Concrete and masonry, broken out and sorted

We remove concrete and masonry where a machine is too big, too heavy or too disruptive: basement floor sections, front steps, walkways, patios, interior chimneys, fireplace surrounds and brick or block walls. The work is done with electric breakers, saws and hand tools, so it can happen indoors and in tight backyards.

Concrete and brick do not go in the landfill bin. We sort them on site so they can be crushed into fill or reused, and haul away the rest.

Chimney and brick wall removal

Interior chimneys and brick walls in older homes are heavy and dusty to remove. We take them down from the top, brick by brick, inside a sealed work zone, protecting the floors below and checking what the chimney is supporting before anything comes out. If it carries structure, your contractor’s framing plan comes first.
