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 When a structure is failing, outdated, or no longer needed, proper removal protects your property and keeps your project on track.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.

Who We Work With

Homeowners

Your land should work for you, not against you. Whether you are preparing for a new shed, fixing drainage issues, reshaping a yard, or prepping for concrete, we create clean grades that stay stable and drain properly. No mess, no shortcuts, and no uneven surfaces left behind.

Contractors & Commercial Projects

Contractors rely on us for grading and dirt work that matches their schedule and their precision requirements. We prep pads, parking lots, roadways, additions, and project sites so your crew can step in and keep building without delays.

Agricultural and Municipal Projects

Farm sites, utility improvements, road repairs, and public projects need consistent, reliable earthwork. We grade ditches, build access drives, correct slopes, and prepare ground for heavy use across southeast Minnesota.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. We break up, remove, and haul away old slabs, pads, parking lots, and driveways. This includes reinforced concrete and large paved surfaces.

We value your time as well as our own. Depending on the scope of the project, we may. On private (non-public) projects, this may mean we let you know what an on-site consultation would cost prior to setting up the meeting. We walk the property with you, listen to your goals, measure what needs to be done, and provide a clear price and timeline. No surprises and no rushed decisions.
