The Hartford demolition contractor behind the quote
Hartford Demolition takes down houses, commercial units, interiors and concrete across Hartford. We survey before we price, file the permit ourselves, and put the parts other people leave as variations on the quote.
When two demolition prices are far apart it is almost never the same job priced differently. Usually one has surveyed for asbestos and the other has not, or one is keeping the salvaged steel while the other credits it back, or one has read the lease clause and the other has assumed.
None of that is visible from the totals. So our quotes itemise the survey, the filing, the waste tonnage and any material credit as separate lines, which makes them longer and occasionally makes them look more expensive.
Some of the most useful things a contractor can tell you cost us money. That a partial fill is fine and a full pool removal is unnecessary. That an opening with a lintel is better and cheaper than taking the whole wall out.
That crushing on your site does not pay because the volume is too small. That the drainage work you are asking about is another trade and we would be guessing. We would rather say those things and be trusted on the larger job than take every line offered.
Questions about our Hartford demolition contractor team
Yes, and we will send both without being asked. On demolition it is worth checking rather than assuming, along with the waste carrier registration.
The demolition is ours. Licensed abatement and engineer-designed temporary works involve specialists, and we tell you who is doing what rather than presenting it as all one crew.
We will give you a range and tell you what would move it, but not a fixed price. Without a survey that is a guess, and guesses on demolition are wrong by a lot.
We do. The utility disconnections have to be requested by the property owner, and we tell you which calls to make and in what order on the first conversation.
We stop and tell you, in writing, with what it changes. Most surprises on demolition are hazards or hidden services, and both are worse handled quietly.
