Say what comes down, what stays, and whether the foundation, slab, driveway and trees are part of the job. Clear scope is the only way to get comparable quotes.
Demolition needs a permit, utilities must be shut off and capped first, and older buildings need an asbestos inspection. Ask who handles each step and put it in writing.
How we check credentials →Compare disposal, backfill and grading, site protection, insurance and cleanup terms, and check verification status, not just the bottom line.
Demolition is mostly paperwork and planning before the machine shows up: permits, utility shutoffs, an asbestos inspection and a disposal plan. Use this page to pick the right service, request quotes through Find a Pro, and check the details that separate a clean job from a costly one. If hazardous materials turn up, pair your demolition pro with asbestos removal pros, and for new work on the cleared site see excavation and general contractors.
Tell pros the structure type, size, number of stories, whether there is a basement, and what stays. Say whether you want the foundation removed and the hole backfilled and graded, or only the structure above grade. Photos and a site plan help pros quote accurately.
Michigan's building code requires a permit for demolition. Paid residential work above a threshold set by state law requires a LARA license, and House Wrecking is a listed Maintenance & Alteration trade. Under the federal asbestos rules administered by EGLE, covered demolitions need a thorough asbestos inspection first and online notice to EGLE at least ten working days before work, even when no asbestos is found. Anyone excavating must notify MISS DIG 811 at least three business days ahead.
Compare who pulls the permit, who arranges utility disconnects, the asbestos inspection and any abatement, dumpster and disposal terms, foundation removal, clean fill and grading, and protection of neighboring property. Get every item in writing, then check verification status as described in How We Vet.
Pros serve all six counties, but the permit comes from the legal municipality, which is not always the city on your mailing address. In Detroit, BSEED issues wrecking permits and licenses wrecking contractors, and DWSD must issue a Demolition Water Clearance first. Browse by city or county, such as Wayne or Macomb.
