The Difficult Task of Roof Demolition

Have you ever faced yourself with the task of demolishing a roof and having to get rid of all of those shingles? yes it can be a bothersome task and one that is very difficult to accomplish, especially on a hot day. Don’t even think about getting this task done in the Summertime as you can get dehydrated and sometimes even end up in the ER. There are many negatives to getting this type of job done yourself and that is why we always recommend that you should hire a Demolition Services Company. Red up on our tips and get down to hiring one of the best demolition companies in the business!

If you are doing your own roof demolition you are about to find out that roofing material is extremely heavy. Roof demolition isn’t particularly hard from a technical standpoint. It is a laborious process that takes a lot of time however. The main key to a proper roof demo is clean up. So how do you clean up during a roof demolition in Los Angeles?

The easiest solution, whether you are a demolition contractor or a do-it-yourselfer, is to hire a hauling service that cleans up roofing materials. You will want to find a hauling service in Los Angeles that has a large truck and that handles construction debris removal. Some hauling services just handle household junk removal or appliance removal.

You will want to book your hauling service about a week in advance. Plan to have your hauling service show up either on the same day of your roof demo or the day after. Also make sure you ask your hauling service if they charge extra for labor.

Information on Household Demolition Services

House demolition is used to knock down houses and structure, demolish the foundation, and reduce it to “the dirt”. House demolition is frequently used to knock down old houses that are no longer ft for habitation or to demolish an old home to replace it with a newer home. Some cities like Detroit are using house demolition as a way to reduce the size of the entire city and eliminate abandon homes that create crime.

But do you need a permit for a house demolition?

The answer is almost always yes. If you, or your demolition contractor or company, are going to demolish a house you will need a permit. Most cities are fairly strict in the requirements for a housing demolition permit. A house demolition has to be done in a certain way in compliance with certain laws and ordinances.

Depending on your demolition company, and the area you live in, you may have to obtain a house demolition permit yourself before hiring a demolition company. Otherwise your demolition company will have to obtain the permit.

Store Demolition

So sad to see so many storefronts be demolished and destroyed but we have a job to do here at the Demolition Company. We were contracted to demolish a local general store that i had been going to for years! It was sad to see the inside of the building empty and junk al over the inside of the store. We first had to hire a junk removal services company to come over and remove all of the junk that was left inside. Once most of the trash and junk was removed we had to get the job done of demolition and get most of the building taken down. We took our heavy machinery and sledgehammers and we just had to take it all down as soon as we could.

We took down some of the heavy brick walls and i came upon a box of old candy that i used to love! It was a bittersweet moment but we had to get the job done. We tore it down and razed the ground and then we were contracted to compact the soil and make it nice and straight.

Resolution Junk Removal

Disputes happen. Even if you’ve been studiously careful in selecting a demolition company something may go wrong and you could end up in a dispute with yourdemolition company. Here are a couple ways to resolve a dispute with a demolition company without going to court.

1. An informal meeting … You can do this either over the phone or in person. In person works best typically. Openly discuss your dispute with your demolition contractor and see if you cannot come to some sort of agreement. Be sure you read through your contract before hand. Make lots of notes and note what exactly what you want to talk about. Make sure you do more than just talk at your contractor. Make sure you listen to him as well. Avoid harsh language, name-calling, and negative emotions. People are less likely to offer solutions to a dispute or problem in the presence of emotion.

2. Mediation … Mediation involves you, a representative of your demolition company (probably the contractor himself), and a mediator. A mediator will discuss the situation, find the facts, and try to find a solution to your problem. Mediators can either by trained professionals or a neutral third party. In larger cities you can find mediation centers to help resolve your dispute.

3. Arbitration … Depending on your state you may also be able to resolve a dispute with your demolition company through an arbitration process. Not all states have an arbitration and you need to be careful. Some parties will only agree to arbitration if its binding which means that whatever decision is arrived at is final and won’t be appealed in court.

Of course, court is always an option if you have a dispute with your demolition company but court should be the last avenue to solving a dispute.

Demolition Contractor Questions

Before you jump into a job with a demolition contractor there are a few questions you need to ask. We featured of five of them yesterday. Today we will be featuring five more questions to ask your demolition contractor before he starts a demolition job.

1. Ask Your Demolition Contractor How Construction Waste will be disposed of and by whom. Often demolition companies will sub contract to a hauling service, or have a hauling service themselves to get rid of waste generate by your demolition project. If your demolition contractor is subcontracting its hauling service to another company verify that they are license waste haulers in your area.

2. Ask your Demolition Contractor for References. You want to request at least two references from prior clients.

3. Ask Questions and Get Specific. If a estimate seems too good to be true or to be lacking in specifics drill down and ask questions like does the quote include debris removal? How “clean” will the site be left? How will payment be made if the demolition does not comply with the contract? What exclusions and limitations apply to the contract? Which party — the demolition contractor or the property owner — benefits from the recycled materials. Get specific with each item and get each item in writing. Be very careful in agreeing to a contract that does not contain specifics.

4. Get a Demolition Contractor’s Credit References. Ask for at least two recent suppliers or credit references to ensure that your demolition contractor pays his sub-contractors. If your demolition contractor doesn’t pay his subcontractors you could be legally liable to do so.

If you ask these questions of your demolition contractor you can protect yourself and your demolition project. And ensure that your demolition project goes smoothly.

Los Angeles Compaction Services

Compaction is a key part of any construction or demolition project. Demolition companies frequently provide compaction, along with excavation, as a complimentary service. Most demolition projects will require some degree of excavation and some compaction. Since demolition companies typically have the heavy equipment needed for demolition, excavation and compaction it makes sense for demolition companies to offer this service.

Compaction is necessary for almost all demolition and construction project. Compaction provides a stable surface that allows proper drainage of rain and ground water. Compaction prevents the ground from settling and stops concrete and asphalt from cracking.

A licensed demolition companies can help you with compaction.

Surgical 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.
