Demolition

Demolition Services in Fairfield County, From the First Call to Flat Ground

Demolition is the main work here, and most of it is residential. A whole house teardown is the biggest version. The structure comes down, the foundation comes out, the cellar hole is filled and the lot is left flat. Smaller jobs are the same work at a smaller size: a leaning barn, a garage, a shed, a slab. Commercial work runs the same way, and commercial demolition gets scheduled around the owner or the general contractor. Everything comes down with excavators, working the building down in pieces.

A Connecticut teardown starts on paper. The demolition permit comes from the town building official in the town where the building stands. Before it is granted, the town wants utility disconnects confirmed and the abutting owners notified by certified mail. Where the rules call for it, a licensed asbestos inspector surveys the building first. Older buildings can sit through a town waiting period, and state law allows up to 180 days. We tell you what your town will ask for and line the job up around it. Then the excavators come in, the debris is hauled away, and the cellar hole is filled to grade.

One Contractor From the Teardown to the Final Grade

All Star Wrecking is based in Monroe and takes jobs across Fairfield County. The background here is general construction, including commercial buildings and water main work for cities and towns. A teardown gets planned in the same order a build does.

Demolition is the first thing we do. Houses, barns, garages, sheds and commercial buildings come down with excavators, and the debris is hauled away. The same machines dig the foundation, so excavation and backfill are part of the same job.

Some jobs take a lot back to open ground. The land clearing, the dig and the final grade come from one company. Estimates are free, and the work and the price come to you in writing after we look at the site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Demolition, Excavation or Land Clearing?

The questions homeowners, builders and property owners across Fairfield County ask us most. If yours is not here, call and we will answer it.

Call (412) 944-9931

How do you price a demolition job?
Price comes from the size of the building, what it is built of, and what is inside it. The lot matters too, since a tight site near the road works differently than an open acre. Hauling and disposal are part of it, because demolition debris has to go to a permitted facility. The estimate is free, and the price comes back in writing once we have seen the site.
How big or small a job do you take?
Both ends of it. A single slab out back is a job, and so is breaking out an old foundation. So is a whole house, and so is a commercial building. Small structures like a detached garage, a barn or a shed come down the same way a house does. The debris is hauled away either way.
What has to happen before a building can come down in Connecticut?
The demolition permit comes from the building official in the town where the building sits. First the town wants the utility disconnects confirmed and the abutting property owners notified by certified mail. State law lets a town impose a waiting period of up to 180 days before a demolition permit is granted. Many Fairfield County towns use one, and some have none. We tell you what your town will ask for and line the job up around it.
Does a teardown need an asbestos inspection?
Often, yes. Connecticut requires commercial, industrial, institutional and public buildings to be inspected by an asbestos consultant before demolition. The same goes for residential buildings with five or more units. A licensed asbestos inspector does that survey. A licensed abatement contractor takes out anything found before the building comes down. A demolition notification also goes to the state at least ten days ahead.
What happens to the debris?
It is hauled away. Demolition debris counts as bulky waste in Connecticut, so it goes to a permitted facility. Concrete, brick and asphalt pieces count as clean fill under the state rules, so those can often be recycled. Metal usually goes to a scrap yard. Stumps and clearing debris go to a permitted facility, since a stump is not clean fill.
Who handles the utility disconnects and the buried lines?
The utility companies cut the service and confirm it to the town. That confirmation is part of the demolition permit file. Before any digging, Call Before You Dig marks the public utility lines on the property. That call goes in at least two full working days ahead. Private lines the owner put in, like a feed to a barn or a shed, are not marked. Tell us where those run.
Where do you work?
We are based in Monroe and work across Fairfield County. That takes in Trumbull, Shelton, Stratford, Bridgeport, Newtown, Danbury and Fairfield. It also takes in Westport, Norwalk, Stamford and the towns just over the New Haven County line. The towns we cover are listed on one page.
How soon can you come look at a job?
Call (412) 944-9931 and we will set up a time to come see it. How soon the work starts depends on the town. The permit, the utility disconnects and any waiting period come first. Once those are cleared, the teardown itself is usually the short part of the job.
