How to Prepare A Property for Demolition

1. Home Inspection and Planning

There are imperative measures to take before demolishing your home. Applications may vary by location, but they will outline the process in detail. Before demolition begins, you’ll need a professional home inspector to note potential hazards such as mold, asbestos, and structural hazards.

2. Disconnect Utility Services

You’re required to provide letters stating the following services are disconnected:

Water
Gas
Electric
Sewer
Phone and Cable

Not only is it safe for our demolition crew, but you’re less likely to cause problems for your neighbors if a connected line gets cut. You’ll also have to report other details about the property, such as how many oil tanks you have and their locations.

3. Notify Your Neighbors

Demolishing a home is a large project that requires heavy machinery in most cases. The process will disturb your neighbors, especially if they’re unaware of the project in the first place. In many New Jersey townships, you must submit proof that you’ve notified your neighbors. There’s nothing like jumping out of your sleep to the sound of bulldozers and excavators on a Monday morning!

4. Collect Salvageable Items

Before the big day, you can recover any materials you want to save, such as doors, cabinets, flooring, and anything else you can donate or use to rebuild your home.

5. Set up a Temporary Barrier to Contain Debris

In some townships, a barrier or fence must be installed to contain your demolition debris and keep unauthorized guests away from the site. In this instance, we can set it up for you and keep the surrounding area safe.

Home Demolition Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need permits to demolish my home in New Jersey?

In New Jersey, a demolition permit is required when making structural changes to any property or those affecting electrical, plumbing, or HVAC. It shows that you have clearance to demolish the property and will take the necessary steps to prepare for demolition. While you can acquire a permit and do it yourself, hiring a licensed contractor like us, keeps the process running smoothly and efficiently.

Do I need deconstruction or demolition services?

There are many reasons that you may choose one option over another. Deconstruction involves removing salvageable materials to donate, reuse, or recycle. Contrarily, demolition involves tearing down a structure without the intention to reuse materials. For newer structures, deconstruction is an eco-friendly method of removing a home. If the property is compromised, say an abandoned building, demolition may be the best option with faster results. We provide both services at Junk Police, so we will recommend the best method when we survey the property and create a plan.

How long does it take to demolish a residential property?

Expect a home demolition to range from a few days to a few weeks. The time frame varies depending on the size of the structure and your preferred demolition method. Deconstruction takes longer than demolition, with other factors playing a role in the length of a project. No matter the potential hang-ups, we provide an accurate timeline and constantly communicate anything that may cause a delay.

How much does it cost to tear down a home?

Junk Police provides fair, volume-based pricing with every service. When you book an appointment, we’ll survey the property and create an effective demolition plan. We’ll then give you a fair, honest quote based on the size of the home. We include transportation and disposal fees in your final bill. There are never any surprises once our job is complete.

I highly recommend JUNK POLICE for their exceptional service. We required prompt shed removal, and they efficiently demolished and cleared the site, including interior debris, within a day of our call. Their team exhibited professionalism, courtesy, and quiet work ethic, all at a competitive price, unlike another company that quoted triple the cost.
