Details and pricingHouse Demolition In Windsor, Ontario
House demolition takes down the whole building, removes the foundation and leaves a level lot ready for a new build or a sale. Each house demolition quote covers the permit, the disconnects and the grading.
Most of the house demolition jobs we quote in Windsor are older homes that cost more to repair than to replace, fire-damaged houses and lots bought for a new custom home.
House Demolition details
A House Demolition Follows A Set Order
Ontario's construction regulation sets out how a house demolition must proceed. Glass is removed or protected before the outside walls are demolished. The building is taken apart from the top down, and any basement left behind must be backfilled or fenced. A planned house demolition follows that order every time.
Before any house demolition starts, gas, hydro and water are disconnected at the street and the locates are marked. The site is fenced, and the neighbours on both sides get notice of the start date.
House Demolition On A Tight City Lot
Many Windsor houses sit a few feet from the next one, especially in Walkerville, Riverside and the older streets near downtown. A house demolition on a tight lot takes a smaller machine, a careful pull toward the centre of the lot and steady water to keep dust off the neighbouring homes.
Trees, fences and the city sidewalk are marked and protected before the house demolition begins. Anything you want to keep, from a mature tree to an old brick wall, goes on the quote so it is not missed on the day.
Asbestos Comes Out Before The House Demolition
Ontario requires the owner to find out what designated substances are in a building before a project begins. On a house built before the 1990s, we book a designated substance survey before the permit goes in. If asbestos is found, it is removed under Ontario's asbestos rules first, and then the house demolition goes ahead. Our asbestos and hazardous materials page has more detail.
What A House Demolition Hauls Away And Recycles
A house demolition creates many tonnes of debris. We sort it as it comes down. Brick and concrete go to a crusher for reuse as fill, steel goes to a scrap yard and the mixed waste goes to the Essex-Windsor regional landfill. Sorting keeps the landfill tonnage, and the cost of your house demolition, as low as the job allows.
House Demolition Pricing
A standard 1,500 square foot house typically costs $7,500 to $22,500 to demolish, based on Canadian market figures. A full basement, asbestos, a tight lot or a long haul raise the house demolition price. The City of Windsor demolition permit adds $2.00 per square metre of floor area, with a $360 minimum. The demolition cost page covers the details.

Other Demolition Jobs We Take On
Many Windsor projects combine two of these, such as a garage teardown and a driveway removal on the same visit.
Shed And Deck Removal
Shed removal and deck removal clear away old sheds, decks, gazebos and fences, with every board hauled off, usually in a single morning.

Pool Removal
Pool removal breaks out an unwanted inground pool, fills the hole with compacted clean fill and leaves a level yard. We also handle above-ground pool removal.
Details and pricing
Concrete Removal
Concrete removal breaks up old driveways, patios, walkways and slabs and sends the pieces for recycling. Every concrete removal job ends with a clean, level base.
Details and pricing
Interior Demolition
Interior demolition strips kitchens, bathrooms and whole floors back to the studs so a renovation can start clean. Interior demolition keeps the rest of the building protected.
Details and pricing
Basement Demolition
Basement demolition strips a flooded or tired basement back to the concrete, so it can dry out and be rebuilt properly. We book basement demolition visits quickly after a flood.
Details and pricing
Partial Demolition
Partial demolition removes one part of a building, such as an addition, porch, chimney or wall, while the rest stays sound. Each partial demolition is planned around the structure you keep.
Details and pricing
Commercial Demolition
Commercial demolition takes down stores, plazas, offices and light industrial buildings, or strips them for a new tenant. Every commercial demolition starts with a written plan.

Asbestos And Hazardous Materials
Asbestos removal comes first on older buildings, so demolition never disturbs it by accident. We book the testing and plan asbestos removal under Ontario's rules before any wall comes down.
Details and pricing
Demolition Permits
A demolition permit is required by the City of Windsor before any building comes down. We prepare and file the demolition permit application, including the rat infestation form.
