Demolition in Denver requires permits issued by the city, and the process includes environmental reviews, utility sign-offs, and possibly asbestos abatement, especially in homes built before the 1980s. At Legendary Demolition, we handle all permit applications and ensure full compliance with local laws. We also conduct a thorough site inspection to evaluate the safest and most efficient demolition method.
In neighborhoods with historic protections or zoning restrictions, we work closely with local authorities to avoid delays and ensure the process stays on track. Our goal is to minimize disruption to neighbors while maintaining compliance with all city requirements.
Utility Disconnection and Site Preparation
Once permits are approved, the next step is disconnecting all utilities. This includes shutting off and capping water, sewer, electric, and gas lines. These steps are essential for job site safety and to prevent damage to adjacent infrastructure.
Site preparation includes staging equipment, installing fencing, and identifying any nearby features that need protection. In tightly packed areas like Washington Park or Baker, we take extra precautions to avoid affecting nearby homes or trees. If your home contains salvageable materials, we can coordinate selective deconstruction before full demolition begins.
Structure Removal and Debris Management
Demolition day marks the beginning of the physical teardown. We use mechanical demolition equipment such as excavators or skid steers to bring down the structure safely and efficiently. In some Denver neighborhoods with narrow streets or shared walls, we may use more precise methods to ensure a clean, controlled demolition.
Throughout the process, we manage dust control, noise, and debris in accordance with city standards. Our crews are trained in OSHA safety protocols and remain on-site to monitor progress and address any unexpected issues.
Once the structure is removed, we sort, load, and haul away debris. Materials such as wood, brick, concrete, and metal are processed for recycling whenever possible, keeping the project environmentally responsible.
Final Grading and Inspection
After all debris is cleared, we level and clean the lot. If requested, we can remove the existing foundation or prepare the land for future development through grading or compacting. This leaves your site ready for whatever comes next, whether it’s new construction or resale.
We perform a final inspection and walkthrough to confirm that the project meets all expectations and complies with Denver codes. If your next step includes working with a builder or architect, we’re happy to coordinate the transition to keep your project on schedule.
