Precise Demolition

A surgical demolition is when a demolition contractor demolishes a part of a building but preserves a large portion of the building standing for renovations.

An example of surgical demolition might be an old 5 story hotel where the top two floors have been damaged by fire. Normally a demolition contractor would knock the entire structure down, but if a developer wants to preserve and renovate the property a demolition contractor might be called upon to surgically remove the burned out floors while preserving the rest of the structures.

You see a lot of surgical demolitions in cases where an old commercial structure is being converted into a mixed use property. Take for instance an old factory that is being converted into a condo with shops and a movie theater. A developer may wish to preserve the exterior of the factory but gut the boiler rooms. Once again a demolition contractor is brought in to surgically demolish pieces of the factory.

Surgical demolition is a highly specialized field of demolition. Only a few dozen demolition contractors do it, and those demolition contractors are mostly in urban areas like Chicago and Los Angeles where older buildings are frequently being repurposed for other uses.

Backyard Junk Removal

Our backyard wasn’t in terrible shape to begin with. I mean, we’re not hoarders or anything, but looking around our Thousand Oaks backyard this spring I realized that we could get rid of a lot of junk. We had the swing set we bought for our twins … twenty years ago. We had a set of beach bicycles that we never used. And a bunch of yard toys, like a ping pong table, we had bought for the kids over the year. 

I wanted to get rid of all that stuff and start fresh with a new garden. 

So our solution was to hire a junk removal service in Thousand Oaks that could clean out our backyard and haul away the junk we need hauled away. I spent about a week shopping around for a reputable junk removal service that served the Thousand Oaks area. I checked internet reviews, compared prices, and asked for estimates over the phone.

Finally we found a junk removal service in the Thousand Oaks area that met our needs and one that would also recycle our junk instead of just throwing it all away in a landfill. 

The backyard clean out process took about two hours. Our junk removal service hauled away the swing set, bicycles, and yard toys. They also helped clean out some junk — a few boxes of clothes and old CDs — from the garage.

Now in place of an old swing set we have a lovely flower bed and vegetable garden. Thanks junk removal services!

There comes a time when you require a much larger kitchen than your current set up. You have always dreamed of your master kitchen with many cabinets and a large island where you can prep all your delectable foodie recipes. Well getting to that point can sometimes be hard and confusing. You must first wish your current kitchen a fond farewell as you get ready to destroy and demolish everything maintained within. You can do this job yourself or you can hire a group of professionals that do this on a daily basis year in and year out.

If you take the Do-It-Yourself route, you surly will encounter many set backs and problems. For one, you must always wear safety equipment and also be aware that you know what you are demolishing and taking down. All too often the novice weekend warrior will pick up his mighty sledgehammer of Mjolnir and start swinging around with recklessness. Causing many problems in the long run and maybe even getting hurt in the process. You should really learn the lay out of your edifice and know where every wire is located before you decided to break down that bearing load.

Why don’t you save yourself a headache and trouble and just hire a kitchen demolition company? There are many to be found locally and are always ready to do a stellar job in your home or business. Demolition Services companies can keep you safe and not worrying about what can or cannot happen when demoing a kitchen. the best part of hiring a demolition services company is that you don’t have to worry about picking up all the leftover debris! They will actually take care of the demolition and clean up as well! Who would think of it right?
