House and Garage Demolition Tips for Salem, IL
There's more than one way to take apart a house, so the #1 on your to-do list is to decide which type of demolition is best for you.
This is the most common form of demolition—the act of simply tearing down the house with the help of hydraulic excavators and other heavy machinery. The resulting debris is then hauled away via trailer or dumpster. Mechanical demolition is the cheapest and fastest solution, costing between $4,000 and $14,000 on average.
Also known as "demolition by hand," deconstruction is the process of manually stripping and deconstructing the house piece by piece with the intent of salvaging as many of the materials inside the home as possible. Because of the additional labor involved, expect to pay 2 to 3 times as much to deconstruct your home rather than demolish it.
