Safe demolition that keeps your property and timeline protected
When you hire demolition New Orleans work, you are buying more than a machine on site. You are buying planning, safety controls, and a removal plan that keeps the rest of the property intact.
We handle selective interior demo (kitchens, baths, flooring, plaster, framing), exterior tear outs (porches, decks, sheds, garages), and full site clearing for rebuilds. Before work starts, we walk the area, identify utilities and access points, and set a debris and load out plan that fits your lot.
New Orleans demolition often means tight driveways, shared fences, and older structures where dust control and careful separation of materials matter. We focus on controlled removal, clean staging, and a final sweep so crews coming after us can start right away.

More ways we can help

Built around control
What you can expect from our demolition team
Controlled tear out, not random smash and haul
We isolate work areas, protect surfaces that stay, and remove materials in the right order. That means fewer damaged studs, cleaner edges for rebuilds, and an easier inspection path when permits are involved.
Dust and debris management that fits occupied properties
For interior demo, we use containment and practical dust control so debris stays where it belongs. We keep walk paths clear, stage loads safely, and finish with a thorough cleanup and magnet sweep where needed.
Tight access solutions for New Orleans lots
Many properties have narrow side yards, limited street parking, and close neighbors. We plan equipment choice, dumpster placement, and load out routes so the site stays workable without blocking everything around it.
Concrete and heavy material handled correctly
Slabs, footings, and masonry create real weight and volume fast. We break, load, and haul efficiently, then leave the area level and ready for grading, forming, or utility work.
Clear communication with homeowners and GCs
We confirm what is coming out and what is staying before day one. If we find hidden conditions like rot, prior patches, or unexpected framing, we stop and review options before moving forward.

Local site planning
About demolition new orleans
We focus on safe site clearing and removal for homeowners, property managers, and contractors who need the job done without damaging what is staying. That starts with a walk through to confirm the scope, access, and utility locations, then a plan for containment, equipment, and debris hauling.
Whether you need selective interior demo for a remodel or full structural removal, our goal is the same: leave you with a clean, build ready site and a clear understanding of what happened, what was removed, and what the next crew can expect when they arrive.
Project pricing
How Much Does Demolition Cost in New Orleans?
Demolition in New Orleans typically ranges from about $1,500 to $8,000 for smaller projects, while full house or building demolition often runs $12,000 to $35,000+ depending on size and site conditions. Selective interior demo for remodel prep is usually at the lower end, and structural tear downs with heavy hauling trend higher.
Final pricing depends on structure size, materials (masonry, plaster, concrete), access for equipment and dumpsters, utility disconnects, and how separated debris must be. The exact cost is confirmed after an on site inspection and written scope.
From inspection to handoff
Our process for demolition New Orleans projects
-
01
Site walk and scope confirmation
We review what is being removed, what must be protected, and how crews will access the work area. We also flag items that may need special handling, like old plaster, masonry, or buried concrete.
-
02
Plan for safety, containment, and load out
Before the first tear out, we set the work zone, choose equipment, and plan debris flow to trucks or containers. For interiors, we set practical dust control and protect adjacent finishes.
-
03
Controlled demolition and debris hauling
We remove materials in a sequence that reduces damage and keeps the site safe. Debris is loaded, hauled, and the work area is kept orderly so other trades can work around the schedule.
-
04
Final cleanup and handoff
We do a detailed sweep and remove remaining debris, then walk the site with you or your GC to confirm the scope is complete and the area is ready for the next phase.
If you are planning a remodel or teardown, start with a written scope so everyone agrees on what is coming out, how debris is handled, and what the finished site will look like.

Service area
We provide New Orleans demolition services throughout the city, with planning that matches local property layouts and building styles.
Uptown and the Garden District
Older homes and close property lines make controlled demolition and dust containment important, especially when preserving framing, porches, or exterior details for a remodel.
Mid City
Many properties sit on compact lots with busy streets nearby, so equipment staging, dumpster placement, and efficient load out help keep the work moving without clogging access.
Lakeview
Rebuild and renovation activity often means slab, driveway, and masonry demo, where heavy material hauling and keeping the site level matters for the next construction phase.
Gentilly
Larger yards can help with staging, but older structures still require careful selective tear out to avoid damaging what stays, particularly during kitchen and bath renovations.
Bywater and the Marigny
Narrow streets and tight side yards call for smart access planning and controlled removal, so debris and dust stay contained and neighboring structures are protected.

FAQs
What types of demolition do you handle in New Orleans?
We handle selective interior demolition, exterior tear outs, concrete removal, and full structural demolition. Projects range from remodel prep to complete site clearing for rebuilds, with a focus on safe, controlled removal.
Can you do demolition without damaging the parts of the house that are staying?
Yes, selective demolition is planned around what must remain. We protect adjacent surfaces, cut back to clean lines, and remove materials in sequence so the rebuild starts with solid framing and predictable conditions.
Do you haul away debris and leave the site clean?
Yes, debris hauling and cleanup are part of the demolition scope. We plan container or truck load out, keep the work area orderly during the job, and finish with a final sweep so the site is ready for the next trade.
Do you handle permits and utility disconnects for new orleans demolition projects?
We can coordinate around permit requirements and the timing of utility disconnects as part of planning. The exact responsibilities depend on the job and property, and we confirm them during the site walk and written scope.
How quickly can you start a demolition job?
Start time depends on scope, access, and whether permits or utility work are needed first. After an initial review, we can propose the next available window and a realistic timeline for completion.
What should I do before your crew arrives?
Secure personal items, confirm what stays and what goes, and make sure we have clear access to the work area. If there are concerns like shared fences, neighbors, or limited parking, mention them during scheduling.
