Garland Demolition Services | Residential & Commercial Demolition in Dallas County
Garland TX’s most trusted Demolition service team for homes and businesses
Garland Demolition Services has handled house demolition in Garland, TX since 2014, finishing more than 1,200 residential and commercial projects along the way. Our OSHA 30-hour supervisors run every site, and the company backs them with $2 million in general-liability coverage, workers' compensation, and National Demolition Association membership.
Garland Permits and Utility Planning
A 1970s ranch off North Garland Avenue stalled when the utility's records missed a capped gas line. Our project lead traced it with the city's permit staff, rescheduled the disconnect, and filed the corrected application, so the excavator started 4 days later with no inspection delays.
Safety Training Before the Equipment Arrives
After a fire weakened the roof trusses on a Garland ranch, our OSHA 30-hour certified supervisor kept crews out of the footprint and pulled the roof down from outside with the excavator. Our OSHA 10-hour certified field crews finished the teardown with zero recorded injuries.
A Written Scope from Teardown to Haul-Off
Crews uncovered a buried second slab behind a Garland garage, and because the scope priced slab removal separately, the owner approved the extra 180 square feet in writing that afternoon. The rest of the quote never moved.
Local Experience with Different Demolition Jobs
A detached garage in older North Garland sat 6 feet from the neighbor's fence and under a live service line, so our crews swapped the full-size excavator for a compact machine and left the fence untouched. As a National Demolition Association member, Garland Demolition Services matches equipment to every structure.

Recent Demolition Projects in Garland, TX
Fire-Damaged House Demolition at 3021 Ripplewood Dr, Garland, TX 75044
A kitchen fire burned through the roof and framing, and the owners of this 1,850-square-foot brick ranch wanted the lot cleared for a rebuild. Our crew coordinated the electric and gas shutoffs, filed the Garland demolition application, and screened the charred materials for hazards before the excavator arrived. We took down the roof, framing, and two-car garage in sections while crews wet the debris to protect neighbors on Ripplewood Drive. After breaking out the attached slab and hauling everything to a licensed facility, we graded the lot flat. The site sits minutes from the President George Bush Turnpike.
Turnaround Time: 3 field days after approvals and utility disconnects
Price: $15,400
Gunite Pool Removal at 1613 Whiteoak Dr, Garland, TX 75040
The owners of this Northeast Garland home no longer used their 16-by-32-foot gunite pool and wanted the yard back. A broad concrete deck and irrigation lines ran close to the work area, so our crew marked the sprinkler lines before draining the shell. The excavator broke the shell and deck into pieces, and trucks hauled the concrete to a recycling facility. We packed approved fill in lifts, passed the compaction inspection, and graded the yard to drain away from the house. North Texas clay moves with the seasons, so careful compaction matters on every pool lot here.
Turnaround Time: 4 working days, including inspection and backfill
Price: $7,200
Retail Tenant-Improvement Gut-Out at 4125 Broadway Blvd, Suite 118, Garland, TX 75043
The owner of this 2,400-square-foot second-generation retail suite needed the space stripped for the next tenant's build-out while neighbors stayed open on both sides. Our crew worked evenings, sealed off the shared walls, and ran dust control. We removed the old flooring, non-structural partitions, suspended ceiling, and unused fixtures, then sorted metal, drywall, and mixed debris into roll-off containers. Our project lead coordinated utility capping with the build-out contractor, who received a clean shell on day five. The suite sits just off the I-30 interchange on Broadway Boulevard, so parking and dumpster placement affected each night's schedule.
Turnaround Time: 5 evenings
Price: $9,600
Reviews From Garland Homeowners and Property Owners
Marcus D.
Property Owner, North Garland
Fire-damaged house gone in 3 days
"Our rental house on the north side burned in the spring, and the neighbors worried about the leaning roof every time the wind picked up. Garland Demolition Services handled the permit and the gas shutoff, took the house down in 3 days, and left the lot graded flat. That is the house demolition in Garland we hoped for."
Indi R.
Homeowner, Northeast Garland
Pool removal without the muddy mess
"We had a cracked gunite pool and a big concrete deck nobody used. The crew marked our sprinkler lines first, hauled out every piece of concrete, and packed the fill so well that we laid sod 2 weeks later. Pool removal in Garland done right."
Tom W.
Homeowner, North Garland
Detached garage down and the neighbor's fence untouched
"Our old detached garage leaned toward the fence line and sat right under the service line. The crew brought a compact machine, kept the fence intact, and hauled the slab that same week. Garage demolition in Garland without a single complaint from next door."
Denise A.
Homeowner, Garland
Driveway removed and ready for new concrete
"Tree roots had heaved our old driveway, and the rebar made it stubborn. Concrete removal in Garland took 1 day, the saw cuts at the garage apron came out clean, and the subgrade was level when our pour crew arrived."
Residential Demolition Services in Garland, TX
House / Residential Demolition
Residential demolition in Garland, TX starts at the permit counter, because the city requires a permit for whole or partial demolition. Our crews coordinate that application and the utility disconnects before anyone fences the lot.
Once the excavator arrives, it takes the house down in sections while a hose crew keeps the dust low. Our project lead walks the cleared lot with the owner at handoff.
Interior and Selective Demolition
Interior demolition in Garland, TX strips cabinets, flooring, ceilings, non-structural partitions, and old fixtures so a remodel starts on clean framing. Our crews work room by room, cap the plumbing and electrical lines, and cover the spaces that stay.
Homes built before 1989 often hide asbestos in ceiling texture or floor tile, so our team tests suspect materials before any selective demolition begins.
Garage and Accessory-Structure Demolition
Garage demolition in Garland, TX splits into 2 jobs. Structure-only removal takes down the walls, roof, and door while the slab stays for a new build, and slab removal adds saw cuts and a concrete haul-off.
Attached and detached garages need different disconnect points, so our crews trace the wiring first. HomeAdvisor lists garage teardown at $4 to $10 per square foot.
Pool Demolition and Removal
Pool removal in Garland, TX comes in 2 forms. A partial fill-in breaks the floor and collapses the shell into itself, while full removal hauls the whole shell away before approved fill goes in.
Gunite and concrete pools suit either route, but vinyl and fiberglass shells need full removal. Full removal restores buildable ground, which matters when the owners plan an addition later.
Concrete and Driveway Removal
Concrete removal in Garland, TX begins with saw-cut boundaries, so the break stays clean along the edges that remain. Our crews check for rebar or wire mesh first, because reinforced slabs need heavier equipment and more time.
A jackhammer or hydraulic breaker splits the driveway or patio, and trucks haul the pieces away. The subgrade stays level for new flatwork.
Foundation and Concrete Slab Removal
Foundation removal in Garland, TX separates 3 kinds of concrete. Shed pads, garage slabs, and patios break out as flatwork, while a house slab involves footings and thicker steel that need an excavator-mounted breaker.
Some North Texas slabs, especially newer ones, carry post-tension cables, so our crews locate them before any saw touches the surface. Fill and compaction close out the job.
More Demolition and Removal Services in Garland, TX
Shed and Outbuilding Demolition
Shed demolition in Garland, TX covers wood, metal, and resin outbuildings, and each material comes apart differently. Wood sheds go down in panels, metal sheds unbolt and leave as scrap, and resin sheds break into light pieces.
Our crews empty and unplug the shed first, check for a wired subpanel, and remove the pad when a replacement is planned. HomeAdvisor lists shed removal at $250 to $3,000.
Deck and Fence Removal
Deck removal in Garland, TX targets unsafe or rotted boards, joists, and posts, while fence removal covers panels that storm winds and hail damaged. Our crews pull the fasteners, cut the lumber for hauling, and dig out the concrete footings so replacement posts sit in fresh holes.
Older decks deserve a close look at the ledger board, because it often pulls away from the house.
Demolition Debris and Junk Hauling
Demolition debris removal in Garland, TX covers concrete, brick, lumber, drywall, roofing, and metal from teardown and remodel jobs. Our crews load roll-off containers or haul-off trucks, depending on lot access, and sort concrete and metal for recycling when the job allows.
Paint, treated wood, and anything with asbestos need separate handling and carry disposal limits, so our team flags those before loading.
Commercial Demolition and Tenant-Improvement Gut-Outs
Commercial demolition in Garland, TX serves landlords, property managers, developers, tenants, and general contractors who need a suite turned over fast. Our crews strip office and retail space to the shell, schedule noisy work after hours, and sort debris into separate containers.
Commercial scope runs on its own schedule and turnover checklist, apart from homeowner jobs, so neighboring tenants keep operating.
Specialty Demolition and Site Services in Garland, TX
Mobile-Home and Manufactured-Home Removal
Mobile home and manufactured home demolition in Garland, TX starts with ownership paperwork, because lenders or lot owners often need to approve removal. Our crews coordinate the utility disconnects, then haul a single-wide away intact or dismantle it on site.
Skirting, piers, and any concrete pad come out last, and older units get an asbestos check before disposal.
Site Preparation, Grading, and Excavation
Site preparation in Garland, TX covers the earthwork after demolition, including residential grading, building pad preparation, and drainage shaping. Texas law requires 2 working days' notice to Texas811 before digging, and the locate marks stay valid for 14 days.
Our excavation crews cut, fill, and compact in lifts, then finish the grade so water drains toward the street instead of the new foundation.
Land and Lot Clearing
Lot clearing in Garland, TX removes brush, stumps, old fence lines, and leftover debris so a property is ready to build, sell, or maintain. Tree rules and drainage patterns affect the plan, so our team confirms with the city what must stay before the first cut.
Our crews grind or pull stumps depending on the next use, and the cleared grade follows the lot's natural flow.
Asbestos Survey and Abatement Coordination
Asbestos testing in Garland, TX comes before demolition on commercial properties, and the Texas Department of State Health Services requires a survey plus notice 10 working days before work begins. Single private residences fall outside those federal rules, but our crews recommend testing older homes as well.
Garland Demolition Services coordinates the survey with Texas-licensed asbestos professionals and keeps abatement separate from demolition.

Supervisors with OSHA 30-hour training choose the equipment, crew size, and exclusion zones around each lot's utility locates, and crews with OSHA 10-hour training review hazards before every shift.
Written Scope and a Named Project Lead
Every estimate names 1 project lead who reviews the written scope with the owner, coordinates permits, approves changes in writing, and sends progress updates until handoff.
A Defined Site Handoff

Structures, Materials, and Site Conditions We Work Around
Concrete, Rebar, Brick, and Masonry
Reinforced concrete, wire mesh, block, and brick call for hydraulic breakers, and slab thickness sets the pace more than the footprint does.
Wood, Metal, Drywall, and Interior Materials
Framing, roofing, partitions, flooring, and ceilings come out in stages, so wood, metal, and drywall land in separate piles instead of 1 mixed load.
Pool Types and Removal Scope
Gunite or concrete shells suit partial or full removal, while fiberglass and vinyl liner pools need full removal. The pool deck comes out in both cases.
Utilities, Access, and Neighboring Structures
Tight gates, shared driveways, overhead lines, irrigation, adjacent buildings, and right-of-way boundaries decide which equipment fits and where crews stage it.
Equipment and Debris Handling
Excavators, skid steers, concrete saws, and jackhammers do the breaking, and roll-off containers carry the debris to recycling or disposal sites.
How Much Does Demolition Cost in Garland, TX?
Demolition in Garland, TX has no single flat price, because structure type, materials, and access move the total more than square footage alone. HomeAdvisor puts whole-house demolition at $4 to $17 per square foot, which works out to about $15,800 for a typical 2,000-square-foot house, and most projects land between $6,000 and $25,000.
Garland and Dallas-Area Price Context
No neutral source publishes Garland-specific demolition rates, so this table pairs Dallas pool figures from Angi with national ranges from HomeAdvisor and LawnStarter. Project prices in the case studies above come from completed jobs, while the table lists published ranges.
What Changes a Demolition Estimate?
Structure size sets the base number, and materials adjust it because brick and concrete cost more to break and haul than wood framing. Access, utilities, permits, slab or foundation removal, pool type, debris volume, and site restoration then move the total up or down. A fire-damaged ranch with an attached slab, for example, prices higher than the same footprint with the slab left in place. HomeAdvisor reports permits at $100 to $500 and asbestos removal at an average of $2,000.
What the Written Estimate Includes
Garland Demolition Services writes the estimate as separate lines for demolition, haul-off, disposal, fill, compaction, grading, and permits, then lists exclusions such as asbestos abatement or utility relocation. Those lines show an owner exactly which work sits in the price and which work belongs to another trade. Pricing stays an estimate until our project lead reviews the site or photos and dimensions, because buried utilities, slab thickness, and tight access only show up on the ground.
Project type | Typical range |
|---|---|
House demolition | $4 to $17 per sq ft |
Interior demolition | $2 to $7 per sq ft |
Commercial demolition | $4 to $8 per sq ft |
Concrete removal | $2 to $7 per sq ft, with $2 to $4 for unreinforced and $4 to $7 for reinforced |
In-ground pool partial fill-in, Dallas | $2,575 to $10,310 |

What to Expect from a Demolition Project in Garland, TX
Site Review and Written Scope
Our project lead reviews photos, dimensions, access, materials, utilities, and the owner's plans for the lot, then writes a scope that separates demolition, haul-off, fill, and grading.
Permits, Utilities, and Hazard Screening
Our project lead files the Garland permit and schedules the utility disconnects. When a hazard survey applies, such as asbestos in a commercial building, Texas-licensed specialists handle it before demolition starts.
Site Protection and Controlled Removal
Crews mark boundaries, set equipment access, and protect retained structures, landscaping, and neighboring property, then remove the structure in controlled sections instead of a single pull.
Haul-Off, Recycling, and Disposal
Trucks and roll-offs separate concrete, metal, wood, and mixed debris where the job allows, and recyclable loads go to recycling facilities rather than the landfill.
Fill, Compaction, Grading, and Inspection
After removal, crews place approved fill in lifts, compact it, and grade the lot, then schedule whichever inspection the permit requires. The scope spells out which of those steps apply.
