process.

What about deck, patio, and fence demolition?

We carefully dismantle wood, composite, or concrete decks, remove old patios, and take down fences. We handle posts, footings, and foundations, ensuring nothing unsafe remains behind.

How does interior demolition work?

We remove non-structural walls, flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, and drywall without compromising structural integrity. Dust barriers and cleanup measures ensure the rest of your property remains protected and livable.

How is concrete demolition and removal done?

We use specialized equipment to break up driveways, patios, and foundations. Concrete is then loaded, hauled away, and often recycled as base material for new construction.

After Demolition FAQs

Once the structure is removed, what happens next? These FAQs explain how NorTech ensures you’re ready for your next project.

Will the site be ready for new construction immediately?

Yes. We leave a clean, debris-free site. Depending on your project, minor grading or leveling may be required, which we can also handle or coordinate.

Do you repair or patch areas after demolition?

For interior demolitions, we ensure surrounding walls, floors, or ceilings are protected and ready for the next stage of renovation. Exterior demolitions are left leveled and clean, ready for rebuild or landscaping.

Do you coordinate with contractors for the next phase?

Yes. Many of our clients use NorTech for both demolition and the next stage—whether that’s construction, remodeling, or installation. We seamlessly coordinate so your project flows without downtime.
