Search Local Contractors at Angie’s List

If you need someone to demo interior or structural fixtures of your home, it is important to work with someone who is properly licensed and insured for that type of work.
Learn How to Break Down Items Yourself
Many people are surprised at how easy it can be to learn how to do your own demolition yourself. Often times you can break down large and bulky items such as a mattress into a manageable piece you can recycle or throw away with just a pair of scissors and a couple of trash bags.
Shed removal can sometimes be dangerous if you do not understand the basics of how to use tools and construction, but this is another thing many people can do themselves if they are willing to learn and have the tools and equipment to do so.
If you have a reciprocating saw, you can also chop many things into smaller pieces quite easily! We’ve used our reciprocating saw to break down items such as heavy treadmills, hot tubs, and more.
Remember: Safety First!
The most important thing when doing demolition is to make sure you always practice safety. You should ALWAYS wear safety goggles, protective footwear and gloves. Depending on the type of demolition you are doing, it may also be a very good idea to wear a hard hat or respirator so you do not inhale any potentially irritating dust.
