Safe, controlled
demolition.
Done right.
Commercial buildings. Residential teardowns. Interior strip-outs. Decades of tearing things down — the Professional Homewreckers.
Built to take
it down.
Whether you're tearing down a single-family home, stripping out a commercial interior, or taking down an entire industrial complex, G&R's demolition crews bring decades of experience and an in-house fleet built for any takedown to every project. We handle commercial demolition, residential teardowns, interior strip-outs, specialty structures, site cleanup, and full material recovery.
Because everything is in-house — equipment, operators, hauling, recycling — your project doesn't wait on subcontractors and your debris doesn't sit on the site. We show up, we tear it down, we haul it out, we leave the site clean. The Professional Homewreckers.
Our demolition
capabilities. In-house.
Commercial Demolition
Office buildings, retail, warehouses, industrial structures. Coordinated takedowns with utility disconnects, asbestos abatement coordination, and full site cleanup.
Residential Demolition
Whole-house teardowns, garages, outbuildings, foundations, and porches. Permits can even be handled by G&R for an additional fee. Neighbors respected, site left clean and graded.
Interior Demolition
Selective interior strip-outs for renovations and rebuilds — taking what needs to go, leaving the structure ready for the next phase.
Specialty Structures
Churches, schools, barns, silos, and industrial buildings. Big projects need big experience — and we've been doing big projects since 1985.
Site Cleanup & Hauling
Our own roll-offs, our own dump trucks, our own crews. The site doesn't sit waiting on a third-party hauler.
Material Recovery & Recycling
Concrete crushed and reused as backfill. Salvageable materials routed to Bits N Pieces. Scrap metal recovered. Less waste, less landfill, more value.
Commercial and
residential. Same standard.
Built for the contractor.
General contractors, developers, and facility owners trust G&R for demolition that meets the inspector's spec. From single-building takedowns to multi-structure complexes, we coordinate with your crews, your abatement contractors, and your utility disconnects.
