Demolition is more than tearing things down – it’s the strategic start to something new. At United A&E Construction, we treat demolition as a precise and professional process, paving the way for seamless renovations, new construction, or site development. Whether you’re preparing for a full-scale remodel, removing outdated structures, or clearing space for a new addition, our demolition services are designed to be safe, efficient, and minimally disruptive.
Our team of licensed demolition experts understands the structural, environmental, and logistical complexities that go into each project. From interior strip-outs to whole-building takedowns, we approach every job with a plan that prioritizes safety, code compliance, and client satisfaction. We work closely with homeowners, architects, and engineers to ensure that demolition is completed on time and on budget, with the site left clean and ready for the next phase of work.
We handle a wide range of demolition projects, including:
- Interior Demolition: Removing non-load-bearing walls, flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, and more as part of remodel prep.
- Selective Demolition: Targeted removal of specific structural elements or materials, preserving the rest of the building.
- Garage and Shed Demolition: Dismantling smaller outbuildings with safe disposal of all debris.
- Concrete Removal: Breaking and hauling away old driveways, walkways, and slabs.
- Structural Demolition: Full takedown of homes or additions, executed with engineered safety measures.
Before any project begins, we conduct thorough site assessments, identify hazardous materials, and secure all necessary permits. We utilize industry-leading tools and methods to minimize noise, dust, and disruption. Our crew follows strict safety protocols and ensures that all debris is responsibly sorted and disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Demolition often marks the first major milestone in a construction project. Done right, it sets the tone for everything that follows. With United A&E Construction, you’re not just getting demolition – you’re getting peace of mind. We take pride in our professionalism, our attention to detail, and our ability to turn the messiest phase of construction into a smooth, managed operation.
Why Demolition Matters
Many people underestimate the complexity and importance of proper demolition. It’s not just about tearing things down. Every structure, whether old or new, requires a careful and thoughtful approach to disassembly. Done improperly, demolition can lead to structural damage, safety hazards, code violations, and costly delays. Done correctly, it sets the stage for successful construction.
At United A&E Construction, we follow a methodical approach that prioritizes planning, safety, and communication. We evaluate load-bearing structures, utilities, hazardous materials, and environmental impact before beginning any demolition. This ensures minimal risk and maximum efficiency.
Our Demolition Process
- Initial Consultation: We begin with an on-site visit and detailed discussion about your goals and constraints. We assess the site and determine the best demolition approach.
- Site Analysis and Planning: We review blueprints, inspect for asbestos, lead, and other hazardous materials, and outline logistics, access points, and disposal plans.
- Permit Acquisition: Our team secures all necessary permits and communicates with local building departments to ensure full compliance.
- Utility Disconnection: Before any physical work begins, we safely disconnect gas, electricity, water, and other utilities as required.
- Demolition Execution: Our team performs the demolition using advanced tools and equipment, maintaining strict safety standards throughout.
- Debris Removal and Recycling: We sort materials for reuse, recycling, or responsible disposal, keeping sustainability and regulations in mind.
- Site Preparation for Next Phase: We clear and level the site, making it ready for renovation or new construction without delay.
Residential vs. Commercial Demolition
While most of our projects are residential, we also handle small-scale commercial demolition. From strip-outs in retail spaces to clearing office interiors, we provide the same precision and care no matter the setting. Commercial projects often involve tight deadlines and strict coordination, and we rise to the challenge every time.
In residential settings, we understand the emotional and logistical challenges that come with tearing down parts of a home. We communicate clearly, minimize disruption to your daily life, and ensure a respectful and professional approach throughout the project.

Selective and Surgical Demolition
Not every job requires tearing everything down. Often, strategic demolition of targeted areas is more effective. Selective demolition requires a deep understanding of structural engineering, especially when preserving adjacent walls, plumbing, or electrical systems.
We specialize in “surgical” demolition that allows for remodeling or expansions without compromising the integrity of the remaining structure. Our crew is trained to work around delicate systems and leave clean cut lines for builders to continue their work with ease.
Safety is Our Top Priority
Demolition carries inherent risks. That’s why safety is at the core of everything we do. Our team undergoes regular safety training, and we use industry-standard protective gear and methods. Every job includes a safety briefing, clear emergency protocols, and real-time supervision.
We also implement dust control measures, sound mitigation strategies, and traffic management plans when necessary. Your safety, and that of your family or neighbors, comes first.
Environmentally Responsible Demolition
Sustainability is central to our demolition philosophy. We recycle and repurpose as much material as possible, including concrete, metal, wood, and drywall. We also work with local recycling facilities and donation centers to reduce landfill waste.
We aim to:
- Divert up to 75% of demolition waste
- Identify materials suitable for reuse
- Separate hazardous materials safely
- Protect nearby trees, landscaping, and structures
Cost Transparency and Financing
Demolition costs depend on the size, structure type, access, materials involved, and presence of hazardous materials. At United A&E Construction, we provide detailed estimates upfront, breaking down every line item for full transparency.
We offer flexible financing options for larger demolition and remodeling projects. Our team works with reputable lenders to help spread out payments in a way that fits your financial plan.
