Light Demolition in Allen, TX

Most of Allen went up through the 1990s and 2000s. Those houses have had one or two decades of the same family in them, and the kitchens and baths are where it shows.

Before the cabinet crew or tile setter shows up, the old rooms have to be emptied down to the studs you want kept. We pull the kitchen cabinets and countertops, lift out a vanity, chip up tile and carry it to the trailer.

We don't install anything, and we don't touch the plumbing or wiring. Your plumber or electrician handles disconnects, then we clear the room and sweep it.

Out back, the calls are about wood that's done. Gray decking with soft spots, a fence leaning along the alley, a shed from the original build with a sagging door.

Each of these leaves a pile the city won't pick up, which is the whole reason to hand it off. We tear it down, load as we go and leave with every board.

Some Allen calls come straight from the owner, who wants the old room gone before choosing finishes. Others come from a remodeler who would rather keep their own crew on the build.

Either way, we work to the line you give us. Tape off what stays, tell us where the trailer can sit, and we take it from there.

Nothing structural comes out on our watch. If a wall between the kitchen and living room might be load-bearing, an engineer or general contractor needs to look first.

Where a city requires a permit, it's usually pulled by the general contractor or the homeowner. If one is needed and nobody else is pulling it, we can usually pull it ourselves for an added fee that varies by city.

Our permit guide for Collin and Grayson towns walks through how each city handles it. If your remodeler already has the paperwork going, we simply work inside their plan.

For a kitchen, open the cabinet doors and shoot each wall, plus the countertop edge so we can tell laminate from stone. For a bath, get the vanity, the floor and the shower walls.

Outside, stand back far enough to show the whole deck or fence run, then take one shot of the gate. That gate width decides how we carry things out.

You get an honest estimate up front and a firm price before anything comes down. You pay at the end, once you're satisfied.
