How to Start a Demolition Company in Los Angeles

A demolition is a popular and profitable branch of construction contracting. You can start a small-scale demolition business for a small-scale initial investment of $10,000 to $15,000. Many construction and remodeling companies subcontract out their demolition work, so there are always plenty of opportunities for small demolition companies in Los Angeles.

1. Create a business plan for your demolition company. A business plan serves as an outline for your company and will help you secure bank loans to begin your business. There are many templates available for constructing a business plan. Although if you have some start-up capital I would highly recommend hiring a professional business plan writer to help you craft a great looking business plan.

2. Get a business license. If you are starting a demolition company in Los Angeles you will need a demolition contractor’s license and probably a local business license. While your obtaining a proper license you should also incorporate as an S Corp, C Corp, or LLC (a lawyer can advise you on which is best for your you and your company) and retain an accountant to handle your taxes and day to day accounting.

3. Get the correct amount of insurance. If you are starting your own demolition company you will have to post a surety bond with the state. You will also need to buy insurance for your demolition company and also purchase worker’s comp.

4. Purchase tools … A demolition company needs tools so purchase the correct tools and heavy machinery for your demolition company.

5. Hire Good Employees … Hire well-trained and qualified demolition workers for your demolition company.

6. Promote your demolition company … Advertise your demolition company.

How to Check a Los Angeles Demolition Company’s License

Before you hire a demolition company in Los Angeles you should always verify that they have a current and up to date demolition contractor license. So how do you verify a demolition company’s license?

The state of California makes it easy to verify a demolition company’s license. The California Department of Consumer Affairs Contractors State License Board (CSLB) makes its easy to verify a demolition company’s license. The CSLB’s website provides a quick method of looking up your demolition company’s license information. The CSLB can also help verify your demolition company’s bond.

While you are checking on your demolition company’s license you should also verify your demolition company’s insurance. This part is easy too. Ask your demolition company for the name of their insurance agent. Call the insurance agent and have the insurance agent fax you a proof of insurance form. Also ask the insurance agent if there are any types of demolition your demolition company is prohibited from performing. Some insurance policies only cover certain types of demolition or may prohibit your demolition company from conducting some types of demolition work.

Verifying your demolition company’s license and insurance is a key part of hiring a demolition company in Los Angeles.

How Much Do Demolition Companies in Los Angeles Charge?

It’s impossible to say how much a demolition company in Los Angeles charges for demolition services. The rates demolition companies in Los Angeles charge depends on the size of the demolition company, the time of the year, what demolition services you need and what demolition services that demolition company offers, and even the time of the year. A demolition company may charge more during the Summer when they are busy, a demolition company may cut you a break during the winter months.

The best way to find out how much your demolition project will cost is to call around and ask for estimates.

Hauling Services and Demolition Contractors in Los Angeles

Many demolition companies and demolition contractors in Los Angeles also have their own hauling service. Why do many demolition contractors choose to also operate their own hauling service? A couple reasons actually.

Many demolition contractors operate their own hauling service because they have the necessary equipment. A hauling service in Los Angeles often require large trucks and bobcats. Many demolition contractors have large trucks in their fleets and use bobcats for demolition work. So on weeks where demolition work is slow a demolition contractor can stay buys by doing junk removal or hauling services.

Quite often demolition work goes hand in hand with a hauling service. Hauling services in Los Angeles are used to quickly clean a demolition worksite. So instead of subcontracting to an outside hauling service it makes a lot more sense for a demolition company to have their own hauling service instead.

Demolition With a Permit

In order to save time and money many homeowners opt to do their demolition and remodeling projects without a permit. While sometimes you can get away with it, doing a demolition project without a project is a mistake.

Always hire a licensed demolition company and always get a permit before beginning any kind of demolition project.
