Why Solid Demolition Matters
Good demolition makes room for better things. When a structure is failing, outdated, or no longer needed, proper removal protects your property and keeps your project on track. Controlled demolition prevents damage to nearby structures, protects underground utilities, and clears the way for new builds and improvements.
Quick demos may look simple, but safe demolitions require planning, precision, and the right equipment. Evans Companies removes structures the right way so you can move forward without surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does demolition cost in the Rochester area?
Demolition pricing depends on the size of the structure, the materials involved, access to the property, disposal requirements, and whether utilities need to be disconnected. Small shed or garage removals may cost significantly less than full home tear-downs or commercial demolition. We walk the site with you, assess the structure, and provide a clear, straightforward estimate with no surprises.
Do you handle permits and utility disconnects before demolition?
Some demolitions require city or county permits and utility shut-offs. While property owners or contractors typically pull permits, we can help guide you through the process and provide the information needed. We also coordinate utility marking and ensure everything is safe before any demolition begins. We can also arrange to pull needed permits if desired.
Can you perform selective demolition for remodels and additions?
Yes. Selective demo is one of our specialties. We can remove only the areas that need to come down while protecting the remaining structure. This is common for additions and remodels.
Do you remove all demolition debris?
Yes. We handle complete debris removal including wood, concrete, metal, roofing materials, and more. We load, haul, and dispose of everything properly so your site is clean when we are finished.
Can you remove underground tanks, septic systems, or buried concrete?
Yes. Underground structures require careful excavation and controlled removal. We dig out septic tanks, fuel tanks, buried slabs, and old foundations safely and ensure the area is properly backfilled and compacted afterward. We also crush certain systems when required.
Do you provide demolition for farms and agricultural properties?
Absolutely. We remove barns, silos, grain bins, machine sheds, livestock buildings, and other agricultural structures. Rural demolition often requires heavy equipment, controlled takedowns, and precise cleanup. Our crew handles all of that.
Can you demolish concrete or asphalt?
Yes. We break up, remove, and haul away old slabs, pads, parking lots, and driveways. This includes reinforced concrete and large paved surfaces.
Do you offer free demolition estimates?
