Demolition & debris removal in the Rio Grande Valley
Old slabs, sheds, fences, derelict structures, storm debris — we tear it down, haul it out, and leave the site rough-graded and ready for whatever's next.
The Problem
The old stuff has to come down before anything new goes up.
Old sheds, carports, slabs, chain-link, storm-damaged outbuildings — they sit there until you need the space. Then the new build hits a delay because nobody pulled the old slab out. Or the buyer backs out because there's a falling-down shed in the back yard.
We take the structure down, separate the debris where it makes sense (metal to scrap, clean concrete vs. mixed), and haul it off the same week. Slabs we break out and load directly. Sheds and small outbuildings we knock down with the backhoe and clear to the dirt.
After demo, we rough-grade so the site's level and drains away from anything left standing. If you're building back on the same footprint, we coordinate so the pad work follows demo on the same crew.
Scope
What’s included
Small structure demo
Sheds, carports, small barns, lean-tos — taken down with the backhoe and cleared to dirt.
Slab breakout & haul
Concrete slabs broken up, loaded, and hauled off. We separate clean concrete for recycling when possible.
Fence removal
Chain link, wood, T-post — pulled, stacked, and hauled. Concrete fence-post footings broken out.
Storm debris cleanup
Downed trees, fence sections, scattered material after tropical storms — collected and hauled.
Rough grading post-demo
Once the structure's gone, we rough-grade the site so it drains and is ready for the next step.
Haul to legal dump site
Everything we haul goes to a legal disposal site. No illegal dumping, no leftover piles.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does demolition cost in the RGV?
Small slabs and sheds: $800–$2,500. Larger structures or jobs with heavy haul-off: $3,000–$10,000+. The biggest variable is how much you have to haul and how far.
Do you handle the permit?
Most residential demo doesn't need a permit. If your city or HOA requires one (some do for full structures), we'll let you know and help with the paperwork.
Can you demo a house?
We handle small structures, sheds, carports, slabs, and outbuildings. Full house demolition we partner with a heavier-equipment crew — we can quote and coordinate that for you.
How fast can you get there?
Most demo jobs we can fit in within a week. Storm-cleanup work we try to fit in same- or next-day when we can.
What about asbestos or hazardous materials?
If we suspect asbestos in old material we stop and recommend a licensed abatement crew. We don't demo anything with known hazardous material — that's a separate regulated process.
Do you separate for recycling?
Where it makes sense — metal goes to scrap, clean concrete goes to recycling sites in the Valley. Mixed debris goes to a legal dump.
