Demo 1300 Sq. Ft.

Wolf

How much would you charge to demolish a 1300 sq. ft frame house.

Bob Kovacs

Depends-

- How much does a dumpster cost where you are?
- Is there a basement? If so, do you have to rip out the walls and floor? Do you have to fill in the hole?
- How close is it to other buildings? Do you need to protect them?
- Are you going to damage the road/sidewalk/curbs, etc., and have to repair them afterwards?

- Most importantly, what does it cost you to operate your business on a weekly/daily/hourly basis, and how long will it take you to demo the house? If you can't answer those two questions, the rest are probably moot points.

I would do it for $90k.

No, seriously we need more info.

Ninety thousand. That sounds like a pretty good deal.

The house, built in 1906, is wood shingle, has no basement. There is a large tree on the lot that also has to come out, but I figure I can push that over with the excavator.

Trying to compare that with what we pay for demo's I'd say in the 12 - 14k range.

Where are you loacted?
It is probably 5 30cy containers (General Debris) 2 20cy containers (Concrete). No more than 2 days work demo and clean up. Are you going to chip the tree or put it in a container? Most likely a 7,000-9,000 job for my area North NJ if it was for a contractor for a homeowner add 2,000 more

Wolf,

How much are you going to charge?

What do you base your estimates on?

About 7,000 without taking it to a landfill or using dumpsters.

I guess I am in a user friendly area. We charge $6 a sq/ft to demo, and I make some money on it. I do it for less if we are building on the site after it is clean. In my area, 30 yard rool offs go for $250 + $27 a ton over 5 tons. Concrete is free if hauled to the landfill. It would be 5 rolloffs, plus 5 truck loads of concrete roughly (14 ft dump bed) and would need several tons of fill for the foundations. Take 2 days to finish up.
