How We Work

Our selective demolition process follows a clear path from assessment to completion. Every step is documented and inspected.

1

Site Assessment

2

Permitting & Planning

We handle all required permits with the Department of Building and Safety and create a waste management plan for recycling.

Selective Removal

Our crew carefully removes targeted materials, utilities, and fixtures while protecting surrounding walls, floors, and systems.

4

Debris Removal & Cleanup

All debris is hauled away and routed to certified recycling facilities. We meet Los Angeles County's 65% diversion rate requirement.

5

Final Inspection

Building and Safety inspects the site, verifies compliance, and issues a completion certificate. Your space is ready for the next phase.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Our Services

We handle selective demolition for homes and businesses across Los Angeles County.

Interior Demolition for Kitchens & Bathrooms

Kitchen and bathroom removals are common in Los Angeles County homes and rental units. We demolish cabinets, counters, fixtures, and flooring while preserving walls, electrical systems, and plumbing lines. This is ideal prep work before a remodel.

Many Westside properties have older kitchens where selective demo can turn a cramped space into an open layout. We handle the rough work cleanly so contractors can focus on building new.

Commercial Interior Demolition

Office buildouts, retail teardowns, and tenant improvements in Downtown LA and Long Beach often need selective demolition to remove partitions, drop ceilings, flooring, and fixtures. We work around active utilities and minimize downtime.

Commercial buildings require precise permitting and often hazardous material surveys. We manage all inspections and ensure compliance before, during, and after work.

Pool & Patio Demolition

Swimming pools, hot tubs, patios, and decks can be selectively removed to reclaim yard space. We saw-cut concrete, drain pools, and haul debris. Pasadena and Beverly Hills properties often undergo pool removal for updated landscaping.

Removal is only the first step—the site is prepped for new construction or landscape design. We dispose of all concrete and fill materials responsibly.

Structural Wall & Partition Removal

Opening up a floor plan requires careful structural assessment. We remove non-load-bearing walls and partitions to create larger, connected spaces. Load-bearing walls need engineer plans and proper support before removal.

Santa Monica homes and LA rental buildings often benefit from modernized layouts. We coordinate with engineers and ensure all building code compliance throughout the process.

Why It Matters

Selective demolition is safer, cleaner, and more precise than full-structure removal.

Precision & Preservation

Selective demolition removes only what you don't want, keeping the rest intact. This protects existing systems and reduces repair costs for the contractor later.

When you remove only what needs to go, the rest of your structure stays solid and ready for the next phase.

Compliance & Safety

Los Angeles County requires permits for all demolition work. We handle inspections, waste plans, and recycling compliance so you don't have to. Hazardous material abatement is managed by licensed professionals.

Every project meets or exceeds local and state building codes. Our crews are trained in safety protocols specific to selective demo in tight residential and commercial spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about selective demolition in Los Angeles County

Do I need a permit for selective demolition in Los Angeles?

Yes. A permit is necessary when demolishing any building or structure on private property. The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety issues these permits.

How long does the permitting process take?

Permitting timelines vary by project size. Express permits for small projects can be issued without prior review, while over-the-counter permits typically take 45 minutes to an hour. Larger projects require more detailed plan checks.

What happens to demolition debris in Los Angeles County?

Los Angeles County enforces a 65% diversion rate for construction and demolition debris. Materials are routed to certified recycling facilities where concrete, wood, metals, and drywall are sorted and reused.

What if my building is over 45 years old?

Before demolition permits are issued for buildings older than 45 years, property owners must notify abutting neighbors and their Councilmember's office. A 30-day window allows stakeholders to potentially negotiate preservation alternatives.

What if my building contains hazardous materials like asbestos?

Older buildings may contain lead paint, asbestos, or contaminated soil. A certified hazardous materials inspector should assess the site before demolition. If hazardous waste is found, a licensed abatement contractor removes and disposes of it properly.
